30 Is the New 13

Oh, my sweet lord... My friend C. just clued me in to 30 Is the New 13. Sada writes, "I am blogging my way through a suitcase full of stories—ahem, chapter books—and assorted other embarrassing relics from my childhood."

Sada's first subject for retrospective analysis is That's What Friends Are For, about the adventures of an exquisitely cool nine-year-old named Liz Craw. It's a thing of beauty. I'm crying, it's so beautiful.

(I have my own box of incriminating literary material from my youth, but at this time I don't quite have the guts to put it out for the whole world to see. Maybe some other day...)
