My favourite was T he Trouble With Charlie, which had a redheaded freckled girl on the cover, the eponymous Charlie, who has a crush on her brother’s friend. These books were contraband in our convent school, where there were strict rules on what you could or could not bring in, but we did anyway and then read them under our desks, thereby justifying the case for them being banned in the first place.Īpart from the fact that they were generally about teen romance. When I was in the eighth standard (grade in American parlance), my bestie Ayesha had a stash of Americana in novel form – the Sweet Valley and Sweet Dreams series – that she used to be super generous about lending.
