  What’s the Deal with Stuart Gibbs?  Stuart Gibbs in an Interview      I first read a book by Stuart Gibbs when I was in fifth grade. The first book of his that I read was Belly Up . As I was reading through the book, I noticed that I enjoyed the plot and the author’s writing style. After finishing Belly Up , I soon found myself craving more Stuart Gibbs books.

  Alice Oseman Alice Oseman is one of my favorite authors. She writes queer young-adult fiction books and has had the most success with Heartstopper , a book series that is now a show on Netflix with a second season soon to come. I will be talking about my three favorite Alice Oseman books. These are 3 of her 4 standalone books and they all have themes of friendship, self-discovery, and identity. Radio Silence Radio Silence is Alice Oseman's second book. It follows a high-achieving high school girl named Frances who loves the science-fiction podcast, Radio Silence . She gets good grades in school no matter what and she will not let anything get in the way of her going to Cambridge. Secretly though, she has a passion for art. So when the creator of Radio Silence offers her a chance to make the graphics for the podcast, she immediately agrees. Coincidentally, she becomes closer with Aled, the creator, throughout the summer and they become great friends. This book follows Frances, h
