«Odge Gribble was a hag. And up to a point, Odge
did get a little more hag-like. She had unequal eyes:
the left one was green and the right one was brown,
and she had one blue tooth – but it was a molar and
right at the back; the kind you only see when you’re
at the dentist. There was also a bump on one of her
feet which just could have been the beginning of an
extra toe, though not a very big one.
From that day on, Odge was a girl with a mission.
She started school the following year and worked
so hard that she was soon top of her class. She
jogged, she threw boulders around to strengthen
her biceps, she studied maps of London and tried
to cough up frogs.»
