Hey Scary Book People (that's what we call our AWESOME listeners)! Ready to dive into a chilly adventure? In today’s episode of Banned Camp, Jennifer and Dan explore Chapter 10 of "A Wrinkle in Time." From tessering dangers to icy receptions, Meg’s journey continues to unfold with suspense and a hint of the supernatural. But why does this chapter make some want to ban the book? Tune in as we peel back the layers of this frosty narrative.

Here’s a quick rundown of what happened:

  • Meg’s Tessering Ordeal: Meg wakes up feeling paralyzed and icy cold, struggling to communicate with her father and Calvin, who are trying to reassure and warm her up amidst mysterious and daunting circumstances.
  • Cosmic Reflections: The discussions veer into deep territory, touching on the nature of time, space, and personal limits. It’s not just about the physical journey but these characters' mental and emotional trials.
  • Mystical Encounters: They encounter strange, tentacled beings, adding an extra layer of eerie intrigue. Could these beings be friends or foes?

IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTE:

Season 6 of Banned Camp premieres on June 4th, and we've picked a fantastic book for this season. “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” by Benjamin Alire Sáenz.

It’s our first contemporary book. Publisher’s Weekly described it as a tender, honest exploration of identity. It explores friendship and sexuality through the experiences of two Mexican-American teenagers living in El Paso in the 1980s. Join us for season six!
