I was a late bloomer when it came to reading. All I know is that I couldn’t read one winter, and then BAM! It clicked, and I was off! Soon my favorite time of the school year would be the Scholastic Fair. From the smelly stickers to the excellent pencil grips to the mysterious books, it was a reader’s smorgasbord!
Sometime between 86-88, I picked up the Growing Pains book. I don’t recall much other than I owned it. I did watch a lot of television back then. I was a big fan of TV shows such as Family Ties, Silverspoon, and even Different Strokes. But I guess I was a BIG FAN of Growing Pains. Anyway. in a fit of nostalgia, I went onto eBay and ordered replacements. My inner 9-year-old is pleased.
