I’m a bookish nerd on a mission. I’m rereading the books of my ‘90s childhood: The Baby-Sitters Club, Goosebumps, and Fear Street, and writing a review and summary, so you don't have to read them yourself. I’m Amy A. Cowan and this is Rereading My Childhood - The Podcast. Join me as I read about surprisingly organized middle school clubs, pranks that end in murder, and goo. Lots and lots of goo.
This week’s book summary and review features Ann M. Martin's The Baby-Sitters Club #29: Mallory and the Mystery Diary , in which I finally upload an episode, Mallory cures a child's reading disability, and Dawn, Kristy, and Mallory make questionable clothing choices.
