And Brooks Olson is not just a legend in this town for being a brave firefighter but he’s also a legend for being an amazing football player. He was adopted by one of the firefighters inside, Brooks Olson. We know that he, as a baby, was dropped off the on the front step of a firehouse in Northfield, Minnesota. Yes, Cyrus is the main character in Brave Like That. But before we start talking about the way in which it just rang so true, could you introduce us to Cyrus? Our main character in the book? So, I just loved that this book just captured so much about middle school.
Jeanie: Oh, my goodness, thank you for adding that to my to be read list. Even though I like, I knew the ending because I had followed the story in the news, it was just like edge of your seat reading. It’s the true account of the Thai Boys soccer team rescue from a flooded cave in Thailand. Lindsey: You know I just finished last night the amazing All Thirteen by Christina Soontornvat. But before we get to that, what are you reading right now? What’s on your nightstand table or maybe what are you reading? Thank you so much for joining us to talk about this book which I loved. So, were both of your previous books on the Vermont Middle Grades Book Award list? Lindsey: Sure! Yeah, my first book was called Just Like Jackie and the second one is Right as Rain and the next one that’s coming out in May is called B Is For Blended. Jeanie: Congratulations! Can you just name for us your other two books and your forthcoming book? Brave Like That was my third middle grade novel. And I have a three year old and a four year old son. Now, I was born and raised in Vermont and then spent 12 years living and teaching in Washington Heights, New York City and have since returned with my young family back to Vermont which feels it feels really wonderful to be here. I’m so honored to be here to chat with you about Brave Like That. Tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do? Jeanie: Thank you so much for joining me, Lindsey.
