Just met the Scarecrow and am now humming If I Only I Had A Brain.

I, of course, also expected a crazy little woman to twirl thrice on her heel and poof. Very normal.

TUPO SPOTED!
PAG ONEHUNDREDFOURTYFOIR!

The song James sings is… interesting to say the least. The lyrics specifically.

I like the references to other books of his.

“Then Miss Spider’s large black murderous-looking head, which to a stranger was probably the most terrifying of all….”

Not to be that guy, but: they’re currently in New York City, and the book has this to say: “Bit he never finished his sentence. For suddenly . . . *WOOOSH!* . . . and they looked up and saw a huge four-engined plane come shooting out of a nearby cloud and go whizzing past them not more thab twenty feet over their heads.”

I can’t believe I never heard about the Cloud Men until I actually read the book!

“A great round ball as big as a house had been sighted hovering high up in the sky over the very centre of Manhattan, and the cry had gone up that it was an enormous bomb sent over by another country to blow the whole city to smithereens.”
It also states that the President of the United States of America eats a plate of British cereal every morning? I don’t believe it!

How very strange

Completely different mood compared to my last update.
“Soon everyone was standing, clapping the Baptist preacher from the United States of America.”

“Coretta rushed into the bedroom. She and Martin sat side by side on the bed, listening to the awful news that the president was dead. Finally, Martin said very quietly, ‘this is going to happen to me too.’”

“Then came the worst tragedy of all. It was November 22, 1963. Martin was in the upstairs bedroom, packing to go off on a trip. The television was on in the background. Suddenly an emergency news bulletin interrupted the program. For a few stunned seconds Martin just stared at the screen. Then ‘Corrie!’ he shouted. ‘President Kennedy has just been killed!’”

I’m wondering how Carter can be so stupid, how Ethan can be so flip-floppy (so to speak), and how Martin’s gonna agree to keep the secret. Can’t wait to finish soon!

Note: The music was the Skylanders Giants Main Theme

The plot twist! I was getting distracted while reading this chapter, so I put on some music. It was perfect for the cheese sequence. And just as the Zippy Airport Shuttle came across the house, the music ended. It was so perfect. I i’m in so much shock and that’s where I’m leaving off for tonight.

He treated a sloth as if it were a Dynamax Rayquaza.

Starting to like Carter!

I remembered Carter’s name! Woo! Also, I suspected the rotten kid plotline to go somewhere, but I didn’t know where. Seems obvious now that I think of it!

I knew the Zippy Airport Service was up to something, and now I know.

I have reached the mysterious page 108. Something weird is going on. Why is chapter 17 on an odd numbered page?

To be honest, I didn’t like this character before, and while he’s starting to grow on me, and I know it’s true to his character, but the internet thing is really dragging him down for me.
