...Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, imagined that being a kid was a fun-filled time, with little responsibility or worry, where the only requirement was to enjoy yourself and to kill pirates and frolic with mermaids. If he were actually a kid, however, he would have realized how unpleasant it is. In reality, kids have little personal freedom and even less privacy. Their lives are constantly regulated by their parents in the form of curfews and dress codes and scrutinized by their peers--ew, where did you like, dig up that outfit?

Later in the book, "Of Course We Prayed" presents a similar commentary, as Norfleet uses praying mantises as a clever...

Executive producer Greg Bonann says no decisions have yet been finalized as to where the show will drop anchor next season.
