Are You There, God? It's Me, Podcast.

If you were going through a zombie apocalypse, which fictional character would you want by your side? That's the question we attack before turning to this week's inordinately freaky book, Freaky Friday (1972), by Mary Rodgers. If there's one thing this book makes ABSOLUTELY clear, it's that there is a time and a place for wearing a full face of evening makeup and a velvet pantsuit. Unfortunately, our main character - the worst teenager in the whole world - has no idea when or where that time and place might be.

In two weeks: Just As Long As We're Together, by the incomparable Judy Blume.

Guys, Beezus & Ramona (1955), by Beverly Cleary, is a NATIONAL TREASURE. However, if you're feeling a little cynical, reading this book might raise some questions you had never considered before.
Questions like... What would you do if 15 preschoolers (and one baby) just showed up, unannounced, at your door? Why is baking a cake so hard for Mrs. Quimby? And when did the public library stop demanding to know the occupations of all of its card-carriers' fathers? It really does make you stop and think.

Did you guys know that Gertrude Chandler Warner wrote The Boxcar Children in 1925.... and then wrote it all over again in 1942? We didn't, either. At least, not until we got together to record this podcast. Hilarious hijinks ensue between your two awesome lady podcasters! By golly, they do!

Here it is: the first book in this podcast where the main character is NOT in danger of suffering significant physical or mental anguish! It's Anastasia Krupnik (1979), by Lois Lowry. It's a delightful book, but don't worry - we still find plenty of things to joke about. Namely: baby names, bullet journals, and the fascinating story of one VERY minor character named Robert Giannini. Oh, Robert. How we wish we could get to know you better.

Dear Miss Manners:
I have fallen in love with a girl who is not my girlfriend. I was very conflicted about this, but once I held her in my arms, I knew that she was the one for me. However, the power of my feelings may or may not have caused me to go and crash my airplane with my girlfriend in it. My arms ache for my true love, but my girlfriend isn't walking now, and no amount of cry-screaming into her neck is helping her feel better. What should I do?
Yours truly,
George Warren
Sweet Valley, California

PS: This book (Sweet Valley High #20: Crash Landing!, by Francine Pascal [1985]) talks about women's eating and weight in a way that is double-plus-not okay. Consequently, your podcasters are giving this episode a trigger warning.
PPS: Other topics for discussion: The Book It! campaign, My Favorite Murder podcasts (especially the minisodes), the Even the Rich podcast, and Double Love for all things Sweet Valley High. We love a podcast with a strong female team!
