227. CODE BREAKING AND CRITICAL THINKING: AN INTERVIEW WITH RUTA SEPETYS AND STEVE SHEINKIN

Thu, 03 Oct 2024

We love hosting authors on this podcast, and today we have a repeat guest. Itโ€™s the one and only Ruta Sepetys, only this time sheโ€™s joined by author, Steve Sheinkin! Ruta and Steve had teamed up and co-authored a new book called The Bletchley Riddle.ย 

The Bletchley Riddle is a historical mystery for middle grades and weโ€™re so honored to have the opportunity to hear all the details from the authors themselves. Ruta and Steve share how this collaboration came to be, what the co-writing process was like, and how they envision students interacting with the text.

Not only is this a great episode for ELA teachers, but it would also be a fun one to share with your students. It brings important yet underrepresented history to light in an exciting and engaging way for young readers. Be sure to check Rutaโ€™s website for an educator's guide to The Bletchley Riddle!
