Status Updates From The Lost Spectacular

“…the fountain pen was the beginning of a story. You couldn’t be a child bibliophile and not know a story when it was at your door, no matter if you were squarely out of the fiction game. No one could say with a straight face that this wasn’t a third chapter set up.”

It feels like Alice in Wonderland, Marry Poppins curious and curiouser - immersive world building and whimsical writing - lots of book lore meta - childhood whimsy

Cute but confusing flow
