In this captivating episode, we immerse ourselves in the atmospheric world of 1930s Pittsburgh with the dynamic literary duo, M.M. Downing and S.J. Waugh. Downing and Waugh discuss their middle-grade trilogy "The Adventures of the Flash Gang," where the lead character, a street orphan, and his diverse gang outwit pro-Nazi plots.
Dubbed by host Alex Greenwood as "The Baker Street Irregulars meets Encyclopedia Brown," the book's setting provides a gritty, smoggy backdrop that effectively becomes a character in itself and resonates with the current political climate, drawing parallels with modern American politics. It's a book that will capture your middle grader's attention and may just delight the middle-grader in you.
Listen in!
“Delightfully Dickensian in spirit. Period events are woven seamlessly into this rollicking tale of friendship and fortitude. I challenge any reader not to fall in love with the histrionics and devil-may-care verve of Pearl Alice Clavell and her grease-smeared partner in crime, Lewis Carter.” —J.R. Potter, author of Thomas Creeper and the Gloomsbury Secret
