HAPPY SUMMER AND HAVE FUN

Heaven looks a lot like the Mall

I have been hit in the head during dodgeball! What fun. Except, now I am in the hospital, and I am in Heaven, or at least that's what the signs in the mall say. Nail head. No really, there is a guy in my heaven with a nail in his head, or Drill Bit as he says. So am I dead or what? I thought all my dead friends and family would meet me. Nope. I go to a lost and found with Nail boy, and he shows me a shopping bag, full of the most important stuff I have ever bought at the mall. 

Now I am reliving everything I ever did that was important of had something to do with the items. But before I was in a coma, I had to write an essay, for college applications. One question. Who are you? I am a girl, I have weight issues, and I have an older brother. That's not the right answer. Who AM I??? 

In this story, 16 year old Tessa had a shocking gym accident, and finds herself in heaven, and she discovers who she is, while in a coma.

Freaky Monday

And you thought Friday was freaky? Ya, right. Compared to Monday, Friday is completely normal! Whoa. I just got a mega headache! Uh oh, whats happening??? (fall to floor)

My name is Hadley Fox, I'm thirteen years old. I really wish my Eighth Grade English Teacher, Ms. Pitt, would follow the lesson plan. Now I am completely freaking out, because today I need to give an Oral Presentation on To Kill A Mockingbird, and I am unprepared. For the first time in my life, me, with the 4.3 GPA and straight A's. I am unprepared. So this one time, Ms. Pitt decides to stay with the plan? She now knows I forgot, and just hands me the book and tells me good luck. I automatically turn to page 139, and read a quote from the father, Atticus. I am embarrassed now also! Some idiot yelled out that they want me to move and my big sister, Tatum to come up. She has her license, and is awesome. I stutter in the middle of the quote, and Ms. Pitt helps me finish it. " 'Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it' " The lights flicker. I felt a jolt, Ms. Pitt and I just stood there, and suddenly, I say something, but I hear not my own voice, but Ms. Pitt's. I see I am standing NEXT TO MYSELF. I see myself, and I look like Ms. Pitt. I AM IN MY TEACHERS BODY. AND SHE IS IN MINE.  WE HAVE TO FIX THIS BEFORE THE DANCE, SO I CAN FINALLY SEE ZANE HENDERSON, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!
HELP ME!!!

(yawn, that was exhausting) I get up and wipe myself from the floor. "Ah, that was quite a noisy trance. Hadley seems to scream a lot. Oh well, I am well rested, and now I am ready to go possum hunting with my pet olive!!!"

Summer

Sitting in the warm sun

Swimming in the cold water

Playing, or relaxing

You know this is summer

Free from school

Sleeping late

Laughing, enjoying

Your summer day



Wishing you a happy summer!!!

The Emily Windsnap Series

The Emily Windsnap series consists of four books, The Tail of Emily Windsnap, Emily Windsnap and the Monster of the Deep, Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist, and Emily Windsnap and the Siren's Secret. Me, I'm in the middle of the first book, but plan to read the whole series this summer. Basically, Emily Windsnap is a 12 year-old girl who lives with her mom on a houseboat. Emily has never been totally emersed in water. She's never swam before. When she goes to swim class at school she discovers something astonishing.

The Alchemyst

Magic, twins, and more magic. Twins Sophie and Josh Newman are sucked into a magical world, when the Alchemyst Nicholas Flamel is in a fight, and they witness it. The ancient book, the Codex, is stolen, by Dr. John Dee, except two pages. Dee will stop at nothing to get those two most important pages. The Codex contains the secrets to eternal life, and the philosophers stone. Sophie and Josh are dragged on an adventure with Flamel and Scathach, a legendary Irish woman warrior, and a vegetarian vampire, to all different places. They meet the goddess Hekate, and she realizes the Sophie and Josh have the rarest aura's seen for a while. Gold and Silver. The Codex refers to them in it, and that means the they will either save the world, or destroy it. Which? Hekate awakens Sophie's powers, but not Josh. Now Sophie must learn how to control her powers. Dee is after them. Will the world end? Not even I know yet. I finished the book, but there is a sequel.

Read them all!

Don't Stop Believin'

Hey! Skittlez here. Last week my school had its last chorus concert of the year. One song we sang was "Don't Stop Believin'" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ffuCVLECpY) Our teacher had hired a choreographer to teach us a dance to do while singing. We last saw her April 15, 2010. The next night, she was killed in a tragic car/train accident. We continued to sing and reherse the dance to the song in her honor. Next time you listen to "Don't Stop Believin'", think of her...R.I.P Katie Lunn.

Behind the Bedroom Wall

Hello! My name is Jellybeans, and something weird is happening to me now!!! whoa!!! *world goes fuzzy*

MY name is Korinna, and my parents are traitors.These Jews. In my own house! And my own mother, helping them?! Who can I trust? Rita, my best friend. No wait, her brother! Nope.  Sophie and her little 5 year old daughter Rachel are behind my wardrobe. Poor them, for the father and older sister are somewhere else. NO!!! What am I doing? Why am I, a loyal German, feeling sorry for these, these, these Jews? Am I supposed to report my parents? I should, but no, they are my parents. I'm in SHOCK here. What should I do? I am happy Hitler is coming, for he is  a wonderful man, but I'm scared, that he will find the Jews and kill us all. I have come to like Rachel, and her drawings. What am I doing? Why do I talk about them this way? What's wrong with me???

WHOA!!! I, Jellybeans, just came out of some weird trance. CREEPISH!!! *the world comes into focus again and I have no idea what just happened*
