Fabulous Five 024 - the Great Tv Turnoff
“Willie's article took up the entire lower half of the front page.
The headline blared: BRANFORD TELEVISION TURNOFF A HUGE SUCCESS. Underneath that, in smaller letters, was: Similar Turnoff Suggested for Wakeman Junior High. Even worse, her mother's byline was on the story, for all the world to see.
Katie groaned as she skimmed the article. Willie called television one of the greatest menaces in society today, and she quoted people who said that watching too much TV was ruining the lives of chil...dren. Then she went on to report that several people in Branford who had taken part in the turnoff said that it was the best thing that had happened to them in a long time. The article ended with a plea to Mr. Bell and the teachers at Wakeman to conduct their own turnoff.
Katie let the paper drop into her lap. Oh, please, not Wakeman Junior High, she prayed fervently. The kids at Wacko will blame me.
They'll burn me at the stake like Joan of Arc. They'll push me off a bridge—if they can find one high enough.MoreLess
