Charlie’s Newsflash

Warning: This post has nothing to do with my recent books, my stories or writing competitions. If you came looking for some good books to read, look on the ‘recent books’ page.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

I have a good friend called Charlie who runs a news blog. It has everything from interesting discoveries that he feels are important enough to be shared with the world, to the outcomes of football matches. He is a great writer, so if you liked my blog, I am sure you will like his too! It would be very much appreciated if more people took the time to read his amazing posts.

World Book Day

Next week is- drumroll please– World Book Day! Yay! (Come on, you didn’t think I’d forget? This is a book blog!) I am going to dress up a Alice from Alice in Wonderland! What are you going to be? The comment section isn’t there for nothing!

Bella’s Diary by Sunni

1st day

Hello. I is Bella. I is NOT a baby! I is a toddler! I is a big girl like Sunni! Sunni is my big sister. I… ‘borrowed’… dis notebook from her. I hope she doesn’t find it and upload it to her book blog or anything like dat… I doesn’t know what the day is, so this is 1st day.

2nd day

Today was exciting! I sneaked upstairs and got in Sunni’s room! I… I saw a nice pen. It had a bunny charm and it smelled like cherries. I… I didn’t get stuck! I got… trapped between the cupboard doors. I had to wait two hours for Sunni to get out of bed and fish me out. She tickled me under the chin and I thought if I was cute enough she might let me have da pen, but she carried me downstairs and plonked me back on my bed. Mmf! I is not pouting! I is… grumpy facing.

3rd day

Today I went to get up Sunni, but she was already up. She was opening the front door and she had dis weird bag and she was carrying some toast. I ran up and hugged her legs so she couldn’t go anywhere. She plucked me off and put me on da floor. She told me something like, “I’m walking to school.” What on earth is dis ‘school’?! What is Sunni doing, leaving me for a whole 6 hours?! WHY does she go, anyway?! What does she do there?! I went into the garden, by myself, and played with a ball, by myself, until I got bored and flopped onto the grass. Just then I had an idea. I got up and sat on da swing for a bit, perfecting my plan…

4th day

Yesh! I did it! In the morning while Sunni was still brushing her hair I crept into the hall, opened her bag and got in. She has all dis weird stuff in there; notebooks, cases, folders and even an apple! Eventually I felt Sunni picking up the bag and carry me right out da front door! (-:< The apple may not have been so weird because I ate it and it was quite tasty. After a long time Sunni put down the bag and I heard her leaving. I sneaked out and looked around. I had been plonked on a table next to lots of other tables with chairs. I crawled around until I saw an open window.  I crawled out of it and dropped onto da ground. I spotted some people kicking about a ball and went over. I stole da ball! Haha! Unfortunately they was a lot faster than me and they caught up with me soon enough. They thought I was cute! I was outraged! Somehow they recognised me! They brought me to Sunni. Well, they almost did. I bit one of them on his ball-kicking foot and I got away. I ran as fast as my legs would take me, until I bumped into a really tall lady with dark browny hair and a cat face on a band round her neck. I thought she would take me back home, but she took me back into da room I started in and let me walk around. Somewhere a bell rang just then and about twenty people came in including Sunni. I expected her to be very cross and take me home, but she just stared at me for a minute and then laughed and said she was cross, but she was proud of my thinking. Then they all sat down in the seats and started scribbling in yellow books. I crawled across all their laps and they all gave me a hug or a pat or a nose rub. Then the bell rang again, and they all gave me a bit of banana or apple and one of them tried to give me a piece of lettuce! Euch! He got da lettuce back. In his face. After dat they took me outside and I went to play with the ball people I bit earlier in a big green court. I kind of played. They wouldn’t let me kick about the ball. I doesn’t know if it was concern for my safety, or the fact their faces would soon be meeting the ground of their green court if Sunni found out. Either way, it was still fun to get piggybacked around. Then da bell rang again again and they took me to a big hall and all of them was doing funny things like standing upside down! I bounced on a trampoline with all Sunni’s friends. Then the bell rang and they took me back outside and this time I went to go and play with some big girls and they put my hair in bunches and tickled me and hugged me. After that we went back in and we went to a big room full of books and every one read me a baby book each. Then da bell rang and Sunni took me home. In her schoolbag.

