This episode is age appropriate for 9+. Izzy and Ashleigh chat about The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks, and Dork Diaries - Popstar. Both books tell the story of with girls coping with growing up and the changes they encounter at school, at home, and within themselves.

Episode 4:
A Christmas Special
20th December
2024
What books do you like to read and re-read at Christmas? Like a favourite Yuletide movie, sometimes certain books just feel "Christmassy" even if they're not about Christmas. In this episode, we chat about those books that make us want to get cosy, maybe grab a hot chocolate, and curl up to read.
Our main book is The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe; and then we have a quick chat about The Polar Express, and A Christmas Carol.
