Welcome back to Hello Fellow Readers! This week's episode is special because it's a character analysis of Junie B. Jones. As an adult, I re-read some of the books in the series reigniting my interest and intrigue about Junie B. Jones within mainstream children's books. I explore some of the commentary and parts of the stories written by Barbara Park and illustrated by Denise Brunkus.

I promise the audio gets better after 1:24!
