Remember when dating, dances, going steady, and soda shops were a staple of teenage life?
Those days were before my time, but I learned to long for them when I read my first teen soda shop romance: “Practically Seventeen” by Rosamund du Jardin.

Inspired by @HannahWardEdu, and her mission to get parents reading to their kids daily in 2026, we will be sharing a vintage, often out-of-print children’s book every day for the month of January (and maybe beyond)!
While often not available to buy new, used copies are relatively easy to find, and may be available on @internetarchive.
And if an out-of-print book becomes popular enough, maybe @HarperCollins , @penguinusa, @Scholastic, and other children’s book publishers will release a new printing of these unknown classics!

The “Choose Your Own Adventure” book series may just be the answer you’re looking for.
And our third book for January is the first one I ever read way back in the 1980s:
“Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey?” by Edward Packard.
