I'm enjoying the Snowman, Alondra but once again I'm starting to have too many books on the go. Trying to finish another so I can get back to it.

Here's a story for you. When I was in Grade 1 in 1960, we lived in military housing in Quebec. Our house backed onto a bit of a forest. Every summer, the base would send this truck around the edge of the woods and it had a sprayer, I'm sure it was DDT to keep the bugs down, and as it drove by the houses, all of us kids used to run around in and out of the smoke.. (maybe it was just smoke, but I tend to doubt it.. Glad my kids never experienced it.
