RAINBOW MAGIC
THE PET FAIRIES
GEORGIA THE GUINEA PIG FAIRY
BY DAISY MEADOW

Rachel and Kirsty were on a farm named Strawberry Farm.Kirsty was feeding a lamb when Rachel was holding it.When she let it go, it went to the sheep field.Rachel was staying with Kirsty.They went on a pony ride too.Rachel told Kirsty that she saw a pet corner.The pet fairies' magical pets had been lost and she thought they could find the lost magical pets.When they went in, they saw rabbits and guinea pigs.Kirsty saw a bunny.The signs said their names and their favorite food.

Rachel saw another sign and there were three names instead of one.They were guinea pigs and their names were Rose,Millie and Baby Carrot.Then Rachel noticed that the Baby Carrot was gone.She saw that the door was opened and they noticed an orange and white guinea pig.It was heading to the sheep field.Carrot was running to a tree,but it didn't change the direction.It just went up the tree.Even Kirsty follwed it and went up the tree.But she was about to get baby carrot, it jumped off and flew.Then they found that it wasn't Carrot,but it was Georgia's guinea pig!

Then they saw Georgia,the guinea pig fairy coming on a black bird.When the magical Guinea pig was flying to georgia,a sheep stood up on its hind heels and caught the flying animal.It wasn't a sheep,but it was a goblin!!Georgia turned the girls into fairies.Then two more sheep,who were goblins stood up on their hind legs and chased the girla and Georgia.Sparky was the name of Georgia's guinea pig.The goblin that caught Sparky in the butterfly net and went into a barn.Kirsty tried to stop a goblin,but she got caught.

Rachel and Georgia were thinking of a plan.Georgia told Rachel to make the goblins to eat something.Rachel thought that they both could scare away the goblins.Georgia turned back Rachelto her normal size.She pretended to read a sign that said,"Beware of the bull".Georgia locked the door tight with her magic and on the darker side of the barn and made an angry bull sound.The goblins got scared and tried to open the locked door.Georgia and Rachel told the goblins that they wouldn't open the door if they won't give Kirsty and Sparky to them.The goblins said that they would give Kirsty back, but not Sparky and they agreed.

They planned to grab Sparky from the goblins when they come out.They got Kirsty back and Georgia turned her back into normal size.They opened the door and the goblins cameout,but they missed to catch Sparky.Kirsty asked Georgia to make a rope into a lasso.She threw it to get the goblin with Sparky.The lasso was heading and Georgia used her magic to get it in right way and they caught the goblin.The girls took out Sparky from that goblin and Sparky tuned to fairy size and went to Georgia.

Then they remembered about Baby Carrot.Georgia again turned the girls into fairies.They looked everywhere,but they couldn't find Carrot.Then they saw a hen and its four chick.The fourth chick looked like a guinea pig and it was Carrot!Georgia turned the girls back into normal size.They brought Baby Carrot back to its home.Georgia shut the door.Everybody said goodbye and Georgia went to Fairy Land with Sparky!!

PS.I played games with the fairies on rainbowmagiconline.com.It was really fun!

WITCH
BOOK # 2
THE DISAPPEARANCE
Adapted by Elizabeth Lenhard

I shared my thoughts on Witch-book 1,now I'm going to share book 2.

Right now Will,Irma,Taranee,Cornelia and Hay Lin are in front of Elyon's house,knocking on the door and waiting for Elyon or someone of her family to open the door.But,nobody answered.It started raining so they went to Will's house.Hay Lin told them that she had to go home to see her grandmother,Yan Lin.Yan Lin was sick and Hay Lin was worried about her.Yan Lin was the only one that was not one of the Guardians and she knew their secret and everything about it.Hay Lin went home and the others went to Will's house.She unlocked the door and went in.Cornelia,Taranee and Irma followed her.They sat on a couch and started talking,but then the lights went out.Taranee told them not to worry and in the palm of her hand she had a little ball of fire.It brightend up the room with its light.She made more balls and let them free.

Then Will asked James if he would offer them some food.And then the refrigerator started talking.James was the refrigerator!!Cornelia,Taranee and Irma screamed in terror.Will told them that few days before she found out that she could talk to many electrical appliances.And they were not working on electicity, but on magic!!Will saw a car coming up the street.It was her mom.They had to get rid of the fireballs.Taranne blew them out just in time,when Will's mom opened the door.The only thing she saw was her daughter and her friends.

That moment,Hay Lin was walking home talking to herself about her grandma.When she got home she leaned on a wall.She overheard the doctor saying that nothing could be done about her grandmother and she broke into tears.Her dad heard her crying and told her to go use the hair blower to dry her soggyhair.Then she heard someone calling her name.It was her grandma!She told her to use her wind power to dry her hair.She made a tornado and in a few seconds she was dry.After that,Hay Lin's grandma gave her a scroll of all of the passageway called portals.There were 12 of them.They already found one,it was in the gym.But,they closed it.Then the grandma told her grandaughter that she too was a Guardian.Hay Lin was very surprised,she never knew that her own grandma was a Guardian too.Hay Lin's dad came into the room and with the scrolls in her pocket,Hay Lin went out.

