In this episode of BookQuest, we’re balancing on the edge of high-stakes history and total social disaster. Whether you’re dodging bullets or embarrassing parents, the quest for survival is real!

On the Shelf This Week:



Sufiya Ahmed joins the show to discuss her gripping novel, Under Fire. We follow a young girl navigating friendship and identity during WWI, standing tall against prejudice as her community becomes a personal battlefield where every choice matters.


Katie Kirby also features with her hilariously chaotic new book, The Seriously Epic Holiday of Lottie Brooks. Join Lottie as she tries to survive a family trip packed with awkward crushes, diary-worthy disasters, and the struggle to keep her cool when everything goes spectacularly wrong.
