Invisible Cat 1

Amelia Bertrand, age 10
Haisley Elementary

One morning, Invisible Cat woke up and heard Bobby talking to the evil headmaster, Vector the Viper. They were talking about a new rule for never going to the other world. They said that they were going to set up security cameras. Invisible Cat did not like this idea because he was a troublemaker.

Finally, all the talking stopped and he left his room to go find Bobby and talk to about this.
Bobby said, “Vector made this rule because a tiger tried to escape from our world. So now security cameras are being put up.”

Then Invisible Cat asked, “Who’s the tiger?”

“I’m not allowed to know,” said Bobby.

“Oh,” replied Invisible Cat.

Invisible Cat went downstairs to eat breakfast. There were pancakes, waffles, cat chow, bugs, fish, and carrots today. Of course Invisible Cat picked fish like every other day. She could pick tuna, salmon, or this disgusting fish soup with broccoli. So Invisible Cat picked tuna and will have salmon for dinner tonight. After she gobbled it all up, she went to find Bobby.
She reached the top of the stairs, when the cat heard Vector yelling. So as usual Invisible Cat was interested in what was happening. She headed up toward the room and noticed that Vector was yelling at a tiger. Invisible Cat knew that tiger, too, from playing bingo with him every Wednesday.


1915

Amelia Bertrand, 9
Haisley Elementary

In 1915 life was really hard. My house was very small like every other house. I have to share a room with my two older brothers. I do not like that. My school is also very small. The whole school shares one classroom in all the grades. The older kids in the school sit in the back and the younger kids sit in the front. It is very cramped. The clothes I wear are usually a dress. Sometimes I like dresses but sometimes I do not. I usually take a bike or a horse to school or a wagon and a carriage. Some of my favorite games are tag or hide and go seek. But my dress always gets in the way. The most hardest thing is all the work you have to do for your mom and dad. That is the life of 1915.

Piggy Pink

By: Amelia Bertrand, 9

Her shape is an oval. Her friends are Copper and Electric Lime. Piggy Pink’s favorite game is to play pig tag with pigs around her. Piggy Pink is really good at drawing pigs. Piggy Pink likes to eat cupcakes with flamingo pink frosting and mulberry sprinkles. Her favorite song is “Jazzberry Jam” because she wrote it herself. Piggy Pink is afraid of big fuzzy pink and plum monsters. For Piggy Pink’s birthday, she wants a very pretty pink computer that has ten gold stars on the front, back, and both sides. Piggy Pink goes to Haisley Elementary School. Piggy Pink’s mom is Plum and her dad is Raw Brown. She has two brothers whose names are Laser Lemon and Sea Green. Piggy Pink knows that she has to be invisible to spy on her friends, teachers, and family members. One day she went into her laboratory and she made a drink made of lemon silly spray and a piece of fur from a white kitten. Piggy Pink drank it and in fourteen seconds she turned invisible. The first thing Piggy Pink was going to do was spy on her mom. She walked over to her parents and heard them talking about her. She listened hard to figure out what they were saying. “I had a conference with Piggy Pink’s teacher, Mrs. Tumbleweed,” said Plum to Raw Brown. “She said Piggy Pink disappeared in class right before class was over.” “Wow, that’s weird,” Raw Brown replied. “Oh no!” said Piggy Pink. “They found out, hopefully they don’t talk to me about it.” Piggy Pink stopped spying on her parents so she would not get too scared. So she decided to spy on her friend Copper and have a playdate with Electric Lime.
