ReLiterated

Kids want nothing more than to do whatever they want. But what happens when there's absolutely no adults around to tell them they can't, hampering their fun? Andy, Harold, and Josh discuss Sir William Golding's story of a group of schoolboys who get stranded on an island with total freedom to do whatever they want. But when a society built on unenforceable rules is cast aside, can cooler heads prevail to control the situation or will harsh circumstances lead to harsher, inhumane consequences? It's the final book of our chapter on tales of survival, and it's a widely esteemed classic, which makes for an instant classic episode of Reliterated you won't want to miss!

Special thanks to Janelle for finding our conch sound effect.

In the game Animal Crossing New Horizons, you build yourself a home on an island, collect resources, catch fish, befriend your animal neighbors, and spend ridiculous amounts of free time crafting items. So Island of the Blue Dolphins is basically the story of that game in a real world setting. Karana does all these things and more, logging 18 years of play time as she survives alone on the island that is her ancestral home as she waits to be picked up to be reunited with her people. Andy, Harold, and Josh are here to talk about it as we wonder just what abalone tastes like?

Every detective begins somewhere. For the Alden kids, it begins with a tale of survival for like a week in a boxcar they find near a town while on the run from a mean old man they don't want taking custody of them. How this transitions to a series of mystery-solving youths I don't know, but for now let's survive on the lam with the Boxcar Children!

We begin our survival-themed chapter with a survival story that's way more realistic than My Side of the Mountain. Imagine, if you will, a 13 year old boy thrust into a wilderness survival situation without the assistance and encyclopedic knowledge of nature and access to civilization that Sam Gribley had, and you have Brian Robeson. If you want to get those references, go listen to episode 12 of our podcast and then enjoy this one!

All that and a couple important announcements on this season 3 premiere of Reliterated!

It's been ice to be able to stay frosty with some cool wintry tales to chill out with in this chapter! Snowflakes Andy, Harold, and Josh recap the books that made us shiver, freeze in our tracks, or left us in the cold. The number of laughs you'll get this week is not below zero, so be sure to give this episode a download... I frigiDARE you! (Okay, that last one was a pretty big stretch, I'll admit.)

You and your friend Carlos are headed to Nepal to investigate yeti sightings, and oh man are things about to get weird. What secrets do the Himalayas hold? Oh, and watch The Princess Bride if you haven't already. Not really relevant to this week's story. Just do it please.

This episode we try to enjoy this tale of a magical land of fauns, gnomes, talking animals, and a wintry curse, but instead we choose to rant about Christianity, exaggerate scene setting, ridicule belief in ghosts, and trash talk Republicans, and then recast the story with Arnold Schwarzenegger roles. So your pretty standard Reliterated episode, really.

Andy, Harold, Josh, and Harold's dad's bird travel back in time with Jack and Annie Smith to Christmas 1776 in order to steal someone's mail to save Camelot. They also witness the fateful night the Continental Army crossed the Delaware River to rough up some Hessians and inspire one of the most famous pieces of Americana painted by a German.

Jaclyn is the new girl in town, and the town is an Arctic village in the middle of nowhere with an identical creepy-looking snowman in every yard to, uh, pay tribute to the giant evil snowman who lurks on the mountain top? Andy is haunted by the comma in the title, Harold takes longer to summarize the book than it takes to read it, and Josh does the M. Night Twist. References to Frozen are kept to an absolute minimum.
