SHARK FIN RIVER

THE SEA GROVE REAPER [EXCERPT]

Madison Hassoldt Grade 3, Meridian

Chapter 3: Lavs went into the beach house. There, Quaint Pond (A.K.A. bird boy) was waiting for her. “Hello!” they said at the same time. “I call this meeting to order!” called their leader, Pepper Starless. Quaint had a sly smile as if he knew what Pepper was going to say. “There has been a disturbance in the grove,” she said. Quaint’s grin was a giant sun. “Quaint, Lavs, you have been assigned to the task,” Pepper inished. Lavs felt sick to her stomach. An hour later, she was in a bright-as-the-sun yellow room that smelled musty. Lavs was growing plants for the mission. She remembered her welcoming event, how Pepper had given her the necklace, and how proud she had felt.

Chapter 4: As Lavs was swimming into the approaching shadow, her mind worried. What if I can’t do this? What if I prove to be a failure? she thought. Her mind raced back to the memory of her mother growing lumps all over on her eyes, nose, mouth, and all over her skin. The popping sound as chia sprouted all over the spots where the lumps had been. He father yelling every bad name in the universe at her. Running away from all she knew, weeping. Quaint was the last thing she saw before she passed out. Then she woke up. She was in a completely white room. Not even her shadow had followed her here. She was in the chamber of eternity. Just then, she saw something that blew her mind. It was half-Quaint, half-reaper. “I challenge you to a battle,” said Quaint. “On the terms that if I win, you leave the sea grove alone,” said Lavs. “Game on,” he said dramatically. Reaper pulled a knife out and viciously cut her. Blood oozed out of her wounds on her arm, on her leg, and on her chest. Lavs was losing, but she couldn’t let him win. She summoned her core magic. Lavs threw bright laming ivy at Reaper, then imprisoned him in a giant Venus lytrap, turned him into a leaf, teleported him into her hand, and tore him apart. 33

THE CURSED SISTERS

Aubrey Yang Grade 3, Boise

Chapter 2: Atlantis’ Perspective We looked inside the vault and saw rollerblades for Amethyst, roller skates for me, and a skateboard for Sapphire. We all said, “WOW!” “Let’s go and use them at the park!” I said. “That’s a good idea. Mom’s at her friend’s house, and Dad’s in a meeting!” Sapphire said. “Let’s go to the park now!” We geared up and went. Sapphire’s skateboard rolled away. It went and stopped at the stop sign. We chased ater it and picked it up. Then, Amethyst said, “Who are you?” to a strange man.

Willa Swank Grade 3, Boise

Chapter 3: Amethyst’s Perspective The strange man said, “I’m Mr. Lupin.” He gave us each one note. The note said:

You have been invited to come to camp. Meet me at Railroad Crossing tomorrow at 12:00 a.m. You have been invited to train with us. —Mr. Lupin

“Wow,” I said. “This is awesome. Our ancestors were the founders of this camp and property! I’m in.” “Me too,” said Atlantis. “Cool, we will see you there,” I said. “Right?” “Yay,” said Sapphire. I go to sleep, and the next morning I eat a big breakfast. I inish packing and inish doing my summer school homework. I eat a small snack. Then I take a nap, and ater my nap, I get a ticket online to get on the subway that will take us to Railroad Crossing. I get on the subway with Sapphire at 11:00 p.m. On the train, we play games like Candyland and Clue and eat food from Fanci Freez. We get there at 12:00 a.m. on the dot. Atlantis gets there two seconds ater us. When we get out of the fast train, Mr. Lupin steps out of the fog.

Chapter 1: Sapphire’s Perspective “Wake up!” my sisters Amethyst and Atlantis yelled. Oh, right. I’m sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sapphire Black Maylower. My sister is Amethyst Jewel Maylower, and my other sister is Atlantis Wave Maylower. I have black hair that is almost always in a braid and blue eyes. Oh, yes, now where was I? Oh, right! So, should I be evil or good today? I think I want to be evil. So, what should I do? I have to do something evil. Oh, I have an idea. “Let’s go ind our birthday gits and open them,” I told my sisters. I forgot to mention that July 23rd is our birthday. In one week, we are turning eleven. Amethyst said, “I know where Dad keeps them. In his oice in his vault!” Then she said, “We need the code, and I can do that!” I said, “I think you can do that. Let’s go!” So we decided to go in Dad’s oice. We opened the doors and stepped in and closed them. Atlantis said, “It smells like peppermint. Oh, I found the peppermint box.” We headed across the room and stood in front of the vault. Amethyst whispered something in Atlantis’ ear. Atlantis sang, “I love my daughters,” in a French accent. Then the vault door swung open.

