I am a snake.
No, not a rattlesnake. I just look like one. I'm a gopher
snake.
One day an oily, filthy, fleshy human child crossed my path. As
luck would have it, he knew the difference between a gopher snake
and a rattlesnake. He has imprisoned me in a terrarium. His name is
Gunnar. He calls me Crusher. He thinks I'm male. I'm not.
He dropped in a dead mouse and hoped I'd eat it. I buried it. He
then dropped in a live one, which he called "Breakfast." I didn't
lay a coil on it.
Gunnar thinks I'll be his adoring pet. He's wrong.
In fact, I am planning my escape. I may take Breakfast with
me.
Crusher will charm readers in this entertaining, clever novel
about a snake in captivity and how she turns the tables on her
human captor.
