MALTSHOP BOOKS & MALTSHOPS IN THE MEDIA
Episode 13 of Season 2 is another special episode! In this one, Susan shares her love for maltshop books--Y/A books written primarily in the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's, which feature teens dealing with family or love issues. These books, written by wonderful women writers, helped us grow up by showing us how these characters dealt with their problems and learned from them. No addictions, car crashes or teenage pregnancies in these books--just good, clean fun, lots of laughter and wonderful stories!
Some of Susan's favorites, discussed in this episode, include the Tobey & Midge Heydon series by Rosamund du Jardin (my favorite is PRACTICALLY SEVENTEEN), the Campbell family books by Janet Lambert, BLUEBERRY SUMMER and THE FABULOUS YEAR by Elisabeth Ogilvie, a great Maine writer, and THREE LOVES HAS SANDY by Amelia Elizabeth Walden, as well as Mary Stolz's THE SEAGULLS WOKE ME. I loved them and I still read them--many on Kindle today, thankfully!
We also discuss the marvelous work of Robbie Branscum, a brilliant Y/A author who published 23 books in her lifetime, all set in the back hills of her Arkansas childhood. She was the best 'natural' writer I ever knew and a dear friend. Her best-known books are ME AND JIM LUKE and THE MURDER OF HOUND DOG BATES, for which she won an Edgar Award (a prestigious literary prize) for Best Juvenile Mystery.
To complement our maltshop book segment, we then discuss movies and TV shows with important maltshop scenes, which probably include some of YOUR favorite movies, too!
