Unlike children today, we lacked sophisticated video games and cellphones to keep us occupied. Rather, we had novels, and everyone enjoyed the Miss Nelson series the most among them. Turning the pages with great anticipation, we hoped to at last catch a sight of the elusive Viola Swamp. For young readers, the graphics were more than just images; they were doors to imagination that spurred many ideas and debates. The stories themselves were ingrained in our shared childhood experience, imparting insightful lessons about gratitude and consequences in forms still relevant today. Each each page flip, the shared gasps when Miss Nelson vanished, and the knowing smiles when Viola Swamp showed up generated memories that modern digital entertainment sometimes finds difficult to reproduce. Of course, who would overlook those fantastic drawings? Everything about it resembled a hug but in the shape of a book. When you can still memorise the whole "Miss Nelson is Missing" book by heart to this very day, you know you're a true 90s kid and it's fantastic every time.
