I found it very interesting how children turned to books during lockdown.  I wonder how much it has changed now we have returned to the new normal?  I always loved to get lost in the adventures of the Famous Five and Secret Seven when I was younger.  Dreaming about the summer holidays and the anticipated fun. 

So maybe if young people are struggling with the new normal,  we have had a few struggles in our house, and turning to books and writing was a good option.  We discuss characters and plots and just get lost in the story a conversation at a time.
