E162: Moments, Mysteries & Friendship: HURRICANE HEIST by James Ponti

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with James Ponti about his newest middle grade series release: THE SHERLOCK SOCIETY: HURRICANE HEIST.In this middle grade mystery, a team of kids, along with their retired journalist grandfather, tackle their second case around a decades-old million dollar jewel heist. Yes, it’s a mystery, but at its heart, it’s a book about friendship that readers are sure to live. Come listen as we talk about the pieces of James that are in the setting, plot and even the characters, the funny story he has related to his childhood car and family vacation to a high-end hotel, the small moments that teach readers so much and the moods of life you’ll find on the pages.You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/09/01/moments-mysteries-friendship-hurricane-heist-by-james-ponti/Join me inside my Facebook community for bookish people!
