    I've had to come up with a headache or two to get out of going somewhere. ;-)

    It's a hit! I like the cover art as well. So, she has faked a headache. Why doesn't she want to go with him? Hope you're enjoying the book!

Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
