Childproof: Rebellion 1776

Gwenna Laithland and Tori Phantom
About this episode

It’s finally here. The announcement we’ve been teasing. The news we’ve been itching to share. The thing we’ve been working on for months. Two brand new podcasts from the Pleasant Phantom Network: Founded by Tori Phantom and Bibliophage from Gwenna Laithland. To introduce you to both ideas, this episode of Childproof is basically a three-for-one special as we examine Rebellion 1776 by Laurie Halse Anderson, a historical fiction book set in 1776 Boston. We’ll tackle if pre-reading a book for your kid is censorship. We’ll tackle the history. We’ll tackle the narrative.
