Mana made me laugh. It’s beautiful. I’m definitely using your work with my students this year. Thank you!
Also, I saw 28 years later and enjoyed it. It’s mostly about a boy’s relationship with his parents plus zombies. Did you see it? If so, did you like it?
"Mana" caught me by surprise. My first thought was "Clever lad," in the Jurassic Park / Velociraptor sense.