Chapter 1: Dewlish Days The winds were raging. The yells and screams were adding to the loud noises of the great dragon’s ire. The savage beast roared and swung its claws at the buildings. People ran like rabbits around the ruined city. Nearly no one survived. The captain ran into the room, “Sire,” he said, “Our forces are no use. What can we do against the dragon?” “Let the people run,” said the Dewlish King. “The people need to run away from their inal days. You should too. We will all inevitably die, so die with your family.” “Sire…” Then the castle was destroyed. The great nation of Dewland was destroyed during the Doomsday. It all happened 67 years ago, when the gods let the world. Monsters ran amok in Homeworld. The priests lost their powers as the Holy Magic vanished. The irst 10 years, people were running, afraid of monsters or attacking the monsters. Then Dewland was destroyed. Goblins and giants overtook the ruins, as humans ran and made new settlements. The dwarfs and elves only protected their kingdoms against monsters such as wyrms and dragons, keeping their heavy traditions. The king of Eiland, King Lewiston, found great heroes willing to go across Homeworld to ind out why the gods let. ***** “Hey!” said the guard. There had just been a robbery in someone’s shop. The thief had a dark cloak with a hood over his head. He began to run. The guard switly blew a whistle, as other guards got in position. But suddenly the thief disappeared. The next day an investigator came. She studied the footprints, but they continued from where he had ‘disappeared.’ “Probably some sorta sorcerer guy,” said the detective, Alexandria. “The prints continue to the abandoned inn.” They walked toward the shed and heard an evil plot. “If we get the bows,” said one, “we will shoot it through the window upstairs. Then on the Dewlish memorial we will kill the king.” Alexandria gasped. She ran and told the king and he was ininitely thankful. The king said, “Alexandria, you have solved many crimes with expertise. Do you want to ind the gods?” She was the irst godseeker, or group of people who will 39

ind why the gods let. But she had a secret. She was a criminal herself.

A PORTAL TO MARS

Joseph Michaels Grade 4, Boise

Coner and his crew were on an exploration to Mars to ind a portal. Before the crew let Earth, the mission commander told them a portal exists. An asteroid hit their spaceship and they spun out of control. Inside of the spaceship it was rumbling and spinning but Coner and his crew were not injured. Coner was ine because he went on many adventures with his dad. The spaceship was spinning and then they crashed. The big boom could be heard from a mile away. The crew popped open the door and climbed out to search the area where they crashed. They saw the red sand and a tall red mountain looming in the distance. Coner knew that it had the portal and he was excited because he could complete the mission and get back to Earth. They waited until it got dark and attempted to get to the portal. It was pitch black, with no wind or birds. Then they saw the cave. They hid in a crater and waited to get closer to the cave until the guards looked the other way. The black knights had big horses with black armor. Coner knew that the black knights had already found the portal and stayed there because they wanted to have the portal to themselves. There were only two black knight guards and all the crew had to do was to go around and sneak in quietly. They got caught seven times and on the eighth time they snuck past all of the horses that were sleeping and got close to the portal. In the last ive seconds the guards saw them, and all the horses chased them. Coner and his crew just made it and they thought that they would just plop on the ground but they got to Earth.

Chapter 1: How the World Split The enchanted world of Enchantia was once all beautiful. The trees bloomed, the grass was green, and all the creatures got along, even the scary ones. One night the king passed away due to some strange illness. Ater weeks of grief there was one thing to be done: pick the new ruler. The king had twins, one girl and one boy. There was a ight. “I should be king,” said the brother. “I am stronger. I can protect the world with my dragons.” The brother did do dragon riding (their national sport), so he did know a thing or two about dragons. “I am older and wiser,” said the sister. “Only by 20 seconds,” retorted the boy. “I can protect them with my plants,” said the sister, pretending she had not heard him. The ight went on for hours. Finally they agreed on one thing: to split the world in half. The brother took the scarier creatures and went west. The sister took the good creatures and went east. In this way Enchantia split into two realms.

Chapter 2: Bella Bella, a normal girl who had no abnormality whatsoever, worked part time at her father’s cofee shop, the Cofee Cottage. It was a small cottage with tables, a bar to order stuf, and food. They lived in a small town in New York State called Ogdensburg. Not a lot of people lived there so they didn’t make a lot of money. Bella, who was turning 11 tomorrow, woke up in a happy mood. She sang, “Happy almost birthday to me” lightly under her breath, crossing of a day on her calendar. She heard a thud downstairs and hastily hurried down the stairs. “Don’t look!” Her father cried. “Why not?” Bella inquired, covering her eyes. “It’s…. It’s… nothing!” Her father said hastily. “If this has anything to do with my birthday…” “No. It does! I mean, doesn’t!” Bella came downstairs and saw a beautiful half-made mirror.

“Daddy!” said Bella breathlessly. “It’s from your grandmother,” said her father.

