The B&n Ya Podcast

Today on the B&N YA Podcast, Elizabeth Acevedo joins us to talk about her forthcoming novel With the Fire on High, the story of a high-school girl balancing motherhood, her care for her beloved grandmother, and her ambitions to take her culinary talents to new heights. It's a marvel of a follow-up to The Poet X, her National Book Award-winning novel in verse.  She talks with Melissa Albert about food, identity, memory, reading and much more.
