In the second episode of this series with Alan Gratz, Alan tells Julie about two of his upcoming titles. Captain America: The Ghost Army is his upcoming graphic novel, and Two Degrees is the latest in his series of social thrillers released with Scholastic, a middle-grade prose novel about climate change. Julie and Alan discuss the importance of Ban This Book, Alan’s title that came out in 2016 and has proved (unfortunately) somewhat prescient. To be a free and open society, argues Alan, we must have books on the shelves that we don’t like.
