    Ep. 85 -Fear Street Super Chiller #1: Party Summer

    This morning’s episode Anna and Austin review and discuss the 1991 YA Horror novel Fear Street Super Chiller #1: Party Summer by R.L. Stine. Welcome to Fear Street. Don’t listen to the stories they tell you about Fear Street. Wouldn’t you rather explore it yourself…and see if its dark terror and unexplained mysteries are true? You’re not afraid, are you? Time to Party Cari Taylor and her three friends look forward to a “party summer,” working at The Howling Wolf Inn, an old hotel on a tiny island off Cape Cod. But to their dismay, the hotel is completely deserted, and someone warns them to leave immediately. The mysterious owner, Simon Fear III, allows Cari and her friends to stay, giving them the run of the hotel. The four teenagers are thrilled…until they realize they have been put up in the “haunted wing”…until Simon's weird and frightening brother appears…until they hear a woman screaming, “No party—please, no party!”…until the walls and faucets begin to drip blood! When Simon Fear is murdered, Cari and her horrified friends want out. But they can’t escape! They’re trapped on the island. And that’s when the “party” begins.

    Ep. 83 - Wayside School is Falling Down

    This morning’s episode Anna and Austin review and discuss the 2001 Children’s Chapter book Wayside School is Falling Down and It was written by Louis Sachar. Similar to Sideways Stories from Wayside School, the chapters follow an episodic nature, following the various students and teachers at Wayside School, though a few adjustments are made to the formula. Some chapters, like "Pigtails," "Kathy and D.J.," and "Teeth" focus on multiple students to make way for story arcs for Allison and the new student Benjamin Nushmutt. Aside from Benjamin, new characters like Mr. Kidswatter are introduced, establishing new character dynamics. For the most part, though, the book largely features the same format.

    Ep. 81 - Diary of a Minecraft Zombie: A Scare of a Dare

    This morning’s episode Anna and Austin review and discuss the 2015 Children’s Chapter book Diary of a Minecraft Zombie: A Scare of a Dare which is Book #1 in the series. It was written by Zack Zombie or Herobrine Books. In the first book of this hilarious Minecraft adventure series, we get to read the diary of an actual 12 year old, Minecraft Zombie. Take a peek at what is really going on between the hollow eyes, and dead expression that we normally see when we face the dreaded Zombies of Minecraft. Are Zombies really different from us? You'll be surprised at what you discover. So, jump into this Minecraft adventure and find out!. This morning’s episode Anna and Austin review and discuss the 1978 children’s chapter book Sideways Stories from Wayside School which was voted on by our patrons. It was written by Louis Sachar. There was a terrible mistake - Wayside School was built with one classroom on top of another, thirty stories high (The builder said he was sorry.) Maybe that's why all kinds of funny things happened at Wayside-especially on the thirteenth floor.
