Rec | PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH! WHIMSICAL AND BRILLIANTLY CLEVER

of this one series but I remember reading it as a middle schooler in the early-00's and it was about a group of children with supernatural abilities. one girl was telepathic and listened to metal to drown out peoples thoughts, and there were some dark creatures that caused magnetic disturbances (paperclips made a big appearance) and now that I've written it out it sounds quite a bit like stranger things. but also, Redwall Captain Underpants Animorphs Incarnations of Immortality (which was v much not age appropriate mom what were you thinking) The Wheel of Time series The Dark Tower series

AMERICAN GIRL, TINTIN

Yes to magic tree house!!! I wanted that trunk of clothes so bad. I was one that read the American girl books but never had a doll, and no I won't carry that bitterness to my grave. Felicity is my problematic fav. Tintin also falls in that category. Guess I loved adventure stories! As an older child, it was Ella enchanted, holes, chasing Redbird, and Harry Potter (rip)

worth the awkward grow out stage many times over

Shaving your head

Not in a mentally ill way but in a way that’s refreshing like the New Year or a tall glass of ice water. Grow your hair out long then just fuckin shave it all off. Let go
