❖ “I get a solemn oath from each of them, for show, then turn to face the students gathered on the slope behind me. All look suitably harrowed. At least one good liar has a survival story I’d trust to fool authorities. There are perks to having delinquent friends.” ❖

          ❖ Fun fact of the day: Most rocks can’t burn (only melt at high enough temperatures) but some materials categorized as rocks can indeed go up in flames. Coal is a great example.

❖ “If this doesn’t work, I’m probably trashing my survival chances, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and I can’t think of anything I’m better at than insulting people.” ❖
          
          Hello friends! I come bearing a chapter. This week in The Book of Miranda, Des gambles on a final distraction in hopes of ending this once and for all. We’re now four chapters from the end of this book—catch up now to read the finale as it goes live!

          ❖ Fun fact of the day: The brimstone in “fire and brimstone” is an antiquated word for sulfur.

❖ “Ashcroft sways from side to side, caught in whatever trance Massingham once fell to. He’s still singing, but there’s something wrong with his voice.” ❖
          
          Hello friends! I come bearing a chapter. This week in The Book of Miranda, a new challenger appears. Des and co. aren’t done with this school just yet.

          ❖ Fun fact of the day: Crosses predate Christianity. Before their adoption as the symbol of the Christian faith, however, they were simply execution devices, on par with stakes, guillotines, or gallows.

❖ “I didn’t know curses were flammable.” ❖
          
          Hello friends! I come bearing a chapter. This week in The Book of Miranda, the escape begins…

          ❖ Fun fact of the day: Chlorine trifluoride is the world’s strongest oxidizing agent, a fancy word for a chemical that lights other things on fire. Fires enabled by it can burn substances like bricks, concrete, sand, and asbestos. No chlorine trifluoride was used in the writing of this book.
