This week, we take on a summer reading classic and Newbery Award winning book - Blue Willow by Doris Gates. This book is quite different from the books we've read so far on the podcast. It's a historical fiction account of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Emma remembers reading this in school, but does how does she feel about it as an adult?
