Playschool (2006)
“He hated his parents. He hated his sister Primrose, who was disgustingly nice, and he hated all the other relations he assumed he had but had never met. He hated his teachers and every other person he knew or read about or saw on TV. Sometimes, for practice, he even hated himself, and pretty well everyone hated him too.
But Orkward Warlock had one hate that was deeper than all his other hates. It was so dark and deep that it had no end, like the lake in Scotland where the Loch Ness Monster live...s. This hate was bigger than all Orkward’s other hates added together and multiplied by twelve plus seven.
The thing that Orkward Warlock hated more than anything in the whole universe was the Floods.
Orkward Warlock was one of the twenty-seven boarders at Quicklime’s. The boarders were usually children who lived too far away to be able to come to school by bus each day. The fleet of wizard buses that took the children to and from school covered the entire globe. There was even one very small witch – Felicia McThursday – who came from a lighthouse on a remote rock fifty kilometres past Iceland.MoreLess
