<p>It's unclear whose idea it was to read this particular book, but Maya and her pals Ana (a writer, and also a Stephen King first-timer!) and Duncan (a normally reasonable person who unforgivably quit The Dark Tower halfway through) read it, and now you have the chance to learn a lot about everything from baseball to shit weasels. Plus, as it turns out, this story is much more than a coming-of-age story about a little girl lost in the woods... or is it?&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sidenote: duh, tragic endings, how could I forget about Running Man!!! Let me know if you can think of any other good ones! You can always email me or send in a voice message at anchor.fm/derry-connection.</p>
