The Ink Drinker Georges Moroz, Martin Matje (Illustrator), G
Paperback
WHAT IF YOUR Dad loved books, owned a bookstore, and even called his cherished volumes Òmy little bookiesÓ? You would probably despise booksÑjust like the young protagonist in this deliciously bizarre story.
One summer vacation, while Odilon is working in the store and hoping shoplifters will ease his burden, he spots a weird, pale stranger drinking a book. With a straw. As soon as the ink drinker flees (at the sound of the boyÕs gasp), the young spy locates the customerÕs book and discovers that it is completely blank except for a letter or two! He races out of the store on the heels of this tough customerÑall the way to the cemetery. . . .
