Summary

One, two, three, four.. how will Molly handle her camp’s color war? Book five of the Molly series features another fictional island, frenemies, and a truly bizarre wartime Tripp to a woodsy summer camp. Proving that there’s no such thing as “too soon” at Camp Gowonagin, Molly and her friends recreate the D-Day beach landings to win a game. Molly wins, but much like the USA declaring victories around the world, at what cost? While Molly has to learn about swimming and friendly rivalry, we put this story in the broader context of life and death in camps during the 1940s.

0:00.0	Allison, I want to come to you today with a really serious question about World War II.
0:05.4	Oh, okay. I'm ready.
0:07.4	So just pretend you're Tom Hanks for something and just really drop down into that and think seriously about it. I will. What is the
0:14.0	greatest tragedy of World War II? Is it a Pearl Harbor, B, D day, or C
0:22.0	Molly Safs a day? I think at Hank's D day or C.

0:53.9	inaugural day so you know like I would say I was coming into this episode with a lot of
0:59.0	like positive energy and then you have to bring up once again you know like a really dark thing we took

1:28.6	Because we're Molly's and so we have to constantly check ourselves and what that means in light of new information.
1:36.7	And so kind of really figuring out who Molly is, particularly in Book 5, which I would say is, you you know somewhere like in Dante terms like it's
1:45.4	the infernal like it's yeah it's not good so then you know you kind of
1:49.9	lure me into a sports show because you like the sport and you loved the Michael Jordan
