Can you be nostalgic about a book that wasn't around when you were a young reader?

[Cait]

Claribel A. Ortega's 2020 debut, Ghost Squad, is one of the picks for this weekend's Young At Heart Cannon Book Club. CoffeeShopReader liked it but felt the frustration of an adult reading a middle grade book. AndtheIToldYouSos loved it and thought it firmly in the KidLit tradition of kids facing scary adult problems and saving the day. "Ghost Squad may be built around loss, but it's really a celebration of joy." Join Cannonball Read on Friday and Saturday to talk about nostalgia and reading

I think you can appreciate a book set/from "now" in a way the targeted audience can't necessarily appreciate. You see the "flaws" and o go at it from the experiences. You know "yup that will work" or "who are they kidding? I've a bridge in Brooklyn for ya!" But at the same time appreciate the innocence of it, too.
