The Girl Who Ate Books
"I will confess!" she screams
They strap her down and draw from her depths
Reels and reels unravel
Characters larger than Life
The Naughtiest Girl,
Harry and Hermoine
A dog named Shadow
August and Summer
Mathilda
Pippi Longstocking
...
This could go on sir
...
Hungry caterpillars
Children on bikes tracking down clues
Girls hiding in attics, writing diaries
braving bullets, fighting for rights
...
Now she's on about mystic lands sir
...
The Magic Faraway Tree
Forests with mystical pools
Mount Olympus
