The library is a dangerous place to do research, so many distractions.
Fish: *Studies like a studious student*
Books: We need you, we want you, take us with you!
Fish: No, no, I cannot!
Books: But we're free.
Fish: Well you can't argue with... No, I've read all of you already. I am good, I can resist, I will not succumb!
Books: Awwww.
The Grounding of Group 6: Excuse me, um, Fish, you've never read me...
Fish: You poor thing! I never meant to neglect you so horribly.
I can't resist the pitfalls of such powerful temptation, but I can delay it, checking out my prized finds and saving them for later.
Julian F. Thomson's The Grounding of Group 6 is about a class at a school for young delinquents, a last chance school, where parents send their children to shape up, or if necessary send them to be disposed of. The five students who are slated to be killed, and their "teacher", the man intended to do the killing, head off into the woods for orienteering, but when he gets to know the kids, and he discovers he's to disappear too, their teacher can't go through with it, and they go on the run.
( It helps to think of them as cars... Sometimes a person gets a lemon, even if the name is Cadillac or Rolls... It simply can't be fixed. )
From now on, this book will be added to the pile of books I hold up and wave wildly whenever someone says I read nothing but Fantasy. At least it's Young Adult.
