The Child (Paperback)

The schools in the little town of Wonderville are different. They are taught by mechanical teachers that have been programmed to be perfect examples in every possible way. They speak correctly. They move correctly. They even carefully analyze each student for any sign of drug use, and they do that correctly too. They are however not very good at teaching. In fact, they are really really boring. One particularly bright student, Vayle, often finds his mind wandering in class. He is too smart for his own good. He knows more than most of the students in his class. One day, he starts asking questions, questions his school doesn't appreciate, questions like 'What is the Garden of Eden like?' and 'How do you tell the difference between the letter O and the number O?' and others. They are questions to which the school has no answer. Vayle gets in trouble. To teach Vayle a lesson, the Principal sends him on a tour of the upper classes, and Vayle learns the difference between being enrolled and being admitted. Those that are enrolled make perfect grades and eat warm roast beef for lunch. Those that attend spend their days running from mechanical truant officers armed with shock whips and detention slips. And the only difference between those two types of students is degrees of perfection. Vayle can't stop asking questions though. He can't turn off his brain like that. And he asks the one question every school administration hates. 'Why?' And then the real trouble begins.
