Andrea Bartz returns for round THREE on my book podcast today, this time for a conversation about the second book in the classic Boxcar Children series, SURPRISE ISLAND. The thing that might surprise you the *most* (sadly) is that this story of your Boxcar pals is wayyyy quieter than you probably remember. Listen at the link in my bio!

I‘m starting out my #reversereadathon picks with a childhood favourite, Surprise Island from the Boxcar Children‘s series. It‘s probably been at least 15 years since I last read this, but in my head it is a quintessentially summer story which seemed appropriate for this #readathon. As with many book aimed at early elementary readers, it‘s got lots of corny and unbelievable plot points, but still an enjoyable nostalgia read for me!

Hey @Hooked_on_books ! Your package came today! Thank you 😊. Should I open it for Owl Post or wait for Christmas? 🎄I am capable of waiting, I promise 🤣.

Hooked_on_books You can open it. The gifts are wrapped, the owl post is not. Enjoy! 7y
Soubhiville Yay! Thanks Holly! 7y
Soubhiville @Hooked_on_books your things are wrapped too, except for something for your pups 😊 7y

I've been trying to find a favorite book I read in elementary school, with only a vague plot to remember it by, for years. Browsing the children's section of the library with my daughter this morning, I found it! It may not live up to my expectations but am thrilled to be reading it today. #stackedup @Liberty
