Summary
In this special weekend re-release, Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling author Ann Napolitano about Dear Edward, a transportative, haunting, and surprisingly uplifting novel about a twelve-year-old boy who is the sole survivor of a plane crash. It is now streaming as an Apple Tv+ series starring Connie Britton.
Zibby: "This book is a huge sensation. It's a December 2019 Book of the Month Club pick and a Read With Jenna Pick. Ann spent 8 years writing this riveting novel, and I got to talk to her about the beautiful storyline, the writing process, her family, and more."
