We are back to our "summer" series, and determined to make it through! As we continue our Beverly Cleary books, we are reading through some of the books featuring Ramona. Don't let the first book turn you off, this series is much more relatable than we expected!

We are kicking off our Summer with the first four books of Henry Huggins by Beverly Cleary! These books were originally published in the 1950s, but are still very relatable today. And they feature a dog with a happy ending!
We finish off our discussion of Holes by Louis Sachar, and hopefully we get to all of major details. If not, let us know if we missed anything. And make sure to give the movie a watch as well if you've never seen it, it's a great companion to the book.

For May we read Holes by Louis Sachar, and it fits the weather we have going into summer! We were joined by Casey again, and since we had a lot to talk about this discussion got split into two episodes. So if you think we may have missed something, don't worry, we should get to it in part 2!

We are talking about a specific type of book this episode, though we only read one the many in the series. We are skipping pages and trying out multiple endings in the Choose Your Own Adventure genre through War With the Mutant Spider Ants by Edward Packard. Note: No co-hosts or spiders were harmed in this episode.
