19. From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

Oct 1

This week on the podcast, I am joined by Beth Hollar Gier. Beth chose From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, which was a favorite childhood book for both of us, so we enjoyed a half hour of gushing about how much we love this book.

Beth Hollar Gier grew up along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. She studied music at the University of Michigan and worked with middle school and high school students for many years. In 2023, she earned her MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Hamline University. These days, she lives and writes in Michigan, serves as a mentor for the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop, and cherishes time with her family. IT’S LIKE WE TOUCHED THE MOON is her debut novel.
