Strange Characters My Autobiography By Sam T., age 10
2
Hello, my name is Robert and I sell cheese. Please don’t judge me because of how I smell, OK? Now I will tell you about my life. I grew up as an orphan. My mom and dad abandoned me, and my best friend was a slice of cheese. But not anymore, because I ate him, because I was too hungry, so I found another slice of cheese at the orphanage. The orphanage only served cheese and crackers. Boy, it was so sad, because they had to sacrifice themselves because they were cheese, only blocks of cheese. When you were bad, the people who ran the orphanage would throw crackers at you and whack you with crackers. I was raised there with a simple diet of cheese and crackers. So that’s the end of my story. Never mind, I have more to say: Before every meal they would have a vote of who would be sacrificed for each meal. Done.

The Kind Owl By Chloe, age 9 Once upon a time there lived an owl. She loved other animals! She would help other animals get food and help them find shelter too! Lots of animals said that she was friendly, kind and very thoughtful. Animals loved her! One day she was finding a shelter for her friend and she found a magical thing. “What could it be? It looks edible,” thought the owl. So the owl ate it. “Mmm,” said the owl. “Wait, did I just talk? Um. . . I think I did!” So, she told her friend and they were surprised that she could talk! The owl was very curious about how that happened. The owl was very happy that she could talk. She said to herself: “I basically have everything! I’m very happy about what I have though!” Her friends and family were very happy that she had the ability to talk and they were very happy for what they had!

Big Monkeys By Emma V., age 11 I was sleeping on the airplane on my way to Peru when somebody said, “Whoa! I those are some big monkeys!” I thought, “Oh, that’s cool. I must have heard wrong.” When I looked outside, I saw these three giant monkeys! There were two babies and an adult. The adult was wearing glasses and eating a carrot, and one of the babies had a banana peel and flies on his head, and the other had a top hat!
WE-Fall-Chapbook-2015.indd 4
Back to the beginning. When I said “big,” I meant really big! The mom was about as tall as the CN Tower. It took me a minute to recover from that experience. Then I went to the captain to tell him to tell the pilots to fly up more so we didn’t get crushed to smithereens by some giant monkeys.

Millionaire Mystery By S.F., age 9 One day, 17-year-olds Madison and Lulu where window shopping at the mall, when all of a sudden an alarm went off at Brooklyn Jewelers. They quickly turned their heads to the shop and just caught a glimpse of bright red. “Hmm… That was weird,” said Lulu. “We should tell the Agency about it,” said Madison. Madison and Lulu were a part of the Agency (well, right now, they were washing dishes, but still). The Agency was a spy club that they had just recently joined, but because they were only 17, they could only clean the lab, but they were lucky they even knew about the Agency, but that was because their father was the leader of it. Lulu and Madison had tried to make their dad let them actually do something, but he said in order to do that, they needed to find a good story and then solve it. Or maybe, just maybe we could solve it by ourselves,” said Lulu. To be continued. . .

If I Were an Astronaut By Joe, age 8 I’ve been studying space for two years. I can’t go to space because I’m too young. Now I’m studying space from TV. In a station, you have to have at least two hours of exercise every day. If you don’t, when you get back to Earth, you’ll think there’s no gravity and you will jump, then you will fall down. Hint: It at least takes four months to recover. Don’t be afraid it’s not a life time.

Chapter One: Alone in the Forest By Sabrina, age 10
16
Trembling. The earth was trembling. Rocks flew wildly in the air, and trees almost fell. Branches from both the oaks and the pines swung off the trees, picked up by the powerful winds. A red fox yipped with fear, the sun in the sky scorching his back. He struggled to not be pulled away by the forces of the earthquake. But below him the ground cracked, making an unforgettable sound. Screeching with terror, the fox quickly jumped away from the splitting ground. He dove under a pine tree’s roots, trying to forget about the troubling world beyond the safety of the tree. Four hours had passed. Four long hours. The fox slithered out of the thick roots and peered around himself. The once-beautiful forest looked fatal to step into. Leaves were scattered on the ground. Fallen trees rested on the soft grime, and thorn-sharp branches stuck out of the ground like swords. The thing that bothered the fox most was the scent of dead beings. Lifeless animals lay before his eyes.
WE-Fall-Chapbook-2015.indd 16
The only alive scent was him, and another. . . What could it be? Quietly, he quilted toward the other scent. Stepping between two elder bushes, he saw a black wolf. The other animal’s haunches were dressed with scarlet liquid, along with her shoulder. It only took a few heartbeats before he noticed a stone sticking out of her side. He gasped, observing her with curious, concerned amber eyes. She moaned, clearly in pain. “Are you okay?” he asked, moving his muzzle closer to sniff. In reply, she moaned once more. He could only catch the word “hurt” in her short, mournful wail. He gripped the stone that punctured her skin and pulled it out, flattening his ears when he heard her ear-piercing cries. Then, suddenly, silence broke out between the two. They were alone in the forest; no other animals had survived.

