Bryan took the week off, because he hates rainbows. In his stead, Trudi Jaye visited the show as a guest co-host with Robert! Check out their take on Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell.
Park Sheridan is sitting on the school bus when he first meets Eleanor, the new girl. She's not just any old new sixteen-year-old though, Eleanor is .... quirky.
Red haired, stockily-built ("fat" according to Eleanor), wearing eclectic men's clothing ... and very self-conscious ... Eleanor is a perfect target for all the school bullies, in fact maybe everyone in The Flats.
Out of pity, Park - the nerdy Asian kid who no one touches - makes room for Eleanor to sit next to him, when everyone else on the bus makes it clear she's unwanted.Little does he realize how much that one action will change his life.
