Literary BFFs: Eliot Schrefer with David Levithan

Literary BFFs is a series hosted by David Gutkowski, aka Largehearted Boy, where authors are paired up with the people who know them all too well -- their best friends.

Bonobos: They’re just like us, except they’re apes. In Eliot Schrefer’s Endangered, a girl with no fondness for these clever monkeys is forced to travel to the Congo to a bonobo sanctuary when revolution breaks out. Girl, and apes, must escape into the jungle and rely on each other to survive.

Schrefer will be in conversation with his friend David Levithan, editor at Scholastic, and author of many books, most recently, Every Day. Levithan will grill Schrefer about his book, and perhaps also uncover some humiliating details only a best friend would know.
