Cold Comforts: Maryellen, The One and Only

Of all the questions put out into the world, some confound, others inspire, and a few just beg for follow up. But only Val Tripp would be bold enough to ask (through Maryellen Larkin): "how hard could it be
to cut bangs?"

Maryellen knows that nothing is fair in fourth grade, including the fallout from a quick and hasty morning haircut. We cover Maryellen's debut book, The One and Only, and her rapid-fire meet, lesson, and surprise plots. Though Maryellen proves to be a good student and critic of the Cold War, we question what has been learned about covering hard topics in the 30+ years of developing AG books. This episode goes deep into Maryellen's moment (the year 1954) and includes a discussion of current trends in reality television.