It’s all true. Pinky promise…

Bella and What She is Doing on the Book Blog…

I have a little sister called Bella. She is so, SO cute! Anyway, you may be wondering what on earth my little sister is doing on a blog about… books. Well, I wanted to introduce you to Bella so you can understand a post that will be posted soon. (Hint: It’s in the ‘short stories’ category.) The main thing is that she’s possesive. And I mean, like, push-her-best-friend-off-my-lap possesive. She hugs your knees when you’re going out, and tugs your hand when you’re going back in. She sits on your lap during breakfast and clutches you like a monkey when you want to go to bed. You get the picture….

I think that’s all you need to know. Bye bye.

I Want to Find Citrus by Sunni

This is based on I Want My Hat Back. A copy of this post can be found on the time machines blog.

Stealth Boy: I want to find Citrus. She put the time machine into hyper mode this morning. I need my revenge.

Stealth Boy: Have you seen Citrus? Courage Boy: No. I haven’t seen anything all day! I’ve been in my lab inventing! Stealth Boy: OK. Thank you anyway.

Stealth Boy: Have you seen Citrus? Typo and Error: No, master. Our scans do not detect Citrus. Stealth Boy: OK. Thank you anyway.

Stealth Boy: Have you seen Citrus? Commander Kitty: Wh-what?! No! I haven’t seen Citrus all… all week! I wouldn’t hide Citrus! Go look somewhere else! Wha- why are you asking me?! Go away! Stealth Boy: OK. Thank you anyway.

Stealth Boy: Have you seen Citrus? Silver Bat Boy: No, I- Hey! I thought we were enemies! Stealth Boy: Oh, sorry. You get back to your plotting.

Stealth Boy: Sigh. I can’t find Citrus anywhere! What if I never find her to get my revenge? She’ll have won! Super Boy: What’s wrong? Stealth Boy: I need to find Citrus to get my revenge, but I can’t find her anywhere! Super Boy: Can you still remember what she looks like? Stealth Boy: Yes. She has pink hair, a blue circle that looks exactly like the ones in the engine room, and- I HAVE SEEN CITRUS!!!! …*pant*… *puff*… You! You were hiding Citrus! Commander Kitty: I- KYAAAA!!

Some time later……

Courage Boy: Hey, Stealth Boy! Have you seen Commander Kitty anywhere? Stealth Boy: Wh-what?! No! I haven’t seen Commander Kitty all… all week! I wouldn’t Quantum Dagger Meteor Commander Kitty! Go look somewhere else! Wha- why are you asking me?! Go away! Courage BoyOK. Thank you anyway.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying yourselves. Maybe you got lots of cards, chocolates, flowers or teddy bears. But me? In a few hours I’ll be using my Valentine themed bath products.

I haven’t read any exciting new romantic books, so I’ll tell you a few facts instead. Like did you know the name Valentine’s Day comes from saint Valentine? Or that the image of a love heart comes from two human hearts joined together? Or that passion fruit is called that because- “Sunni! Why are you talking about PASSION FRUIT?!” If you listen, I’ll explain. The word passion means strong feeling for something or someone. For example, I have a passion for writing on this lonely little book blog! (By the way, we now have over 3 comments! Yay!) When you eat passion fruit, it makes you feel romantic for a few hours! I actually tried it once, and it worked! Wow!

Miss Mainland: Our Teacher

Miss Mainland is our teacher at school. She is fun and she is my favourite teacher! She actually set up the book blog for me.

In writing we always do different writing targets and are all in different groups (glitter pens, pencils, etc). In our most recent writing lesson we did similes and we made them more interesting by adding adjectives!

She also set up our class blog, Dhanial’s Time Machines blog, and Lewis’ Pokemon Blog (there are posts about these elsewhere in the ‘Home’ category.
