People often have difficulty processing, or even talking about, emotions. In this segment, Carol Roberts, head of Young People's Services at Troy Public Library, suggests five books for kids and teens that can help readers explore various feelings. She calls the picture book "Goodbye: A First Conversation About Grief" (Madison & Ralli, 2023) a must-have for parents to help children deal with inevitable loss. "Evergreen" (Cordell, 2023), another picture book, tells how a squirrel learns to deal with fear. Two books are part of the "Read It Forward" program that gives free books to teens: "Elatsoe" (Darcy Little Badger, 2020) is the story of an Apache girl who explores her cousin's death in a town of gruesome secrets. The YA graphic novel "Hollow" (Watters & Boyer-White, 2022) retells the Legend of Sleepy Hollow set in current times. The final book, "Something Like Home" (Arango, 2023), portrays in verse the story of a Latina girl who is forced to live with her aunt after finding her parents have overdosed on drugs. Carol suggests this would be a helpful read for any youth in or facing foster care. For more details, stop by the main branch at 100 Second Street, or visit www.thetroylibrary.org.

This week, we're (begrudgingly and against our better judgement) talking about Nancy Drew and The Phantom of Pine Hill.  Kelly would solve the mystery with a Chapter 2 slumber party, Karen would have passed on this case entirely, and Fifi-the-Cat joins the pod. Nancy and Ned engage in some real intense PDA, Dave gets stuck in a chimney, Bess is the hero we've always needed, Nancy gets concussed (again), and Ned is a real Dad-jokes kinda' poet. 6 out of 12 padlocked libraries. Recommendations:In The Hall with The Knife by Diana Peterfreund (listener rec)Elatsoe by Darcy Little Badger Support the showhttps://www.instagram.com/itsacluepodcast/

In worldbuilding, we think a lot about the cities and towns that populate our worlds, as well as the enchanted forests, the treacherous mountain ranges, the gloomy swamps, and all those other terrains that adventurers on a quest find themselves trekking across. But what about the feature that makes up over 70% of our own planet and likely a significant percentage of the one you're creating? Darcie Little Badger joins us to talk about worldbuilding on and under the water! From the teeming biodiversity of coral reefs to the fascinatingly weird creatures of the depths, what inspiration can writers take from the oceans and seas? How do the denizens of your world flourish with -- or in spite of -- the effects the oceans have on them?   (Transcript tk) Our Guest: Darcie Little Badger is a Lipan Apache writer with a PhD in oceanography.

Imagine um mundo muito parecido com o nosso. Existe dever de casa, melhores amigos e sorvete de pistache. Mas há algumas diferenças. Esse novo mundo é moldado por magia, monstros, conhecimento e pelas lendas de seus povos ― originários ou não. Partes dessa magia são encantadoras e aplicadas diariamente, como a capacidade de criar esferas de luz ou a de usar círculos de cogumelos para viajar pelo mundo. No entanto, outras forças são menos agradáveis e nunca deveriam ser manipuladas. Elatsoe vive nesse ambiente levemente diferente do nosso. Ela consegue despertar o espírito de animais mortos, uma habilidade passada por gerações em sua família no povo Lipan Apache. Seu amado primo acabou de ser assassinado em uma cidade que não quer ser xeretada. Com a ajuda de sua família, ela deve seguir as pistas do assassinato e desenrolar o mistério da assustadora cidade com um passado sombrio. Mas será que os cidadãos de Willowbee vão permitir que isso ocorra? Livro: https://amzn.to/3UzziP6 Twitter e insta: @termineicast

Sometimes you read a young adult fiction and don't really have anything noteworthy to bitch about. The guys talk about electronics, N.A.R.C., and create a new character...  and talk about a book.

Recording during a snowy MLK Day, Hannah and Sam are in a loquacious mood, covering a lot of ground with many asides. However, we open with the 2021 Shop bestsellers, talking about how Hannah's tastes influence what gets sold, how we see local authors with great success in the Shop, and how Sam's tastes don't necessarily align. Then we move into Led Zeppelin and Duran Duran (shoutout to Ryan Abernathy), Joan Didion (RIP) and memoirs in general, the practice of guilt reading, the YA title "Elatsoe" (actually pronounced "ell-at-so-ay," we have since discovered), Sam's joy at discovering a Jane Austen mystery series, and some discourse on audiobooks vs. audio dramas and the evil of space tourism.  Also, the famous cat Rabbit makes a brief appearance. And it's unclear why Sam's voice is so low. He did not spend the whole night previous smoking butts. 

