Here's a fun one: @runforsomething alum @RayReedMO won his primary against a much older challenger who was recruited into the race by a state-level version of AIPAC -- Ray was outspent but not out-organized, and ultimately won by 10 points.

As a leading YA author, Soman speaks at a lot of high schools, and he's seeing something different in today's kids.

Soman on why AOC may just be our first female POTUS.

First young girls were in the cross-hairs of social media targeting, with all their worst fears being manipulated to drive purchasing decisions. Now it's young boys' turn.

Don't follow your dreams. That's the advice you probably never knew you needed, but New York Times Bestselling Author and Filmmaker Soman Chainani swears by it. Watch the full episode of How Success Happens to learn more about following what you're good at — not just what you love: bit.ly/4s91icz

Author Soman Chainani has a hot take on Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.” “There's nothing about Ariel that's, to me, redeeming,” he told PBS News’ Amna Nawaz. As he got older, he recalls, he realized Disney logic "was often wrong, and that the hero would win in these movies without deserving to. And so I started to realize that I was right to root for the villains, because they actually deserved to win in a lot of stories that they lost." Chainani sat down with Nawaz for the latest episode of PBS News' podcast “Settle In,” where he discussed his new book, “Young World,” a political thriller about a teenager who becomes president of the United States, and why many young adults aren't reading.

If you’ve got a teenage boy in your life who is allergic to books… try this one on them. In the first few weeks, we’re seeing a lot of boys who’ve never read a full novel actually finishing

Kids have "lost the right to be young," says author Soman Chainani. "I feel myself almost like a preacher at the pulpit, being like, you have lost the most important right that is not in the Constitution," he said of his conversations with high school students. "They took that from you. I had it. All the adults around you have had it. All the adults in power had it. They got to be kids." Chainani's young adult novel series, "The School for Good & Evil," sold more than 4.5 million copies and became a popular Netflix movie. His latest book, "Young World," is a political thriller about a teenager who becomes president of the United States. He joined @IAmAmnaNawaz for the latest episode of PBS News' podcast, "Settle In." They discuss what has changed for young people and how to get them interested in both reading and the political process. Full episode: to.pbs.org/4tVP4EH

Popular YA author @SomanChainani says that Washington needs to take young people seriously. “It's up to older people to either do the Mamdani or Kirk track and get younger people involved,” he told @DashaBurns. “Or you're essentially creating a disaffected third party that will eventually come to power.” 🔗 politi.co/4tzYBRy

Looking forward to talking with Soman about this on @escapehatchpod in 2 weeks. I’m about a 3rd of the way thru the book and it’s both really fun and inspiring. We desperately need the energy and vision of young voters!
