As a bestselling author of several YA titles, including Dear Martin, Jackpot, and Odd One Out, Nic Stone knows how to create stories that resonate with young readers. The Wall Street Journal calls her new book, Clean Getaway, aimed at the slightly younger middle-grade audience, “a road novel that serves in part as a primer on important scenes and themes of the civil-rights movement.” Stone discusses her latest release with FM89.3 WYPL’s Stephen Usery.
