Make the sentences slightly longer and mention hoardings, and this could have been J.G. Ballard.
No. I refuse to believe thereās an actual human being who thinks thatās in any way a reason to ban reading on a school bus. I can only assume the driver has some kind of deep personal grudge against this girl and this is his roundabout way of insulting her.

Why, she keeps readinā on the bus, first thang you know sheāll git herself some dat uppity book larninā.
Howās she gonna larn her place then?
Iām sorry to advise that there are some people who are so effing ignorant and have such faulty reasoning that they just make terrible decisions, which sometimes impacts the innocent children in their charge.

For the record, cousin, the surname Auger means that child is my cousin too. And a reader. Can I go into nerd-mama-dragon on her behalf, now?