On Friday morning the girls went school and saw two police officers at the Principal's office.And the girls knew why.A boy,Andrew Hornby from their school was missing for three straight days.When Irma heard that she looked scared.The door opened and the principil,Mrs.Knickerbocker said goodbye to the police men.When Mrs.Knickerbocker saw Hay Lin,she asked if she could see her.It was bad news,Hay Lin's grandma passed away when Hay Lin was at school.So sad..when she came out she told the other girls the news.Then Hay Lin looked down the hill and she saw Elyon.The other girls looked too, but they couldn't see anyone!!So they all went back to school.Elyon sighed in relief.She was from Metamoor,the evil planet and she could became invisible before the girls saw her.


It was Saturday and the girls went for the funeral of Yan Lin.On Sunday morning went for a bike ride in a park.She stopped under a tree.She heard someone talking and looked up.It was Uriah and his friends.And she overheard their plan.They were planning to capture a dormouse and to put it in the locker of Martin Tubbs.Will loved the cute dormice and she didn't want the dormouse to be hurt.Uriah caught the dormouse,which bit him.He screamed in pain.The dormouse escaped and hid in a pile of leaves.Uriah tried to catch it again,but Will shouted"Stop....".After a long argument,Uriah and the gang walked away.

Will triedto get the dormouse back up the tree,but it wouldn't do so.Then someone walked up to her.Will thought it was Uriah back and she smashed his toe.But alas!It was Matt.She felt so sorry.Matt's family was running an animal shelter and he handed over his number.Will took the dormouse home.On Monday,Irma went to school and the girls stood in an empty hallway .Irma told them that she was the one who made Andrew disapper.She got angry with him and turned him into a toad.He hopped away.After the conversation,they all went to class.

The next day,they went Elyon's house to see if anyone was home.When they got there the door was unlocked,so they went in.They went to the basement and were attacked by bricks.But they managed to turn into fairies and to defeat them.Then they saw Elyon,but before they got a chance to talk to her,she disappeared.In her place was a big blue book.Hay Lin took it and all went home.

Then they went to lake to look for Andrew-the toad.They found him...good!
Let's see next to think on Book #3 and see whether they could change Andrew back.

RAINBOW MAGIC
THE PET FAIRIES
BELLA-THE BUNNY FAIRY
By Daisy Meadows.

Rachel was staying with Kirsty's family.Jane was Kirsty's neighbour.They were hiding chocolate eggs for Jane's party.They were giving Jane and her friends an Easter egg hunt.Jane's parents,Mrs.&Mr.Dillon were happy that the girls were helping.And the girls were waiting to find another missing pet.Rachel and Kirsty had a big secret.They were friends with the fairies and always helped them when they were in trouble. Jack Frost stole the fairy pets.

Jane came over and said that she and her friends were going to have an egg hunt and she was going to get a present.Mrs.Dillon saw that they needed more time.So she asked Jane for help.When they went in,Mr.Dillon asked if they wanted to see Jane's present.They saw the gift .It was a fluffy black rabbit!When all the people came,they stared the egg hunt.In the middle of the hunt, a girl saw a bright bunny.The girl said that it came out from a tree trunk.Rachel came closer.They saw the shimmering magical haze.It was so fairy magic.Then a boy shouted that he saw the Easter bunny.They all came over to see the bright lilac colored bunny.It disappeared and there were magic sparkles around.Kirsty said quietly that bunny belonged to the fairy Bella,the bunny fairy.

All the children wanted to see the Easter Bunny.Kirsty told the children to look for eggs.Jane was not interested in Easter eggs.She wanted to see the Easter Bunny.
Rachel saw the bunny on the picnic table.The girls saw sparkles on the food.It was nibbling a carrot.Then the bunny turned yellow.Before Kirsty and Rachel could do anything,Jane shouted ,"Easter bunny".Jane went closer and patted the bunny.Rachel and Kirsty took the bunny to Kirsty's house.But, on the way, they heard crackling sound from an oak tree.Guess who?They saw four goblins! The girls were running to get away from the goblins and they got into a hole trap set by the goblins.They took the bunny away.So sad!

Then there came a small fairy.Can you guess,who it was? It was Bella, the Bunny Fairy.Bella stopped by the trap and with her magic she turned Kirsty and Rachel into Fairies!They were looking for the goblins and they heard a sound.They followed the sound, and saw the four goblins arguing about who could get the chocolate eggs from the basket at Jane's house.Greedy goblins!They saw goblins holding Misty,the bunny.She was scared.Bella told them that Misty couldn't use magic to get disappear,if someone hold her or if she got scared.

Then Rachel had a great idea!She saw a blue toy bunny in the candy basket.She told Bella to turn them back to human size.Bella did so.Rachel asked Mrs.Dillon, Jane's mom if they could the toy bunny.She agreed.Rachel took the toy bunny out of the basket and purposely dropped some chocolate eggs.The goblins were busy with eating chocolates.The girls covered the hole made by the goblins with twigs and leaves.Rachel asked Bella to make a string with her magic.She tied the string around the blue toy bunny.To make out their plan, they wanted Misty to turn blue from yellow.Bella wrote in air "Turn Blue" with her magic wand.Misty turned blue.Bella turned the girls to fairies again.

The goblins were fighting over chocolates and they got confused seeing the blue bunny instead of the yellow one.Then Bella wrote another message.It was "Follow Me".Misty jumped out of the goblin's hand and followed Bella.Then the bunny turned to fairy size and jumped to Bella.Meanwhile, Kirsty and Rachel were moving the toy bunny with the string.The goblins saw the toy bunny and thought it was Misty.They followed the bunny and landed in the hole trap.Then they started fighting for the bunny.The girls took the bunny out of the hole with the string .Bella thanked the girls for all their help.

