Anyway, there is one thing that day taught me and it’s that it sucks when field trips overlap during your lunch hour and the dining hall is serving something other than pasta. I also learned the importance of observation.

Good sci-fi is sometimes hard to find. So is the children's book The Search for WondLa worth anyone's time? Find out here: They Are Unlike Any Others I Have Encountered in All My Travels.
