    Default Granola New Age Spirit World Gazette

    Hi! I'm wordering there really is Granola New Age Spirit World Gazette.
    And whether it is or not, what does it mean? Is it a kind of newspaper or something? Please help!


    I've read this sentence in the book.

    - What happens next is hard to put into words without sounding like a moronic advertisment for the Granola New Age Spirit World Gazette.

    Dear Frindle:

    I do not think this publication exists. The author is trying to say that 'what happens next' is something that defies rational explanation.

    granola is used as a reference to people who eat 'natural' food

    'new age' and 'spirit world' are references to a movement whose members tend to believe in non-scientific explanations for the phenomena one encounters in daily life.

    The writer is saying that 'what happens next' is hard to explain using logic and that, if s/he hadn't witnessed it firsthand s/he wouldn't have believed it.

    I hope this is useful,

    Petra

    Where did you see it? It's a good name and sounds like a book worth reading.

    I've read it from the novel, <Stuck in Neutral> by Terry Trueman.
