THE PAPER DOORWAY
I lost myself inside a book last night,
Then found myself in a galactic fight,
A light-year beyond the farthest star,
Driving a spaceship like a motorcar.
I fought giant spiders with eighteen feet.
As big adventures go, this one was neat.
Then the book fell shut while I was inside
And I escaped the things I can’t abide:
Doctors and dentist, lima beans and school,
Homework, neckties, piano lessons , rules.
Everything was glorious, oh, so fine,
Out beyond where the very last stars shine.
Giant spiders were in foaming rages.
When mother found me between the pages.
Oh, why did mother have to come and look
Where I was happiest -- inside my book?

The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell
This book looked intriguing but I was very disappointed. The author had a great story line but failed to follow through. I did not enjoy the unfinished sentences or hanging story lines. I felt the book was incomplete.
