Today, I’m thrilled to bring you a conversation with the one and only Johnnie Christmas! 📚✨

Johnnie is the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novelist behind Swim Team and Gamerville. In Swim Team, we meet Bree, a middle schooler navigating life in a new town. Though she’s initially afraid of swimming, Bree discovers her courage and hidden talent, diving into the world of competitive swimming and uncovering a story of community, resilience, and self-belief. 🌊

In Gamerville, Johnnie takes us on a thrilling adventure into a virtual reality game with high stakes, where the lines between the real world and the virtual one blur, challenging its young characters to think fast, act courageously, and work together to overcome obstacles. 🎮

In this episode, we’ll explore the creative process behind these incredible stories, the themes that resonate with middle-grade readers, and what’s next for Johnnie.
