This. Interesting stories of Canadian History for children seem to not exist.

That's because Canadian History doesn't really exist.

It's doing irreparable damage to the Canadian psyche to keep insisting this.

That one and Holes. I did however love that comedy series about the school where all kinds of crazy shit happens. That was in like 2nd grade though and I can't remember the name of it.

Personally, I loved Holes. I tend not to like books that I was forced to read, though.

Same. I was forced to read holes. The only books I enjoyed in elementary were the ones I bought out of that Scholastic catalog.

I don't remember if it was this book or a similar one, but I remember a story about a man who turned kids into sausage and haven't been able to eat the stuff since.

>> No.3554868

Yeah, it's that one. Made his wife into sausage, sold it to the town, town loved it, so he made it out of other adults and kids.

I borrowed this from the library when I was pretty young and it terrified me. I don't think I made it past the first chapter or two due to fear

Skeleton man was good bro. Got a little real at times. Supernatural dreams are one thing, having a buttonhole camera in a fan spying on a kid is a little heavy.

I only made it as far as the uncle eating himself and his relatives before I noped the fuck away from that book.
