This week we take on a "heartwarming tale about the Great Depression" called Ida Early Comes Over the Mountain. The cover calls it a "Mountain Mary Poppins" but is that REALLY how it is?

Psychics, romance, bad boys, an evil plan... this series has it all! We take on another of LJ Smith's famous paranormal romance trilogies: Dark Visions!

It's Halloween at last! We're ending this spooky month with a movie centered around the wizarding school that started it all - The Worst Witch! This was a favorite childhood movie for both of us and started our life long crush of Tim Curry. Did YOU watch this movie?

What child of the 80s didn't have the crap scared out of them with this movie? But is it as scary as we remember? And what the heck actually happened at the end anyways? This week, we dive into this 1980 Disney classic film: The Watcher in the Woods!

It's Halloween and we're taking on the classic Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. This book is iconic! Everyone we knew was reading it in the 90s and we all have fond memories of it scaring the pants off of us. Are the stories as scary as we remember?

It's Halloween and we've returned to the world of Sweet Valley Twins with one of the Super Chillers! The Carnival Ghost was Allison's favorite of the Super Chillers, but will Emma like it as much as she liked Magic Christmas?

Emma has chosen this classic from Roald Dahl for this week's discussion! As the sequel, how does it stand up to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the story we know and love?

This week we take on the spooky world of Phantom Valley - specifically the 4th entry in the series: Stranger in the Mirror! There's time travel, bloody axes, pioneer life, spooky mirrors, and twin swapping hi-jinks. This book has it all!

Another entry in the Magic Shoppe series, this one stars a young boy who is unwittingly tasked with the raising of a dragon! Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, was far less exciting than the other Bruce Coville book we read, but it is NOT short on the feels.

Another camp book? MORE HORSES?! Somehow we always end up here! And did you know there were Punky Brewster books? We both watched this show as kids, but how does the book hold up?
