Mr. Pearson Talks Books
Hello! My name is Jonathan and this is Mr. Pearson Talks Books.
I am a teacher and a dad who loves to read and talk about middle grade fiction, especially middle grade fantasy novels. My hope is to connect with other teachers, librarians, and parents who also love middle grade books. Or maybe you are looking for some books to help your students or children fall in love with reading. If that's you, I hope you'll stick around so we can talk about books together.
While I primarily talk about middle grade fiction, I also enjoy adult fantasy, Star Wars novels, and classic literature, so the conversation may go in that direction from time to time.
Like I said, if you love reading or are looking for some recommendations for your children or students, this is the channel for you.
