Heidi Scovel admits that she isn’t a read-aloud superstar. Reading aloud can be hard to fit in when you’re a busy mother of four! But she does know how to choose great books and has had a lot of success starting a book club for her kids called the Book Detectives.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • her kids’ favorite books
  • how she developed her taste for the best literature
  • and the ins and outs of her successful Book Detectives group

You’re going to love her. :)
