Episode 79 | Book Report — The Face on the Milk Carton

Identity crises, lactose intolerance, and the Hare Krishna… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids in the back-to-school spirit for a good old fashioned mingling of history lesson and book report where they’ll investigate a well-meaning, if dark phenomenon that swept the country in the ‘80s – milk carton kids – via a controversial young adult novel born from it by Caroline B. Cooney. They’ll bust some myths, pay homage to the devastating realities, and get to the haunting core of the novel… what if the face staring back at you from the breakfast table was your own?