Misty started talking to Bella.She told that there was a lost bunny who need their help.Rachel saw a black rabbit.Then the girls realized it was Jane's surprise Easter gift.It was the present time.They put the bunny back in the present box.They noticed a hole on the box.The bunny nibbled it and went out through the hole.Then it was Jane's turn to open her present.When she opened the box, The fluffy black bunny popped out.Jane was so happy!When Jane hugged the rabbit, the girls saw sparkles around Jane and the bunny.That was fairy magic again!Jane named her pet,"sooty".

Bella said goodbye to the girls and with some magic, Bella and Misty vanished.They went back to fairy land.Mrs.Dillon bought the basket of chocolate eggs for the kids.Rachel put the toy bunny back in the basket just in the nick of time.They all had a Happy Easter!!

PS.I would have named the bunny,"shadow".
PSS.The next book will be GEORGIA,THE GUINEA PIG FAIRY.

WITCH
Book 1-THE POWER OF FIVE
Adapted By Elizabeth Lenhard

Hello,

I am sorry about not finishing the story of Kanon.I couldn't find the third volume of the book.So I am now starting a new series called "W.I.T.C.H".WITCH stands for the five main characters of the book which are Will,Irma,Taranee,Cornelia and Hay Lin.

Let's get started!

Distant and deep in Candracar ,Oracle stood up to speak.He told his citizens that the Veil(the protective cover)had become very weak.And it was the time to pick five human beings as new guardians to protect the Veil.Nature would be their friend,Earth would be their mother and the elements would be their allies.

"Aaaagh",shouted Will Vandom snapping out of her nightmare.Then only she remembered that she's in the car with her mom,moving to Heather Field.The next day Will was late for school and as she walked up the stair steps,a girl named Taranee Cook ran onto the courtyard of the school,Sheffield Institute.They looked around for their classrooms and bumped into each other.They shook hands and introduced themselves.They were about to rush to their classrooms, the Principal,Ms.Knickerbocker came over and asked them why they were not in the classrooms.They told her that they both are new to the school and didn't know where the classrooms are.The Principal excused them and showed them their classrooms.Will went to Room # 304 Taranne to room # 303 Taranee went inside the classroom and sat in a desk, middle of two girls, she already knew.One of them had brown hair and was such a show-off.But Taranee liked the girl with kooky clothes better.She learned that the show-off was named Irma and the kooky clothes girl was Hay Lin.That was the day when there was a pop quiz and Irma only studied about Charles the great.She got called by the teacher to stand-up.As if it was magic,the teacher told her to tell him about Charles the great!She told him all she knew.Cornelia looked down at her paper and told herself to stop daydreaming and start working.

Cornelia was daydreaming about what really happened today.First,the broken pencil got sharpened by itself,then the bell rang early for lunch when she was hungry and when she wished a boy to smile at her,that also happened!She knew it was impossible, but she felt it was so real!Now,when she wished she had sometime to take a break, it was a black out for Cornelia's class and Cornelia's teacher went to get the janitor,everyone got up and stretched and started talking.After sometime the lights turned on and everything came back to normal.

After school,she spotted her best friend,Elyon.Elyon looked sad.Then Cornelia saw Irma and Hay Lin coming her way.When Irma saw Elyon's face, she knew that Elyon had a bad grade.Irma,Elyon,Cornelia and Hay Lin were a group.And one of the rules of their group was that if one of them get a bad grade,she gets a punishment.And the friends went to look for a punishment for Elyon.They found it!Elyon had to be the study mate of Matt.

Cornelia went to get her bike from the bike rack,but it was not there.Then she heard a terrified scream and she ran to check it out.There she saw Will and Taranne,being teased by Uriah and friends.Cornelia also saw her bike and the bike of the other two girls being tangled by the boys.She went to them and told them to back off.Then she reminded Will and Taranne of the Halloween night party at school.They all went home on their bike.

Irma was in bathtub, thinking about what to wear for the Halloween party.But for some reason, she lifted her hand out of water to get more bubbles ,a thin line of water followed her hand!!!.But Irma didn't care.She was too worried about her costume.It was raining.Will and Taranne stayed at Taranne's house for shelter. After the rain stopped, Will rode her bike home.On her way, she looked at herself in a shop window.Instead of seeing herself in her blue jeans and red sweater, she saw her image in purple long sleeve shirt and a mini skirt and blue and green tights!!! And she even had Fairy wings!!

When Cornelia reached she dressed up in her costume for the party and waited for hours.When it was time to go,Her mom didn't let her go.She told her to clean up her room.Cornelia looked at her messy room.She saw clothes scattered on the floor, papers of her history text all over her desk,her ice skates thrown on the floor ,trophies out of line and stuffed toys falling out of her unmade bed.She closed the door and wished that the room get cleaned by itself.Then she heard a loud noises from inside her room.She tried to open the door ,but she couldn't.She was locked out of her room!When she finally opened her room,she saw her room was spotless!!Her mom got surprised to see the clean room and Cornelia went to the school party.

