It's an interview about the middle grade historical fantasy Sweep: The Story of a Girl and Her Monster by Jonathan Auxier which originally aired in May, 2019, and it's also about golems, and fighting for justice. Since 2019, Author Jonathan Auxier has become a podcaster too. He and Matt Bird cohost A Good Story Well Told, a show about the craft of storytelling.  LEARN MORE: <ul data-pm-slice="3 3 []"> <li> <a href="https://www.thescop.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jonathan Auxier’s website</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/1028848554" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Borrow</a> or <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/2507/9781419737022" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy</a> Sweep </li> <li> <a href="https://www.thescop.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">A Good Story Well Told</a> - Jonathan’s podcast </li> <li> <a href= "https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2019/05/sweep-story-of-girl-and-her-monster.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Original show notes</a> with links to books and games mentioned in the interview </li> <li> <a href="https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2019/09/bonus-episode-superfight.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Follow-up episode with Jonathan: Superfight!</a> </li> <li><a href= "https://open.substack.com/pub/bookoflifepodcast/p/september-throwback-sweep-the-story?r=16b2w9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true"> Bonus Content in Substack Newsletter</a></li> </ul> CREDITS: <ul> <li>Produced by <a href="https://login.cbiboca.org/fcl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Feldman Children's Library</a> at <a href="https://www.cbiboca.org/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Congregation B'nai Israel</a></li> <li>Co-sponsored by the <a href= "https://jewishlibraries.org/">Association of Jewish Libraries</a></li> <li>Sister podcast: <a href= "https://jewishlibraries.org/nicejewishbooks/">Nice Jewish Books</a></li> <li>Theme Music: <a href= "https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2006/01/book-of-life-on-book-awards-january.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Freilachmakers Klezmer String Band</a></li> <li>Newsletter: <a href= "https://bookoflifepodcast.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">bookoflifepodcast.substack.com</a></li> <li>Facebook Discussion Group: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/JewishKidlitMavens" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish Kidlit Mavens</a></li> <li>Facebook Page: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/Bookoflifepodcast/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Facebook.com/bookoflifepodcast</a></li> <li>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bookoflifepodcast/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@bookoflifepodcast</a></li> <li>Support the Podcast: <a href= "https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/p/support.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shop or Donate</a></li> </ul> Your feedback is welcome!
