Are they going to put their children in bubbles so they can only interact with a cultivated portion of the population. They want to control the uncontrollable. IMHO

And let's face it, how many teenage kids go into a library to read that type of thing? They're not going to accidentally pick up the wrong book get turned gay or anything.

If people are really worried about their kids being corrupted they'd be better off getting rid of their tv and internet devices.

Tsunami ghosts. They got swept away to a distant location and are just looking to go home.

Usually taxis save the last ride of the night for them.

Pick them up and then drop them off at a village or town that get swept away.

I've seen that book come up in an online discussion before. It's not meant for little kids but from what I remember it really wound some people up.

"Children digestive" sounds like some freaky Maria biscuit made from Soylent Green. It's people!
