What things about the book did she find strange?

Solution

Margie was surprised when she heard that centuries ago the words printed on a book stood still instead of moving the way on a screen. She found it strange that the words on a page always remained the same as the first time they were read. Besides, the idea that someone would write a book about schools was itself strange for Margie.
