Virtual Maniac: Silly and Serious Poems for Kids

by Margriet Ruurs

Virtual Maniac is a book of poetry for every day and every reason. Margriet Ruurs' poem-stories describe familiar feelings, like those you have when you look at shapes in clouds or feel the fall. Readers meet funny characters like Bruce, the almost-always fearless dog; the boy who just can't stop playing video games; and silly Anna-Belle Lou, who makes her hair blue.
