Episode 86 - The Secret of Moon Lake by Sofia Nova (Gloria Tesch) *Patron’s Choice*

<p>Today's book was read at the behest of our patron Ciaran. Thanks so much for supporting the show, Ciaran!

Free from her father's direct influence, she has written a new book outside of the world of Maradonia (though with some noticeable carry-over, from mermaids to boys who  just love fishing to the art work). While <em>The Secret of Moon Lake</em> isn't something we'd recommend in its current state, this book shows significant improvement over the Maradonia saga. With some re-writes and good editing, this <em>could</em> sit comfortably in the Goosebumps pantheon.</p> <p><em>Content Warning: In addition to our usual barnyard language, this episode contains a brief discussion of pedophilia as well as sirens and sounds of arrest at the very beginning.</em></p>
