Desserted Island

Once upon a time, in land far far away, there was an island. Now, this wasn't any ordinary island. So, you might be thinking that I spelled ‘deserted’ wrong in the title but,  this island has living things on it. So, why is it a desserted island? Well, this island has a curse. Every day at dawn, it will pour all kinds of desserts down on the Island. So today, I'm going to tell you how this came about. 

Once, a really long time ago, on this desserted island, there lived a nice sorceress who everyone on the island knew and loved. But, as she grew older, she began to crave dessert every day. She began to study up on The Magic of Desserts. Soon, she discovered how to make it rain anything she wanted. She made a spell to make it rain dessert every single day. It rained dessert for the rest of her life and she was very happy. when she an old lady she died. The rest of the islanders didn’t know how to stop it from raining dessert and they didn’t have the sorceress to help them eat it. For the rest of their days the island was covered with  desert and soon it became deserted because everyone became tired of all the dessert. Years later, the island became repopulated when a band of pirates ran across the island. Luckily, all the pirates had sweet tooths and ate all the dessert every day. 

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

Whatever After

           
Whatever After is a great series written by Sarah Mlynowski. Whatever After is about a ten year old girl named Abby who focuses a lot in and out of school and loves fairytales. Her seven year old brother Jonah loves ketchup, climbing, and does not pay attention to fairytales. They have a magic mirror in their basement that only they know about.

 Maryrose is a fairy who lives inside the mirror. Any random day at midnight, she lets Abby and Jonah in the mirror after they knock three times.

 On the first knock, the mirrors starts to hiss. On the second knock, the mirror turns purple, and on the third knock, the mirrors sucks in everything, including them and they land in a fairytale. They never get to see Maryrose, but they know she's there because after their first journey, she spoke to them. The mirror brings Abby and Jonah into any fairytale and it could be any fairytale there ever was. 

If they want to go back home, they have to find a way out by trying to find an object that will bring them in. The problem is,the object can be anything! Before getting out of the fairytale, Abby and Jonah usually mess things up or try to fix them. In the end, they always find a way out. 

One time, they got sucked into Beauty and the Beast. That was one story! Everything there is named for what it is or how people look. Abby and Jonah have to make Beauty (you probably know her as Belle) fall in love with the beast. Apparently, you cannot force love like how Abby was doing it. A lot of wacky events happened and Abby got. . . .  well I’ll let you find out yourself!

You could say the series is called Whatever After because in the end, it is not happily ever after, it's whatever after! This series is great for kids who love fairy tales and adventure because that is what this series is all about! Whatever After is totally worth your time!

The Color Blue Attacks!!!!!!!!!!!

 Back then everyone loved the color red. Now everyone loves the color blue. Let me tell you how it happened.A long time ago a girl named Joella was playing with her red play set when she heard someone on t.v. say that they found a way to make a unique color. They announced that they would call it blue. Red was vanished from all supermarkets and stores.  Blue was becoming the  best color ever made. When Joella went to her favorite store, Ocelcea, and saw no red anywhere she was surprised. The store even changed their sign to blue. Blue was everyone's favorite color besides Joella’s. She fought and fought for the color red but it never worked. One day Joella gave up on the color red. That is why the color blue is such a famous color.
