Welcome to the 58th episode of This One’s Dedicated to…, in which Jennifer Ziegler and I share our quick conversation with author Yamile Saied Méndez about the dedication she wrote for her middle grade novel The Beautiful Game (Algonquin Young Readers, 2024).

The Beautiful Game is just one of the titles included in the September 2024 book giveaway that I’m doing for subscribers to my monthly Bartography Express newsletter (you can subscribe here).

Four Bartography Express subscribers will win one copy of each giveaway title — multiple winners, multiple books! If you’d like one of those winners to be you, by the end of September 2024 either say so in the comments below or email me directly, and you’ll be in the running. (U.S. mailing addresses only.)

Thanks for watching, and please visit the main This One’s Dedicated to… page for more episodes and a look at who Jennifer and I will be talking with soon.
