Kid 1 just asked if I remember watching The Wizard of Oz when it came out as a kid (and yes, she meant the original 1939 version). So if anyone is wondering if I feel old today, the answer is yes.

If your middle schooler is into physics he may also enjoy @danielwhiteson.bsky.social 's books "Do Aliens Speak Physics?: And Other Questions about Science and the Nature of Reality", "We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe", and "Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe"

I've been a Mary Roach fan girl since her book Stiff came out 20+ years ago, and it makes me so darn happy to see our books recommended together. <3

Thanks!
