Thanks to Maude Newton, I came across Fine Lines, a Friday feature “… in which we give a sentimental, sometimes-critical, far more wrinkled look at the children’s and YA books we loved in our youth.”
So far they’ve done:
All-Of-A-Kind Family: Where I Would Put Something Yiddish If I Thought You Goyishe Farshtinkiners Would Farshtey
Island Of The Blue Dolphins: I’m a Cormorant And I Don’t Care.
Little House In The Big Woods: “I Play With A Pig Bladder Like It’s A Balloon”
‘The Grounding Of Group 6’: Have Fun At School And Don’t Forget To Die

Smirking and smiling as I read these pieces. I adore All-of-a-Kind Family and the Duncan books.
