Changed "mixing" to "kneading" for accuracy

It may be written like poetry, but it's definitely not light reading. I wouldn't want to turn a kid loose with it without some solid historical background.

 

I wouldn't describe it as a kid's book, although it's told from a kid's point of view. Like To Kill a Mockingbird (also told from a child's point of view) it deals with some heavy issues and adult themes. I'll have to reread it, though: I don't remember the windmill!

 

@Okanagancook, thanks for the documentation and the air fryer comment. Now I'm sorry I don't have my air fryer with me! It's good to know those don't have to be oil-fried. @heidih, I think that business about the motion makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the visual. It reminds me of the verbal-visuals I've read about women kneading pasta dough.
