The 10 Minute Book Club is hosted by best-selling author and award winning bookseller Gráinne O'Brien & author Lucas Maxwell. In ten minutes or less, we review children's books to help busy kids and adults find stories young readers will love. With 25 years of combined experience helping children connect to books, and as children's book authors ourselves, we're passionate about helping kids discover the books that will shape them and stay with them for the rest of their lives. And we're doing it fast, because that's all the time we've got.
