I got this book during the FIRST LINE GAME at the BookCrossing holiday party at authorauthor's house today.

The first line of this book is:
A boy with a parrot on his shoulders was walking along the railroad tracks.

This book has a good author. I just might give this book a chance! We'll see...

I started reading this story, but it's not grabbing me. I'll keep it travelling, I think.

I'm releasing this book for...
