Ladybug Powers

Gets Her s Back

After Ladybug loses her fight, she wants

to get her powers back, so she goes to a magic crystal to do this! Ladybug has to go through another fight in New York and make sure everyone is in their home for safety

because there is a big storm coming! There is a temple in the sky of New York, and she has to make sure it doesn't fall on the people.

During her fight, she has to find a key to the temple that's in an empty building.

Ladybug and Sonic were at a hotel while everyone was in their home. Someone ends up finding the key with all the superpowers and gets all of the powers. But not anymore! Ladybug finds the person and fights to get the powers back, and they

destroy the entire hotel!

Ladybug stops for a minute and sees how ruined the hotel was.

Hawk Moth comes from somewhere and throws her on the ground and says, “This is over.”

Ladybug still doesn't have her powers and doesn't know what to do! The person who

5

has the powers has to touch the key again to return the powers, which the person does.

She goes up a ladder to get her powers from the key after and gets all her powers back!

The End!

The V

Villain

Then, she goes into a

cave and fights villains.

The first bad guy has a stick that is purple and blue and a cape. The next one has one eye that looks normal and one that looks crazy.

The third one has a book, and when he

throws it at people, they turn into pictures in the book.

All Ladybug has is her three friends to help her stop the villains. One of the friends is a villian and a nice person. Their name is Butterfly. The second friend is named

8

Super Butterfly. The last friend is named Bumble Bee. They turn into a person, and Ladybug has to fight the butterfly out of them. Ladybug has to flip the bad guys like pancakes, and she freezes the butterfly.

All three of the friends tried to fight the bad guys one by one, but it

wasn't working. They also found another friend that helped when they tried to fight. After they combined their powers, they defeated the bad guys!

She got a prize for that! Ladybug also has to make a cake to deliver to someone, but she forgot. Her

9

dad owns a bakery.

She has a pet that she has to feed to get her super powers, and if she doesn't feed the pet, she'll run out of her powers! So, she needs to find the pet and feed them to get her powers.

Ladybug vs

s. Hawk Moth

Ladybug is going

to train a lot and

then wait a year. She can work out and go on the treadmill to get stronger, so she can destroy the best supervillain. She has a big fight against him! Anytime the

supervillain goes to another universe, he can snap his finger and destroy it.

Ladybug can play a trick. She can use her superpowers to come up with a good idea to destroy Hawk Moth.

She can use a scarf

12

and glue to keep Hawk Moth from flying. Hawk Moth will try to use his powers to destroy Ladybug, but Ladybug will use her trick again and destroy Hawk Moth. After Ladybug defeats Hawk Moth, she frees a butterfly from Hawk Moth's home.

WORKSHOPS

We offer a number of free workshops taught by professional artists, writers, and our talented volunteers. From comic books to screenplays, bookmaking to radio, our wide variety of workshops are perfect for writers of all ages and interests.

One of the most popular workshops we offer is our weekly Wee-bots program for elementary-aged writers.

A way to figure things out by ourselves

We create a safe place to be ourselves and try new things We support the ways that writers work (like thinking, sketching, talking)

A way to help us connect to our world

We study the writing we want to do so we can try it We learn how to change our writing for genre, audience, and purpose

A way to help us learn who we are and who we will become

We work with a group of writers who help and support each other

A way for us to use our power to make changes and build a better world

826 National was inspired to take a stand on issues of inclusion and diversity in light of the many events that spotlighted social and racial injustices throughout the country. We as educators, volunteers, and caring adults need to be aware of the wide range of issues our students face on a day-to-day basis. We need to support these young people as they navigate through and try to make sense of the world and their own identities.

We need the support and the feedback from our community to ensure 826 is living up to these standards.

Through our inclusion statement, our internal diversity and inclusion group, cultural competency resources provided to staff and volunteers, and partnerships with other organizations, we are always working towards being a more inclusive and supportive organization.

We at 826 have the privilege of working with the next generation of scholars, teachers, doctors, artists, lawyers, and writers. It's our job to make sure they are able to take their own stands.

As an organization committed to encouraging youth in their creative expression, personal growth, and academic success, 826 National and its chapters recognize the importance of diversity at all levels and in all aspects of our work. In order to build and maintain the safe, supportive 826 environment in which great leaps in learning happen, we commit ourselves to inclusion: we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, nationality, marital status, English fluency, parental status, military service, or disability.

The 826 National network is committed to encouraging youth to express themselves and to use the written word to effectively do so. We encourage our students to write, take chances, make decisions, and finish what they start.

And 826 strives to do this in an environment free from discrimination and exclusion.