At the party everything went well until the best costume party.The winner was a guy looked like a monster and he was supposed to throw a fake torch at the paper pumpkin that was at the front of the school.But instead he threw the torch out of his hand and opened his eyes and fire came out of his eyes!!And then fire rockets bursted out of the paper pumpkin and one was headed straight for Will.Taranne cried "Stop" and the fire rockets stopped.When the girls looked up,they saw the fire fighters splashing water putting out fire.The Principal looked behind the paper pumpkin and saw Uriah and his friends holding unfired fire rockets and they were going to be in big trouble.The Principal wanted everyone to go home.

The next day Elyon asked if Will,Cornelia,Irma,Taranne and Hay Lin could meet her at the gym at 9 pm.Only Will,Irma and Hay Lin were available.And they agreed to come.At the evening,all the girls except Elyon went to Hay Lin's house for a snack.As they all sat down,Hay Lin's grandmother Yay Lin greeted them as "the Guardians". She told them that they were "the Guardians of the Veil"!After she explained,everyone was shocked and Yay Lin told them that she was a Guardian too,long ago.Then,she told them that Will was the the keeper of The Heart Of Cardracar!The heart she told them was the thing that held all of their powers,the elements.AIR,WATER,EARTH AND FIRE.After the conversation Will,Irma,Taranee and Cornelia all went home.

It's 9o'clock and Will,Irma and Hay Lin made their way to the gym.When Will turned on the light,instead of Elyon they saw the guy who was the blue monster at the Halloween party.The monster grabbed them and said "Welcome Guardians".They were struggling to get out of his grip.Will thought its time to use the Heart.She yelled,"Hay Lin!Air!Irma!Water!".A silver,dark blue and bright pink drops came out of the Heart.The Silver crowded around Hay Lin,the dark blue around Irma and the pink around will.And they transformed into the fairies!They fought the blue monster and won!And they turned back into their original form and got out of the building just in time to save themselves from a gigantic fire at the building.Then they all went home.

PS.If I was one of the fairies, I would have been Will,the keeper of the Heart.

FAIRY IDOL
KANON-PART 2
By Mera Hakamada

When we last left off,the girls had screamed , "is he scouting us!?.."
Let's get on with the rest of the story.

Meanwhile in the land of fairies,Alto had to go to the Rejuvenation Temple to get her wand fixed.It was deep in the Sealed ForestThe way to the Rejuvenation Temple was protected by terrible monsters!Their weakness was a beautiful voice.With that Alto started to sing.Two birds by her died because of her horrible sound!She wished that Kanon was there to help her.

Then she thought of a plan.She knew that the real world and the land of fairies was connected by clean water.She went to a fountain and started calling for Kanon.Kanon was outside of a pool.She heard Alto's voice and jumped into the pool.When she got out of the water,she was in the land of fairies!On Alto's request to help her,Kanon sang in her beautiful voice.After singing to monsters and answering a riddle to the statues,They had to fight a Gigantic Wand Snatching Dragon.But they couldn't because Kanon's voice was not powerful enough to defeat the dragon.She went to a fountain and started calling for Kodama and Marika.

Kodama and Marika heard Kanon and jumped into the pool to help her.And they started singing together and defeated the Dragon.The four girls made it to the Rejuvenation Temple.The fairy who was fixing the wand in the temple was Alto's Grandma!She tried to fix the wand,but the energy was too low.Kodama,Marika and Kanon started to sing again and the power overwhelmed!The wand was fixed.They all went on a flying carpet to the palace to show Alto's mom the new wand.They had a grand party in the palace,but the Dark fairies who use black magic for hatred and harm were more active.

After the party, it was bed-time.Alto told them not to explore the palace for it was quite dangerous.But that tempted them to explore it more!!They bumped into many scary stuff like skeletons,talking food and even a ghost!Last they bumped into a painting of Alto and another Fairy.Alto who was in search for them, finally found them looking at the picture and crying with fear.Alto explained that all the stuff they saw were just tricks to scare off visitors.She told the fairy next to her in the painting was her bigger sister, Sharp,who was missing!

The next morning they went home.Later,on receiving an invitation from the manager, they went to the recrd label.They found out that Julia was working there and also Sharp ,who was a dark fairy now, was with Julia.The manager wanted the girls to perform in a show named "You can laugh".But they had to learn how to dance.Their dance teacher,Mr.Afro was actually the manager himself in disguise.After dance class,everyone except Kanon got the moves right.Alto told her that dancing is about having fun not about getting the correct moves.The next day Kanon got all the moves right!

They were on the "You can laugh" audition.On their way,they met a man who dropped papers.They helped him just to pick up the papers.They got their costumes, but before putting them on, they did a little practice.After they were done,a girl yelled that her stomach hutrs and needed to go to hospital.Kodama,Marika and Kanon took her to the hospital.When they came back,they found their costumes were ruined.And if they didn't make it in their costumes,they couldn't perform.And they were forced to go in their own dress.Alto saw them running to the stadium.She waved her wand and they all got dressed in their costumes!

They performed and they passed the audition for two reasons.One for their great singing and another for their kindness.The girl they helped was actually one of the "You can Laugh" judges. Another surprise waiting for them was the owner of the show,Mr.Tario.He was the same man whom they helped to pick up the papers.Mr.Tario welcomed them to be the new judges of the great show!!

PS.Iam waiting to read the third volume.Iam sure that Sharp will be saved from the evil hands of Julia.But how?Let's wait and see.

