Episode Forty-Four: Young Adult

In This Episode:

The guys have their long-awaited discussion of Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl - then add in Laura Ruby's Printz-winning Bone Gap and compare the state of YA between now and 2000. They were kids in 2000, can you believe that? Well, maybe you can.

Other highlights:

* mirrors vs. windows
* Manic Pixie Dream Girls
* it's audiobook month!
* we went to another HMH party and it was wild
