Are You There, God? It's Me, Podcast.

Aug 30 2021 • 44 mins

Welcome to Episode 13, where we track down an out-of-print book from Moira's childhood... and then figure out WHY it's gone out-of-print. With Fifth Grade Secrets (1985), by Janet Adele Bloss, we introduce the implausibility scale (this one's a factor 10) and then discuss how easy it is for our protagonist to basically start a cult through..... health food?

Other topics for discussion: CleanTok and the confession of our own embarrassing fifth grade secrets. Come join us!

TW: While this book steers clear of body image and weight issues, there is a lot (A LOT) of stuff about food. If you have struggled with disordered eating, you may wish to skip this one.

In two weeks: SIXTH Grade Secrets, by Louis Sachar. See you then!