RAINBOW MAGIC -THE PET FAIRIES
KATIE THE KITTEN FAIRY
BY Daisy Meadows.

I went to the library and saw a bunch of fairy books.There were Pet fairies,Petal fairies,Weather fairies and Color fairies.

In this book there were two girls,Kirsty and Rachel.Kirsty's family was staying with Rachel's family for a week.Rachel and Kirsty went to the park on the first day.They saw a dog chasing a kitten.They went to help the kitten but it turned into a tiger!The dog got scared and ran away.Then the tiger became a kitten again!Rachel and Katie got surprised!It looked like a fairy magic!!

They followed the kitten.It became small as a mouse and got into the hole at the bottom of a fence.The girls went through the gate.The Kitten was back to its own size and the girls noticed magic sprinkles following the kitten.The kitten saw a man having his lunch.It went between his legs and waited for some food.But the man was not ready to share.The girls were watching as the kitten looked up .Amber colored sparkles came out of its eyes.Then a fish stick fall out of the man's lunch plate.Rachel and Kirsty were sure that the kitten was using magic.And it was fairy magic!

The girls were still following the kitten.Then six green goblins came.The kitten ran into Rachel's hands."Give us that kitten",one goblin said."It belongs to Jack Frost",said another .The kitten opened its mouth and sparkles came out.The next time when the kitten did that they heard it saying not to believe those goblins.It also said that its owner was Katie the Kitten Fairy and it was lost.Then Kirsty remembered the magic Locket they got from The King and The Queen.(They got it from the Fairyland,but I don't know that story..SORRY)It had fairy dust in it.Then Kirsty sprinkled it around three of them and they reached the Fairy Land.

When they reached the Fairy Land,they saw the pet fairies and King Oberon and Queen Titania.They all looked so sad.Then a fairy in a yellow dress and long black hair saw the kitten and became so happy.It was Katie and the kitten was Shimmer,her pet.
King Oberon introduced them to all the fairies.They asked what was going on.The fairies said Jack Frost stole their pets.Without their magic pets the fairies won't be able to look after the pets in the real world.Rachel suggested to give Jack Frost other pets than theirs.The Queen replied her that it won't be easy.The pets chose their owners.Jack Frost always did bad things to fairyland and no pet would choose him as his owner.Shimmer started meowing.Kate listened Shimmer.Shimmer was telling her that a kitty needed their help in real world.She even said her that the other magic pets escaped from the ice castle of Jack Frost to the real world. So Kate and Shimmer went to the real world with Kirsty and Rachel.

When they reached the park, they saw a tabby kitty stuck in a big tree.Shimmer went up the tree to give a company.Then a boy came over there.Kate told the girls to ask his help to get the kitty down.He was James and he was fond of cats.James climbed up the tree and came down with the kitty.The girls noticed amber colored sparkle around James and the kitty.He just wanted the kitty as his pet.His dad was also happy about it.James named the kitty,"Dusty" and went home with it.That was the fairy magic!!

When James went home with "Dusty",Shimmer was going down from the tree.Suddenly,a goblin came out and tried grabbing Shimmer.But Shimmer was flying to Kate.The goblins hanging one after another from the tree were trying to catch Shimmer.But the last goblin couldn't hang on the branch so long and they fell on the ground and tangled.Meanwhile,Kirsty helped Shimmer to get to Kate. Kirsty and Rachel promised Kate to find out the lost magic pets.Kate and Shimmer thanked them for their help.They said goodbye to Kirsty and Rachel and went back to Fairyland.

PS.If I would be one of the fairies I would like to be the Puppy Fairy and my pet will be named "Sunny".
PSS.Next I will share the book on "Bella the Bunny Fairy".

FAIRY IDOL
KANON-PART 1
By Mera Hakamada

This is the story of Kanon,a fourth grader and her friends Kodama and Marika who love singing.

Kanon is right now in space singing!Suddenly someone cries "Help me. Help me,Kanon".It turns out that Kanon was dreaming!The moment she woke up it was she and her friends,Kodama and Marika were to try out for the solo part.Guess What? Kanon got the part!Marika was angry because she wanted the part very badly.When they went out to the grass to play,they heard someone crying for help.When they found out who it was,they almost fainted.Imagine who?It was a Fairy!She needed the harmony of singing to get better!After a little argument,the girls started to sing.The Fairy flew up and recovered."Thank you.Thank you", the Fairy cried in delight.

She introduced herself.She was Princess Alto from the Land of Fairies!She said their energy was the beautiful singing voices from the Earth.But less people were singing and so energy was low.The girls' singing saved her ,but she needed them to travel the whole world,singing for everyone!Then Marika came out with an easier way.That was to become Idols and sing on television.Kanon and Kodama got surprised at her idea.Alto promised to help them with her magic and waved her wand.Then they had new clothes!Then their Super Singing Group was formed!!

That night Alto reported her mother that she found a pure harmony.The same night Kanon asked her mom if she could be an Idol but her mom said,"No".Once she told it to Marika and kodama,they became very sad.They thought of a plan.The next evening,when Kanon's mom reached home,she saw the girls studying.It was her birthday and as a surprise gift, the girls sang a song!! Kanon's mom became happy and she allowed Kanon to go for the Junior Idol audition.The girls passed the audition!!A boy, who was a staff there came and congratulated them.Marika took them to her mom who was a celebrity!She had to conduct a cooking show but her assistants were stuck in the traffic.Alto changed their clothes to assistants' dresses to save the show!

