Voice is one of those writing terms that teachers have a hard time explaining--and students have difficulty grasping. Talk to 100 people, and you'll get 100 definitions of voice! In this episode, we're making brownies in honor of one of our favorite chapter books, "Maybelle in the Soup."

Maybelle is a cockroach who gets into a lot of trouble due to her curiosity and love of food. Maybelle happens to like chocolate, so we baked brownies while we talked about creating "voice" in our writing.
