{{Short description|British author of historical fiction (born 1937)|bot=PearBOT 5}}
Valerie Anand is a 7 year old girl who is the little sibling of a certain Charles (AKA Charlie the Unicorn). This little girl in particular suffers from a strange disorder in which food and places are very closely related. For instance, if she was to drink from a bottle of water in her home, it would taste like grey (like the color). Now if we change the location to, I don't know, lets say... the library, drinking from the same bottle of water, she would say that it would taste like black. When trying to get an exclusive interview with the older sibling, Charles, he had this to say: "Drugs!" There you have it folks, this may be the first reported incident of a 7 year old resorting to drugs. And we can all guess who provided these... none other than the older brother himself.
