New Reads November is over… and we’re back to our usual literary throwback programming! On Episode 123, Alli and her guest take a walk down reading memory lane for a discussion about George Selden’s The Cricket in Times Square, which was published in 1960 and won a Newbery Honor in 1961. The book is a celebration of friendship, New York City, and the American dream. Tune in to hear Alli and Melissa discuss their personal experiences with this book (hint: Alli had a childhood pet named after the main character), the power of the arts, the presidential fitness test, and more.
