This reminds me of a book report I did in (IIRC) 4th grade (I was in the states by then and, thinking about it, that seems the most likely scholastic year) - anyway, we were tasked with a report on a book out of the school library. Our school had apparently recently been visited by those who like to impose their ideology by adding/removing books and I found a wee book called The Complete Book of Devils and Demons which was mainly mainstream Christian propaganda about their devils and demons - but what I managed to work out of it, IIRC (again, it’s been a while) but it was along the lines of how Satan got the shaft and what a bully god was for doling out punishment both on a whim and inconsistently.
Got me a visit with the school administration, a school psychologist and more than one parent teacher conference. I distinctly remember tracing the cover with wax paper (the impalement cover) and placing that on black construction paper to make my cover. I was quite proud of it… right up until the cover was torn up in front of me by a teacher.
