Bedside Reading This Winter (a Heartstopper novella)
The Netflix adaptation of Alice Oseman's Heartstopper graphic novels was the highlight of my TV watching year last year and I was so delighted to realise they were based on a wonderful series of graphic novels.
This winter is a tiny novella which packs a punch and has some of the most powerful "voice of the young person" writing I've encountered in a long while. In a special episode for Pride month I'm delighted to welcome GP ST3 Ellie Corso to talk about adolescents, eating disorders, scaffolding and so much more.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.