Accidentally,they bumped into Hijiri,who was a strict Judge in Idol Competition.She behaved meanly to Marika's mom,who used to be an Idol.The next day it was the National Audition.Hijiri's daughter Julia was also a participant.She was also mean to the girls.For some reason,the girls couldn't sing.Something squeezed their stomachs,the black mist covered the stage,the lights went out,they sang to their heart but they lost!Julia ruined their show with the help of Sharp,an evil fairy.Alto broke her wand and she couldn't do anything to help the girls.So sad!!

Alto went back to the fairyland to fix her magic wand.The way to the fairyland was through clean water.So she went through the water tub.The girls went to Harajuku, a great place for scouting,to overcome their sadness and to have some fun.There they met a street performer, the staff boy they met at the first audition.The girls sang with him and the crowd applauded for their great singing.After they sang,a man came up and gave them his card,It read,"Yamada Talent Agency..Get scouted with me". Kanon,Marika and Kodama screamed, Is he ...scouting us?"..

PS.Who was that man?Its all in the second volume of this book.I will come up with its summary next time.
PSS.I love music.And I love this book,its lovely characters and the magical fairy princess!

DRAGON TALES
STORY # 3
By Dev Pilkey.

Now I'm on the last story.The name of the story is "DRAGON'S Fat Cat".It has five chapters.This story is about a cat.

The Blue Dragon saw a cat outside his backyard and asked the cat to come in his house.But the cat sat there meowing.One day passed and the dragon didn't hear any more meow sound.The cat was covered with snow and was frozen.So the dragon took him home to make him warm.The dragon named the cat,"CAT"!He made a bed out of a basket for the cat and wrote on it "cat".But Cat went to sleep on Dragon's bed and Dragon slept on Cat's basket.

Dragon didn't know how to train a cat.He didn't even know what a cat eat.He tried to show Cat how to use the toilet, but Cat did it on the floor.One day the mail mouse came and told Dragon to get a litter box for Cat.So Dragon went to the highway and picked all the litter and filled the box!His house became stinkier!!

The next day the dragon went with Cat to the pet store to buy some cat-stuff.The sales pig in the store showed the dragon how to feed and take care of the cat.The Dragon bought enough cat-stuff and happily went home,but he left Cat at the store!!Reaching home he set up everything for cat,but then he remembered about Cat!At night,he went out to look for the cat,but he couldn't find him.Dragon became very sad.He sat on an old crate and started crying.Then he heard a funny noise.MEOW!Dragon looked down in the crate and saw Cat.Cat wasn't alone!There were five little kittens!

Dragon brought them home.He named all the kittens "KITTY".He took five more baskets and wrote "KITTY" on all five baskets.But Cat and Kittens were sleeping on Dragon's bed.So dragon slept on their baskets!!

PS.I never knew the cat was a Girl.I would have named her Jewel and the Kittens as Lucy,Tracy,Stacy,Macy and Gracy !!

It was an original day and next thing happened unexpectedly that Roger threw up!The nurse,Mrs.Weller came to get Roger to her officer.Then the janitor came and cleaned up everything.Mrs.weller told the class about stomach V-I-R-U-S and gave them certain instructions to stay healthy.Sheldon was too cautious to be away from virus.He covered his head or hand with a paper bag.And he couldn't think of any germy fellow sneezing on his face.May was also overacting about the virus thing.

Mr.Scary, the class teacher then announced about the Parent's Night and the play the class is going to do on that night.It was about Christopher Columbus.He sent a paper to the parents to inform the play and also who got the most facts got to choose their part first.Junie B. wanted to be the star and collected many facts from the computer.Guess what!Junie B. collected the most facts,actually eighteen facts and she chose "the Pin ta,the fastest ship"!Lucille was Queen Isabella,Jose was Columbus,Sheldon was Nina, May was Santa Maria and Roger was the land.Many kids were sick, but Mr.Scary made the class practice the play many times.

All the parents were excited to visit the class and they were waiting the play to start.Lucille and Jose did their part well.The boys playing the part of the ocean waves and Roger, the land came upon the stage and introduced themselves.After the sailors,then it was the turn of the ships.May tried to squeeze in and Junie B.wants to be the first.When she speeded up,she accidentally nudged May's ship on her side.May nudged Junie B. back.And one after another the three ships tripped and fell flat on the floor!And the scariest thing also happened!Roger sneezed at the face of Sheldon!!.

Everyone froze.Columbus would never get to America,and it was all the fault of Junie B. and May.But Columbus wanted the show to go.Jose hollered,"wait!",and he jumped right into the waves and swam to America!He then landed on Roger, the land.He did it!!The audience clapped in delight.The next day they had a "Yay Columbus Party!".
But some kids were still angry at Junie B. and May.So Junie B.wrote an apology letter(Herbert helped her.Good friend!)to the class.Then she thought of playing a mouse play next time because the mice won't sink like ships,they would only float!

PS.I remember the play of pilgrims we did in first grade for our parents on Thanksgiving.At church,my sis did a play called "the farmer and the Seeds".

DRAGON TALES.
STORY # 2
By Dav Pilkey.

Iam going to write on the second story from DAV PILKEY.The story is DRAGON GETS BY. It has five chapters.

