I am on the run.
The police are chasing me
Because they think I'm a terrorist.
The trouble all began when my Dad hid the writer of a book called The Exploded in our house. It inspired a terrorist attack on London. That's why it's a BANNED book.
We live in dangerous times. The state says books have to be sweet and pleasant, so they don't inspire teenagers to commit violent crime. Get caught reading a banned book and you go to jail.
I thought the state was wrong.
How much harm can a book do?
Then I read one.
Now I'm about to commit murder.
Now I know better.
