Here’s to You, Rachel Robinson
If you thought we’d made it through all of Judy Blume’s iconic kid lit, you thought wrong! As you’ll discover in Episode 231, Alli and her guests still have plenty of gems to enjoy, including Here’s to You, Rachel Robinson, the 1993 follow-up to Just As Long As We’re Together.
