Description

If you thought we’d made it through all of Judy Blume’s iconic kid lit, you thought wrong! As you’ll discover in Episode 231, Alli and her guests still have plenty of gems to enjoy, including Here’s to You, Rachel Robinson, the 1993 follow-up to Just As Long As We’re Together. Like all of Judy’s work for tweens, the novel takes seriously the seemingly silly concerns of tweens and teens: acne, frustration with siblings, being called “too sensitive,” and the pressures of perfectionism. Listen to learn more! TW: suicideKwana Jackson is a USA Today bestselling author, who also writes as K.M. Jackson. Her latest novel is Knot Again and is the second installment in her Real Men Knit series. Follow her on Instagram (@kwanawrites) and Twitter (@KwanaWrites).

Each week, freelance writer and lifelong bookworm Alli Hoff Kosik will challenge a guest to reread a literary throwback or to experience for the first time ever a book they may have missed as a kid. After that, they'll be asked to spill all the feels and all the opinions about that book on the air for your podcast-listening pleasure. Every Tuesday, you can find us breaking down an old school read from our tween and teen days on a new episode of the show. We'll cover everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Holes, Nancy Drew to Harry Potter. This time around, we're a little wiser (yay!), a lot older (ugh.), and of legal age to drink wine... so we'll have a lot to say. Happy Reading!