One warm day the blue dragon woke up very groggy.He was so groggy that he did everything wrong.He read an egg and fried the morning newspaper.He buttered his tea and sipped a cup of toast.Dragon opened the door but it was the closet!He didn't see the sun or the flowers or the sky.He didn't notice the trees or the hills.He saw only shadows and thought it was night and went back to bed.

When he woke up, he was still groggy.He started to sweep the dirty floor with a broom.He swept all morning and into the afternoon.He carried out dirt in wheelbarrows and all that sweeping left a big hole in his floor.When the mail mouse came,he saw a big hole in the dragon's house and a pile of dirt outside.He told the dragon that the floor of the house was of dirt.The mail mouse said the dragon messed up everything,but the dragon said he made a basement.Then he dug a big hole in his backyard and scooped the dirt in it, but it piled up again over the hole!

Then dragon went for food shopping in his car.He bought lot of stuff.he couldn't fit it all in his car.so he started eating some food.But he ate all the food and became very big.Now dragon could not fit into his car!So he pushed his car home.It rolled faster and faster down the hill,messed up all the way and landed right in front of his house.He became hungry again,but there was no food in the cupboard.

It was then bedtime.Dragon was still very groggy.He brushed his head and combed his teeth.He watered his bed and crawled into the plants and fell fast asleep.

PS.Goodnight Blue Dragon.I think tomorrow you won't be groggy anymore.Or else you are going to mess up yourself.

By Dav Pilkey

This book has more than one story.This has three stories.

The blue dragon felt so lonely and he went out to find a friend.He asked a black squirrel, a gray fat hippo and a grouchy crocodile to be his friend ,but they all said NO.He became so sad and sat under an apple tree.Then an apple hit his head and landed in his hand.

There was a green snake close by to him and he wanted to play a joke on the dragon.The snake hid behind a rock and said, "Hi Dragon".Dragon looked around,but no one was there."Who said that?" asked Dragon."I did" said the snake."Where are you?" asked Dragon "I am in your hand." said the snake.Then Dragon asked the apple,"Will you be my friend" and the snake said "yes".Dragon took the apple home,he made a cozy fire and started to talk to the apple.He talked day to night.Dragon made a midnight snack,he mixed cookies,orange juice and catsup.

Dragon woke up and tried to wake up the apple.But the apple did not wake up even when Dragon shouted at it.So Dragon called the doctor.Dragon took the apple to the doctor's office.They sat next to a big walrus.Dragon needed to have a drink,so he asked the walrus to take care of the apple.When Dragon was back,no more red apple was there.But he saw a white mushy thing..He became very sad.He covered it with a paper and ran all the way home.

When he reached home, dragon opened the paper and saw that the apple was brown. Dragon started to cry.The next morning,he dig the apple in a hole in the backyard. Dragon made a sign, and it said "FRIEND".He cried and cried for his friend.
Many months later dragon was sitting in the backyard lonely.He wished for a friend.Something hit his head.It was an apple!

PS.I am sure that the apple won't talk.

JUNIE B.,FIRST GRADER
TOOTHLESS WONDER
By:Barbara Park.

Hi!Iam back with Junie B.Jones and another fun filled day in her life!

Junie B. and her class were waiting for a speaker to come in their room.The speaker, Ms.Chris was supposed to speak on recycling.Her teacher,Mr.Scary told them to write in the journal till Ms.Chris came.Junie B.wrote in her journal,"Recycling is when you wash your trash,I believe".She didn't feel like writing anything more because she had a loose tooth and it was driving her crazy.Also,everytime Junie B.writes in the journal she had to look up for words in the dictionary.She felt so bored and started to wiggle her loose tooth.

Ow!She cried in pain when she pulled it a little.

Junie B.Jones went upto Mr.scary and told him about her loose tooth.He started to chuckle and told her,"And it's on the top too.",Junie B. looked puzzled."Why Mr.Scary,why?Because I lost a bottom tooth and I didn't get a kick out of it."Because when you lose your tooth your smile will be cute and when a new tooth comes in you will look like a big kid!".Junie B.felt so relaxed and happy on hearing his kind words.

At recess lots of kids came around to see her loose tooth.And Sheldon told Junie about his toothless uncle Lou.That story made her upset and she tried not to think about Uncle Lou.While she was walking home, Junie B. thought of a plan not to look like Uncle Lou.She planned not to wiggle her tooth any more so it would tighten up and won't fall off. She told her plan to Grandpa Miller but he thought it was a bad idea..Then he started wiggling her tooth.But Junie B.closed her mouth tight and bit Grandpa's finger.Ouch! Grandpa pulled his finger out and guess what happened?!Junie B.spit her tooth out!!

She didn't want to put her tooth under her pillow for tooth fairy.She just asked her parents what the fairy would do with her tooth.Her mommy told her the fairy might turn it to jewellery.That made no sense and Junie kept her tooth with her.The next Monday, Junie B.smiled at everyone.The whole class was happy about Junie B., her loose tooth and silly smile.

But her friends wondered why she didnot put her tooth for the fairy.They all told her the exciting stories of tooth fairy and cash.Still Junie was not convinced.Finally Lucille told her that tooth fairy had a hobby of collecting teeth and Junie B.found it sensible.That night she put her loose tooth under pillow!
The next morning she was surprised to see lot of money under her pillow.Another surprise was waiting for her.Her little brother Ollie got his first tooth!

