Claudia Kishi, Live from WSTO!

Reach for this book when your child is struggling to balance their various interests or feels like they have to hide a part of themselves to fit in. As Claudia Kishi starts a secret late-night radio show at her school, she navigates the thrill of having a platform with the anxiety of leading a double life. It is a perfect choice for children who feel the weight of adult expectations or the pressure to perform academically while their true passions lie elsewhere. Through Claudia's journey, the book explores themes of integrity, creative expression, and the importance of being known for who you truly are. While primarily a fun, realistic middle-grade novel, it offers a grounded look at how secrets can complicate even the best friendships. It is ideally suited for kids aged 8 to 12 who are beginning to assert their independent identities.