Ghosts and monsters, strong families and a connection to the Earth fill the two young adult novels penned by Darcie Little Badger '10. Readers also find traditional Lipan Apache storytelling elements that Badger, a member of the Lipan Apache tribe, learned from her family while growing up in Texas. Badger spoke with PAW about her books — Elatsoe and A Snake Falls to Earth — about facing rejection on her path to becoming a writer, and why she wants her young readers to come away feeling hopeful about the future.

Hello, coven! We're back with a conversation about Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse. There's some debate as to whether or not the book is young adult, but we enjoyed it regardless. Show notes below! Content warning: brief mention of sexual assault (24:55-25:40)  Why did we pick this book? J read Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse  when it came out with her book club. (patron/friend-of-the-show) Deanna said Trail of Lightning was also really good, and we're always looking to add more diverse voices to the podcast! Should we make merch with J's tagline “Chaos Ensues”? Recommend if you like… [read-alikes mostly, but also other media, film, tv, etc.]  The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline if you're interested in Indigenous stories about the end of the world. (We talk about The Marrow Thieves in episode 30) Reservation Dogs on Hulu which scatters in Indigenous stories and is set in the modern day Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger, which we read quite recently (episode 57). It would be good for younger readers If you're into monster hunting stories, you'll like Trail of Lightning Also the film Mad Max: Fury Road  Buffy the Vampire Slayer K recently watched that movie San Andreas with Duane The Rock Johnson What is it with apocalypse movies/shows/stories and fingerless gloves? Libraries are crucial archives for keeping information and languages accessible for future generations. In the novel Kai listens to elders' testimonies – underscoring the importance of indigenous oral traditions Avatar the Last Airbender Trail of Lightning is book 1 of a series called The Sixth World. Book 2 is called Storm of Locusts and it's already out (published in 2019). Can't wait to see what happens next! From J: “It should be noted there has been some push back from some Indigenous groups about Trail of Lightning. I'll link to a couple of the articles I read about the issues, but the gist of it is that Roanhorse is not Navajo and she is not from a federally recognized tribe. I can't speak to these issues, but what I do feel like I can say is that a tribe being federally recognized should not be the only thing that makes someone Indigenous. The history of this country has shown us that much. Additionally, Roanhorse is half Black, and anti-Blackness abounds in every community – including Black communities. So I'm a little skeptical, but I'm also not Indigenous, so I can't speak to the issues of appropriation in any way, because I am not familiar with the cultural practices of the many many Indigenous tribes. Based on some of the critiques I read, perhaps if the book came with a content warning regarding the violence in the story, there would have been less pushback?” You can read some of the articles below if you're interested, and we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Enjoy our presentation of Elatsoe, written by Darcie Little Badger, and published by Levine Querido. Imagine an America very similar to our own. It's got homework, best friends, and pistachio ice cream. There are some differences. This America has been shaped dramatically by the magic, monsters, knowledge, and legends of its peoples, those Indigenous and those not. Some of these forces are charmingly everyday, like the ability to make an orb of light appear or travel across the world through rings of fungi. But other forces are less charming and should never see the light of day. Seventeen-year-old Elatsoe ("Ellie" for short) lives in this slightly stranger America. She can raise the ghosts of dead animals, a skill passed down through generations of her Lipan Apache family. Her beloved cousin has just been murdered, in a town that wants no prying eyes.

Tananarive Due's novella “Ghost Summer” takes place in the fictional town of Gracetown, Florida. Gracetown is the kind of small town where everyone knows everyone because the families go back to the town's founding. But Gracetown is different in one significant way: ghosts come out on hot summer nights. And those ghosts can only be seen by children. Now, most young boys and girls would run away from a town full of ghosts, but narrator Davie is not most kids. He's a budding ghost hunter, who can't wait for his summer among the spirits.  Recommended in this episode: Ring Shout (2020) and Elatsoe (2020) Up next: Justina Ireland's Dread Nation  Please rate and review us, or better yet, tell a friend.  Our social media is @MonsterWrote on Twitter and Instagram.
