23 February 2021 | Episode 82: Updating the Classics

Summary

New presenters Sam, Caroline, Charlie and Hannah offer some alternatives to recommend instead of the same old dependable children’s classics, with some of our favourite picks in different genres from the last 20 years. Plus, we each share a book that’s making us happy this month, and find time to address some of the most pressing questions in children’s literature: “were Goosebumps actually scary?” and “exactly how many Animorphs books were there?”.
