This week, we're joined by special guest Hena Khan, an award-winning children’s author who’s written many books, including Amina’s Voice, which was named one of the best books of 2017 by the Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews, NPR, and many more. She also wrote More to the Story, a contemporary adaptation of Little Women that takes place in a Pakistani American family and centers on one Jameela Mirza and her quest for school paper greatness. Together, we take a look at Chapter 13: Castles in the Air - Hena's working title for More to the Story; fun fact! - and learn all about the March sisters' - and Laurie's - wildest dreams. Will any of these dreams come true? Shake this magic 8 ball with us to find out!