Finally she understood everything .The tooth fairy "recycled" her tooth to Ollie!

PS. I lost my first tooth when I was a first grader.My sis slapped my face for fun with her stuffed dog Brawny and my loose tooth fell out.That's my tale for the day!

When she got on the bus to school, she saw her best friend Nicholas in meat loaves shoes and ketch up socks.They went into the clasroom.Everybody was wearing food as shoes.Even the teacher,Ms.Maganza had roasted chickens as shoes!

Then the Principal made an announcement that slipper salad,barbecued boots, frozen flip-flops would be served for the lunch.Yuck!No one want to eat shoes for lunch.So Pinky had to think big.Her head became big as the classroom.Then she came out with a great idea!She told everyone to eat their food shoes and to wear their shoes lunch!!

JUNIE B.,FIRST GRADER
CHEATER PANTS
By Barbara Park.

Here comes the world's funniest first grader,the one and only Junie B.Jones.I was introduced to her on my 7th birthday.I got a whole stack of Junie B.Jones' books from my parents.

"Weekend"-that is the nickname of Saturday and Sunday.Those days zoomed by quickly.
That's why Junie B. had got no time to do her homework.On Sunday night,Junie B. begged to stay up and do it,but her daddy just said "no" and turned off the light.
Now,at school Junie was wondering what to do without homework.Then she got this crazy idea of just copying down from the paper of May.May was sitting next to her, but she was never been nice to her.When she went to office,Junie copied from her paper.After that she turned her homework in.

Her teacher Mr.Scary,was not pleased about what Junie did.They had a long talk and a note was sent to Junie B.'s parents.Her mom and dad warned her not to be a "cheater pants" again, and signed the paper.

The next day Junie gave back the signed paper to Mr.Scary.On that very same day,she cheated on the spelling test!She sneaked into the paper of Herbert who was sitting in front of her.Herb saw how upset Junie B. was because she couldn't spell the word "would".So he showed his paper to her.

That night, Junie B. could not sleep well.She did cheating two days in a row.She became a "cheater pants" again.

On the next day, when she got on the bus,she saw Herb,tired,just like her with puffy eyes.They were feeling bad because they cheated.It was a horrible feeling!!.They told Mr.Scary what they did.Mr.scary was happy about their honesty.He was sure they won't cheat again.

Mr.Scary called Junie B.'s parents on the phone and told them what happened.Now Junie B.'s parents are happy about her honesty and Junie B. slept well that night!!

The lesson I learned is we should not cheat or we can't sleep at night.Cheating bothers us and others.So be honest.This is the moral.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB
By E.B White.
This is the story of Fern,Charlotte and Wilbur.
Fern , a very smart girl saved a pig from an untimely death,from the hands of her father.She got to keep it and she named it Wilbur.Then,Wilbur was sold to Fern's uncle who wanted to kill and eat him.
Luckily, Wilbur met a spider named Charlotte and she promised to save Wilbur.Can you imagine how she did it?
She tricked them,she wrote a message in her web saying that "Wilbur is terrific,radiant and some pig.soon he went to a fair and won the 1st place.
Charlotte went too and she laid an egg sac.Charlotte dies but before she did Wilbur took her eggs.The eggs hatched in spring,there were 514 baby spiders.Everyone left,
except 3.They were named as Joy,Aranea and Nellie.Even they had children, but none of them replaced Charlotte the greatest of them all.
I read the very same story just as a storybook and now as a chapter book.I even watched the movie with the same title.But whether the climax was the same,I doubt!
P.S If you look closely on the book,you could see 2 pink pig squishies from my collection.
PSS. Unfortunately one of the sqiushies covered Charlotte...I will be careful next time.

MAGIC TREE HOUSE # 6
AFTERNOON ON THE AMAZON
By Mary Pope Osborne

"Oh-Oh",said Annie.
"What?",asked Jack and looked up.A raindrop hit him in the eye.
"Oh-no,I don't believe this",Jack said.
"What'd you expect",Annie said,"It is a rain forest".

The above written is my favorite part from the book "Afternoon on the Amazon".This paragraph grabbed my attention because it was silly.

This book is about a boy and girl who named Jack and Annie who found a tree house.Soon they found that it belonged to Morgan Le Fa,and she was magical.She was under a spell.What will Jack and Annie do to free her?Let's find out..

This book is from the collection of my summer reading books.I liked it because while reading this book I felt like I was there with them.

HOW CHIPMUNK GOT HIS STRIPES
by Joseph Bruchac & James Bruchac.

This book is about a bear who said he can do everything.So a squirrel told him not to let the sun come up.But it came up !!

The squirrel teased the bear.The bear was so mad that he wanted to eat him.When the squirrel knew about it, he tried to run away.But the bear was fast and the bear caught up the squirrel.He laid his big paw on the squirrel and about to eat him.
Then squirrel said ,"if you let me go a little, I will say sorry".So the bear did so.

At that time the squirrel tried to run fast to his grand-mother.But the bear was right behind him.He was about to be eaten, but he only got some of his fur.Then he had stripes on his back from head to toe.He then looked like a Chipmunk !!

I got this book from Ms.Goodlesky, my first grade teacher.I like this book very much because it sounds real.My favorite part was when the squirrel got stripes to become a Chipmunk.
