On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with J.A Dauber about his debut middle grade novel: PRESS 1 FOR INVASION. 

In this immersive book, Matt, who just wanted a cell phone, ends up being responsible for saving the world from an alien invasion. It’s action-packed, full of fun and might make you look at the staff at your school in a different light. =)

Come listen as we talk about the image that launched the idea for the book, the non-stop action that propels the reader forward, the underlying theme of friendship on the pages and his hopes for his middle grade debut.
