Stacey and Charlotte catch a counterfeiter! This is one of the few books Emily remembers from her salad days, leading us to wonder why she did not become a counterfeiter.

LOW-KEY ALERT! This episode includes a spoiler about “The Good Place!” OK, where we were? Ah, yes. Mary Anne gets deep into sewing and needlework and starts a sewing club for kids. It’s hard to believe she has time for this given how much work she’s doing for poor Mrs. Towne. It almost seems like Moral OCD to Esme, so we talk about that! Emily talk…

At any rate, we…

Stacey falls in LUV with one Mr. Wesley Ellenburg, the Tom Cruisiest student teacher to ever grace SMS. Charlotte crushes on Bruce Cominsky and then gives him the brushoff but also? There’s a baby goat. And in case you’re unclear, she is CUTE. Esme discusses the psych literature on crushes (and says “fondle” too many times for anyone’s liking) and …

We are on the road with the Spier-Schafers! Sharon and Richard are not equipped and Esme tells us why. Emily wonders what this book (with clear Boston Tourism spon con) would be like if it was written now with, um, ANY acknowledgement of non-white people. And Anne had a whole pack of nuggets! It’s a 20 piece! Listen in and say a prayer for Marshall…

Have we mentioned lately that we think Claudia has ADHD? In this book we learn that she doesn’t have dyslexia, but Shea Rodowsky does. Of course, this is an opportunity for Esme to talk about validation and dialectics, Emily to talk about fictional and proposed “fashion czars/tsars,” and Anne to have a nugget fest, from Whoopee cushions to Jordan C…

We met Donny on Instagram and could tell immediately that he was the kind of *STAR* we needed to discuss SS9, “Starring the Baby-sitters Club!” We learn about Donny’s antics on Instagram, TikTok, and Elon Musk’s Twitter while we discuss just how racist and sexist “Peter Pan” is, how good theater is for teenagers (according to theater teachers: VERY…

Mal solves the “mystery” on page 9 and everyone ignores her. JANINE IS GETTING SOME. That’s the plot of this book. We discuss feminist theories about makeovers, good sister/bad sister, and explore some late 1992 trends and music. Did Esme cry in this book? You’ll have to listen to find out! Just kidding—of course she did. That’s not a mystery. At a…
