A comment that vanished into the ether. Maybe it's a sign..<br />Anyway, very hurriedly, your articulate description for that book has ignited my curiosity. For some strange reason, you've made me recall a book we had to read in grade ten named, "The Chrysalids".<br />Take care and have a fun time with bringing further awareness of the alphabet. And gosh, Lee has declared me, "The anti-A to Z Challenge spokesman."
