I wrote it so automatically it must be a 5 star book. No but this book is just a compliation of storys kids and I wrote back in 2005. My story was in this and it was simply just a jibble jabble of ideas we all had. It's not the best book but it's definetly without a doubt a special one.

Definitely some unqualified brilliance, definitely some bald-faced filler, definitely an unqualified copy-editor. Great concept, better cause.
