      It’s hard to find appropriate reading material for this age group – especially in the humorous vein.

      This is right up either of my twin teens’ alleys per se. They thoroughly enjoy creating and delving into all aspects of this art form. They wanted to go into drama during high school, but we are still in distance learning in our area due to COVID.
