In the Jaws of the Merman, with Adam Gidwitz Liz Gotauco 2025-09-19 | Have you ever been a children's librarian who read a book in 2010 that was seemingly written for kid-you, and then later you wrote an adult version of that book and the author of kid-you's book read it, and they reached out to you because they love the book, and even though that author is way-way-way more accomplished than you are, you somehow convinced them to adapt a fairy tale for your channel, and suddenly this person who literally produced the Netflix series of their own children's book is narrating a story for you to "produce," i.e. flail around your living room with a TikTok mustache filter on, puppeting a cat bed?Just me?Thank you so much to Adam Gidwitz for all his support for FUFT and for joining my silly corner of the internet!
