Hook of a Book
16-year-old Ellie Mano hasn't stopped reading since she picked up her first chapter book at the age of 5. In 2021, she decided to share her love of reading with other kids through a podcast, and lo and behold, this show was born! Each week, Ellie reviews a book she's enjoyed -- from high-stakes fantasy stories to edge-of-your-seat thrillers. The Hook of a Book podcast has gained national recognition for promoting books for kids and teens. Listen to the show to hear fun book reviews, interviews, and more!