Epic Battles Superlama 2* By Carter, age 9, and Dave E., his volunteer mentor
20
Prologue Superlama and sidekick SBWRSE (an alien name pronounced Spew-or-say) have, for three years, battled so much space crime that they’ve gotten bigger, faster and stronger. Now they have to battle Superevil Pigman (SEPM), their trickiest enemy. They have battled lots of times, always winning, but SEPM always gets out of jail in at least three days. SEPM, at his home near a black hole (any person who tries to come gets sucked in), has finally concocted a master, diabolically evil plan to destroy Superlama and SBWRSE! He’ll battle Superlama again, go to jail, get out of jail, defeat all the guards in the jail and use his psychic powers to bring all the dead guards together into one giant dead monster. SEPM will transport the monster into his lab, make it live and turn it into his Superevil Giant Slave (SEGS).
Meanwhile Superlama is in his crime-fighting liar, drinking coffee with SBWRSE, waiting for the crime alarm to ring. Crime alarm rings! Superlama sees on the crime screen that SEPM is wreaking havoc among Superlama’s neighbours with SEGS. Superlama and SPWRSE go out to fight, and the battle takes them into the middle of space. All of them are bombarded by atoms that weigh as much as three Empire State Buildings. They crush them under their weight. SEPMand his monster are defeated, but Superlama and SWRSE just fake their own deaths. The King of Space makes Superlama the New King of Space for his show of strength and fearlessness and smarts and defeating the most evil space criminal in the history of space. The End. (Sequel: Superlama 3.) *See Superlama: The Movie for backstory.

Veggie Village and Mr. Evil Cookie By Julianna, age 11
22
Monday, April 15, 2008 “Ugh, school again,” goes Broccoli as always. We sat in the back row of our grade 6 classroom, together like every year. All of a sudden our teacher, Yam, walked in with this new girl. She had rosy red hair with pigtails, high-waisted shorts and a tank-top, which was not the dress code. Ms. Yam asked the girl to tell everyone about herself, so she stood up and said, “Hello, I’m Kale and I’ve transferred from Fruit Village to Veggie Village,” which was strange. Then, in the middle of her sentence, the bell went off and everyone ran off. Me, Broccoli and Cucumber were walking to our usual spot when Kale came over to us. She seemed desperate for friends. We said, “Hello,” and she just waved and went past. She was headed for the library. Dinner I sat down in my usual spot at the dinner table. I was eating my food when my parents asked how my day was. I replied, “It was very good.” “Anything different happen today?” “Not really. Only there’s a new girl at school.” “Tell us about her.” “Her name is Kale and she transferred from Fruit Village to Veggie Village.”
WE-Fall-Chapbook-2015.indd 22
My parents said, “That’s odd, Fruit Village is for fruits and she’s a Kale!” “Well, that’s what she told us. We did say hello, but she just waved and went into the library.” Tuesday, April 16, 2008 The next day at school, Broccoli and Cucumber were going on about something. They were saying stuff like, “Kale went into Cookie’s lair,” “Did you see Kale at that secret stairway?” and, “It was weird.” I walked away to head to the library. I looked down all the aisles and I couldn’t find Kale. I walked down the stairs to the basement, where the washrooms were, and I heard Kale crying in the bathroom stall. I knocked on the stall. When she started to open it, she said, “Sorry for all the noise.” I said it was fine. I asked if she would like to hang out or anything and she said yes. Broccoli and Cucumber saw us walking down the hall, laughing and talking. Cucumber joined in with us but Broccoli stayed behind a few steps. I told her to come, so she did, and we all laughed and chatted. Wednesday, April 17, 2008 I saw Kale and she came up and of course we talked again. We are BFFs. I texted

Then out of the blue, another building falls over, as well as a plane that almost smooshed them. So they raid the plane, and Joe finds an artificial leg so he puts it on and now he can walk. Meanwhile, Cody finds a med pack and some weapons. And he gets attacked by Americans and one of the Americans calls for reinforcements and Cody thinks that there’s too many, so he gives Joe a hover board and rides on his own to Mexico, which would take so long cause they’re in Canada.
