'Lauren and Lucky' and 'Lily Alone' - reviews by Darcy

Lauren and Lucky, by Kelly McKain.

Lauren is an ordinary girl who would love to have the talent to ride. The luck is with her when she finds out her horse is Lucky. But will the luck stay with her? 
Lucky and Lauren were meant to be!

Lily Alone, by Jacqueline Wilson.

This book is just as it says in the title. Lily wants her mum to be happy (at least, that's what Lily thinks). That's until her mum becomes too happy and flees on holiday. Will Lily be able to keep the secret, or will she spill?

Stories by Sebastian and Joshua

Sebastian has written a story about one of the characters we talked about at the after-school club:

Once upon a time lived a wizard who liked to eat spiders. One day, he flew to the moon and stole it. He flew back to earth and turned it into a frog and ate it. Then he went back home and he saw a magic stone at his door. He got to a submarine which took him to dolphins. The dolphins danced and danced and danced forever and ever. He put some music on and lived happily ever after. 


Joshua has also written a story for our blog:

Once upon a time there was a poor man. He lived in the forest in a house made of straw. One day, he saw some people. They came to the door. Two people were carrying some food and some money. They were children. Sadly, he came to the door. Suddenly, in shock, he saw the children. The day after, they were there and they kept on coming and he became rich and he lived happily ever after. 


Thank you for your stories, boys. 

If you have a short story, poem or book review you'd like to see on the blog, write or type it and give it to Mrs Eyres, Mrs Dale or one of the librarians and we'll make sure we include it on here.
