Lost childhood tales
Have you ever wondered how many precious stories from our childhood are simply forgotten? Imagine this: Two siblings, a boy and a girl, are sent to live with their grandmother in the American Midwest before World War II. Life is tough, but they learn real skills—making soap, doing laundry, and even stumble upon Abraham Lincoln’s hat in the attic! But here’s the twist: when the war starts, the boy joins the army, leaving his sister and their old life behind. As his train passes their small town, he waves goodbye, not knowing if he’ll ever return.
Why do we forget these books? Is it because publishers only push bestsellers, or do schools just not care about the stories that shaped us? Maybe there’s a whole industry conspiracy to erase these gems so they can sell us new ones. Or maybe it’s just the march of time. Either way, isn’t it sad that these stories—our stories—are lost? What forgotten book from your childhood still haunts you? Share your memories below!
