Yes! Option 1 looks perfect to knock some of those books off my TBR shelf!"Yesterday's Gone"! yelled The Watchmaker's Daughter. "Gone, Baby, Gone" cackeld the Shadow Witch. She was Pure Evil with a Heart of Darkness as cold as Orchids and Stone. All the Little Children in The Underground City had heard Terrifying Tales of The Angel of Terror with Malevolent Intentions. Blindsided by The Taste of Fear and Panic, we thought our Paradise Lost forever.
"Poor Things you're Out of Time"! Whispered The Soulkeepers Silent Echo. The Invisible Man, who was Beyond Good and Evil, Rushed us along. "A Quest of Heroes ends Anywhere But Here", he insisted.
The Man Who Knew about Marking Time led us to Jacob's Room, The Last Safe Place in an Abandoned Haunted House on Green Lake near The City of Ember.
"I'm Moby-Dick or, The Whale, Son of Rosemary, The One That Got Away" he introduced himself, before he continued. "Here, we are Inside Evil, but I know the Gateway to Fourline."
"Utopia"? asked Peter and Wendy confused.
"Yes! Your Final Venture" he explained. Then he told us The Mystery of the Hidden Room and gave Pollyanna The Dead Key. Well, Not Quite Dead, but believed to be Extinct.
Suddenly, we heard Dark Screams: Volume Six "Punish the Sinners"! The witch and her Seven Sisters, Half-Made Girls or Little Women, really, had crossed The Waste Land but could not pass Underneath the Clouded Rainbow.
The Mysterious Stranger, with The Turn of the Screw, pushed aside A Perfect Canvas picturing The Bird Eater of Harmony Grove. There, Hidden between The Book of Dragons and The Book Of All-Power, we discovered The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; a Thread of Hope!
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms gave us Somebody's Luggage and Ticket No.9672. As he sang the Requiem's Song we heard The Last Call and had Three Seconds To Rush Off On A Comet.
Once Gone, leaving The Lost World behind, we traveled Eight Hundred Leagues On The Amazon winding through The Jungle.
After A Long December, many Different Seasons, Five Weeks in a Balloon and much Endurance, we were safely back in Amerika.
