Marissa Flaxbart, creator of the Sweet Valley Diaries podcast, joins us for a belated tribute to Francine Pascal, creator of the Sweet Valley High series of young adult novels (and a few fake bands, too).

We adore retellings of classic stories, and Darling by K. Ancrum, published in 2021, instantly captivated our hearts. This dark, modern reimagining of Peter Pan unfolds in the vibrant cityscape of Chicago, seen through the eyes of 17-year-old Wendy Darling. On her very first night in her new home, Wendy encounters a mysterious boy named Peter who whisks her away on an adventure beyond her wildest dreams. But as the night unravels, it becomes clear that Peter is far more dangerous than he appears. In this episode, we dive into the complexities of motherly roles, the representation of asexuality in YA literature, and the unsettling, darker themes woven into this novel. We also open up about our own experiences with relationships, drawing connections to track 28 of Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department, aptly titled “Peter.” As a special tribute, we celebrate Francine Pascal, the brilliant mind behind Sweet Valley High, reflecting on her lasting influence on the YA genre and our own lives. Content Warning: Darling explores heavy themes including grooming, predatory behavior, and murder, which we discuss in depth during the episode. Season 8 of The Tortured YA Lit Department is powered by angst, deep dives into Taylor Swift lyrics, and, of course, thought-provoking discussions. If you're here just for the book talk, Taylor Talk begins at 58:42.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted July 31 at 7:45 a.m. CT: Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard says Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has been assassinated in Tehran. No one immediately claimed responsibility but suspicion immediately fell on Israel. It has vowed to kill Haniyeh and other Hamas leaders over the group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel that sparked the war in Gaza. Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s swearing-in on Tuesday. Iran gave no details on how Haniyeh was killed, and the Guard said the attack was under investigation. The top Hamas leader in Gaza is Yahya Sinwar, who masterminded the Oct. 7 attack. BEIRUT (AP) — Israel has carried out a rare strike on Beirut, which it said killed a top Hezbollah commander who was allegedly behind a weekend rocket attack that killed 12 young people in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. The strike in the Lebanese capital killed at least one woman and two children and wounded dozens of people. Hezbollah did not immediately confirm the commander’s death.  WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris appears to have energized Democrats in the early days of her candidacy, with the surge in warm feelings extending across multiple groups, including some key Democratic constituencies that had been tepid about President Joe Biden. That's according to a new poll. About 8 in 10 Democrats say they would be very or somewhat satisfied if Harris became the Democratic nominee for president. The survey from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research was conducted after Biden withdrew from the race.  AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A floating barrier in the Rio Grande meant to discourage migrants from trying to cross from Mexico into Texas can stay for now, a full federal appeals court has ruled.  A “side hustle” can be one way to try out a new business idea before taking a full-fledged jump. Nearly 1 in 3 Americans earn money on the side in addition to working full time, a Bankrate survey found.  Decades ago, the standard transmission was a manual, while that newfangled automatic was optional. In today’s vehicles, automatic transmissions help a vehicle get better fuel economy and acceleration than traditional manual transmissions. Many performance cars don’t even come with a manual transmission anymore. But there’s still a level of satisfaction you get when driving a vehicle with a manual and shifting your own gears.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the Margo is SO MUCH MORE FRIGHTFUL. It's New Year's Eve, and what better way to celebrate than by being gutted by your leather-jacketed Evil Twins? The @super_chillers are prancing through the east coast snow all the way back to Sweet Valley, CA, for your dump-of-the-month: Francine Pascal's RETURN OF THE EVIL TWIN (1995), the follow-up super-shocker to last year's Christmas horrordays celebration, THE EVIL TWIN! We know what you're thinking: "Listening to a podcast on New Year's Eve? That's perverse!" But consider: four identical twins, menacing bedspread eyelets, overflowing glasses of peach tea, and all the foot long hot dogs you can upchuck onto the plush pink carpet over at the Sweet Valley Inn. May the holly jolly cemetery winds fill you with strength.

Dear Miss Manners:I have fallen in love with a girl who is not my girlfriend. I was very conflicted about this, but once I held her in my arms, I knew that she was the one for me. However, the power of my feelings may or may not have caused me to go and crash my airplane with my girlfriend in it. My arms ache for my true love, but my girlfriend isn't walking now, and no amount of cry-screaming into her neck is helping her feel better. What should I do?Yours truly,George WarrenSweet Valley, CaliforniaPlease respond to: aytgpodcast@gmail.comPS: This book (Sweet Valley High #20: Crash Landing!, by Francine Pascal [1985]) talks about women's eating and weight in a way that is double-plus-not okay. Consequently, your podcasters are giving this episode a trigger warning. PPS: Other topics for discussion: The Book It! campaign, My Favorite Murder podcasts (especially the minisodes), the Even the Rich podcast, and Double Love for all things Sweet Valley High. We love a podcast with a strong female team!Please like and subscribe! Next week: Freaky Friday (1972), by Mary Rodgers.

Guys, Beezus & Ramona (1955), by Beverly Cleary, is a NATIONAL TREASURE. However, if you're feeling a little cynical, reading this book might raise some questions you had never considered before. Questions like... What would you do if 15 preschoolers (and one baby) just showed up, unannounced, at your door? Why is baking a cake so hard for Mrs. Quimby? And when did the public library stop demanding to know the occupations of all of its card-carriers' fathers? It really does make you stop and think.Enjoy what you're hearing?
