Welcome to the YA and Children's Book Podcast (for Adults)! Our show is hosted by two book enthusiasts: a writer (Sarah Hansen) and a teacher (Terri La Rue). Together, we are rereading and discussing the books that shaped us. If you’ve ever wondered which Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants character you are, why horse girls get so many books written about them, or how Stuart Little's human mother gave birth to a mouse, then this is the show for you. Join us as we relive childhood, one book at a time. New episodes every other week!

In our second episode, we discuss Lauren Myracle’s popular and controversial YA novel, ttyl. The novel was written entirely in instant messages (circa 2004), and its language and sexual content has made it one of the most banned books of the 2000s. Woo! But underneath all that controversy is an entertaining and innovative story about teen friendship. We talk about the dreaded return of low rise jeans, the differences between texting and IMing, and how to determine whether you are a Maddie, a Zoe, or an Angela.
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses grooming and revenge porn.