THE DUMP

Oliver Bullard Grade 4, Boise

Chapter 1: It was a scorching hot day. Green Bug was baking hot. Then he heard a noise. The noise of a crackling ire. The noise of crunching. The noise of something alive. Green Bug snuck toward it. He brushed two pieces of grass aside to ind a face glaring down at him. “H - h - hello,” Green Bug stammered. “What are you doing?” The face yelled. “Trying to steal my food?” At the mention of food, Green Bug started to drool. “N - n - no, sir.” “Oh, good. M’ name’s Finley. Finley the Adventurer.” All of a sudden, they heard a growl. A Turfmukkin emerged from the tall grass. It snapped at Green Bug. “Quick, over here,” Green Bug yelled, pointing to a patch of dirt. The Turfmukkins struggled, but couldn’t get through the dirt. Then Finley sprayed the rodent with a liquid and it disintegrated the Turfmukkins. “Wow, ya saved me,” Finley said. “I am forever in yer debt.”

Chapter 2: It was gradually getting less hot. The two friends had been traveling for WEEKS! “How much longer?” Green Bug moaned. “An estimated 300 acres,” Finley said. “Luckily, no Turfmukkins live here,” he sighed. “Okay, thank goodness,” Green Bug cheered. They pitched their camp and fell asleep almost instantly. In the morning, they packed up and walked away from their site in complete silence. They walked, and walked, and walked. And just kept walking, at least until they heard a wail of gibberish.

“Gibbershawnokertzoocvommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!” “WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT!!?” Finley yelled (at the top of his lungs). Then, they saw a rainbow ball of luf with oval eyes popping out of the top of its head. He had arms, legs, and a big smile on his face. “Ah! It looks like we’ve arrived,” said Finley. “It smells like garbage and seawater.” Green Bug exclaimed, “Gross!”

Chapter 1: The Human Attack “One, two, three!” shouted a thin man with brilliant brown hair and a sky blue tie dangling from his neck. A rocket was about to take of. There were many chairs gathered around the rocket with millions of people sitting in them. “Go!” the same man shouted. Suddenly, loads of ire busted out of the bottom of the rocket. All of a sudden, the rocket darted into the sky and went higher and higher. Everyone clapped and applauded with smiles spread across their faces. Meanwhile, the rocket landed on a gold shiny planet which smelled like chicken nuggets. As the door opened, the irst astronaut stepped out. When he took the irst step, he felt like he had stepped on a water balloon. “Hey, watch where you’re going!” said a squeaky voice behind him. As the astronaut turned around, he saw a real-life living chicken nugget. “Ahh!” the astronaut shouted and quickly ran, grabbing some chicken nuggets along the way. The chicken nuggets made a big scowl. When the other astronauts had heard the irst astronaut scream they thought it was a big danger. They busted out of the spaceship with AK-47s and screamed, “FBI, open up!” The astronauts shouted in random directions. “Ahh!!!” screamed some of the chicken nuggets. Some of the nuggets darted to a red button which had a yellow H on it. This button was no ordinary button. This button was a human alarm. One of the chicken nuggets slapped the button and the chicken nuggets gathered up and pulled out french fry shooters. They started shooting rapidly. The astronauts quickly ran into a nearby cave. In the cave, the astronauts heard a low growling sound. Then they saw glowing beady eyes pop out of the darkness. Suddenly, a giant chicken nugget with razor-sharp teeth, a french fry as his tail, and jagged spikes going down his back appeared. “Oh my Nugget—” whispered one of the astronauts. “—zilla!” said another. 44

BATTLE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, VOL. 1: THE RETURN OF SATURN [EXCERPT]

Caleb Mitchell Grade 3, Mountain Home

Jace and Abby ran towards the astronauts. “Who is this, Jace?” the astronaut said. “Abigail,” Jace answered. The astronaut, who had just spoken to Jace, hit the SHOOT button on his machine and shot at D-1997. D-1997 took one more shot at the exoskeleton, and then lew into the distance. A rumble sounded. The astronaut on the land speeder said, “It’s Titan. We built it so it should be good.” When Titan came into view, it looked like a massive war machine. Guns were everywhere. Titan shot at them. “Take cover!” Jace yelled. “I’ll open the hatch.” A small door opened in the moon surface. Jace, Abby, and the astronauts jumped through the hatch. The astronauts ran toward little screens and buttons. The astronaut who had met Jace said, “My name is Percy. Follow me.” Jace followed Percy to a little screen. Percy pressed a button. “Do you want to use this gun?” Percy asked. “Sure,” Jace answered. Percy showed Jace how to use the gun. Looking through the screen, he could see what was happening. Pressing the SHOOT button, he blasted one of Titan’s guns apart. An explosion next to him alerted him that if he shot them, they would shoot him. Blasting two more of Titan’s guns and being nearly shot, Jace was alerted that Titan was about to launch asteroid ships. Titan rumbled. A door opened. A battalion of asteroid ships shot out, and Jace shot at one. A small column of smoke rose. Jace shot at it again, and it blew up. A small plume of smoke was in the air. Jace was alerted that two of Titan’s guns had been destroyed! Jace was also alerted that one of the moon’s guns had been destroyed.
