Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers


April Genevieve Tucholke was raised on a farm and had a deep connection with nature. She loved reading and writing but was never close to the city, reason why she didn't have a great source to buy and read plenty of books. She used to write plays and have her siblings act it out, which she says was very fun! For a while after college, she stopped writing until later in her life she lived in Scotland and fell in love with the nature of it and taught herself how to write a whole novel, and explore Gothic cities. Come on to KTEP and listen to more of April Tucholke and her journey, here at the Book Club with Louie Saenz.

Book publishing date: October 3rd 2023
