WOW Reads: S2, E7 - RAP Reads A Little Like Waking by Adam Rex

WOW Reads

Join the Worlds of Words Center Middle School and Teen Reading Ambassadors as we discuss A Little Like Waking by Adam Rex.
We open the episode by describing our time with Rex as "meeting a legend in person." We chat about dreams and love and the duality of both. We also discuss getting back on the proverbial bike and whether we need a push off a cliff or to jump on our own.
We failed to talk about the book illustrations in this podcast, so watch for that in our bonus year-end recap episode. Listeners may also hear the shutter of Bob Bingham Photography.
In this episode, we also mention a previous WOW Reads episode with Guadalupe Garcia McCall in which she describes how her characters come to her.
This podcast was recorded in the Digital Innovation and Learning Lab (DIALL) in the UArizona College of Education with assistance from the UA COE Tech Team.
