1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 On this week's dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm, our guest is debut author Rab Ferguson. He's written a young adult climate change novel, Landfill Mountains, that blends all the coming-of-age and young love of YA with a bleak, futuristic landscape and eerie characters plucked straight from folktales. The result is an ode to the fragile beauty of our planet and the timeless art of oral storytelling. I first met Rab through the Big Kids Book Club Podcast, and today we have a great chat about storytelling and its role in his life and career, as well as what inspired his first book. We also swap some great book recommendations!&amp;nbsp; Don't miss the giveaway of one copy of Landfill Mountains on the Library Laura Podcast social media accounts thanks to Onwe Press.&amp;nbsp; Get in touch with Rab on his website and @rabtales on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.
