We are discussing The Great Brain (1967), written by John D. Fitzgerald. TW (and, I guess, spoiler alert?): this book contains religious bigotry and incredibly disrespectful behavior toward Native Americans. Furthermore, a child attempts to commit suicide in the final chapter.
We're gonna be frank with you, listeners: if you haven't read this book before, you might want to skip the episode. We'd understand.
Buy the book on Amazon, borrow it from your local library on Overdrive, or read the book summary on Wikipedia.
Background information: Do you miss watching "Little House on the Prairie?" We do, too. You can catch it on Amazon Prime or on Peacock! You're welcome. You can also learn more about Erin's REAL favorite podcast at http://babysittersclubclub.com/.
Our next book will be Harriet the Spy, by Louise Fitzhugh!
The episode 3: You want me to swear on WHAT, now? (John D. Fitzgerald's The Great Brain) from the podcast Are You There, God? It's Me, Podcast. has a duration of

#25: Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum (Betty Miles's Maudie and Me and the Dirty Book)
We have been so excited to share this book with you for so long. It's Maudie and Me and the Dirty Book (1980), written by an amazing author named Betty Miles. It touches on SO MANY of the issues that we are facing still, 40 years later, when it comes to children's literature. We hope you will enjoy our discussion and let us know your thoughts ([email protected]).
Other talking points: Below Deck (the OG for now, but Erin is catching up on spin-offs), first grade classroom management, and (of course) actual dirty books. Come join us!
Next time: The Doll's House (1947), by Rumer Godden. See you then!

24: Girl, You'll Be A... oh, wait, this is gross. (Natalie Babbitt's Tuck Everlasting)
Holy, cow! We're back! Can you believe it? We've missed you SO MUCH. Don't ask, it was rough.
Here's our latest, a discussion of Tuck Everlasting (1975), written by Natalie Babbitt. You guys think this one's going to be cute because Rory Gilmore was in the movie version... but it's not. We make up for it with a 3.5 minute recap of the entire "Twilight" saga you never knew you needed. We also touch on the topic of old and young (and immortal) horses of all sizes.
Our next episode will be about Maudie and Me and the Dirty Book (1980), a beautiful, fantastic (yet out of print) book by Betty Miles that might just make you wanna get up and vote in an election some time in the near future. Ahem.
See you soon!
