Elizabeth's Letter Take 2

Dear Ms. C,

I just finished a book called Over and Out. I like this book because there’s this girl, Jenna who loves the sport soccer. Color War is coming up at the camp and Jenna’s number one category is SOCCER! But when’s she’s out on the field one day at soccer practice, all goes wrong when Jenna is running through trying to get the soccer ball as it flies through the air. But then Jenna accidentally step’s in a old ground dog hole. The next thing we know Jenna is lying on the ground in excruciating pain. The nurse comes out and start’s doing her poking and prodding, but when she gets’s to Jenna’s left calf. Jenna let out a long scream. The nurse stand’s up and tells Jenna’s bunk counselor that Jenna will have to be taken to the emergency room. But Jenna protests. Then she finally agreed by them telling her that her leg could be broken. Turn’s out that it was just a hairline fracture. This is what Jenna dreaded she had to have a cast and she had to have crutches. But as soon as Jenna stepped out of the van she was swarmed by her best camp friends and her twin and her older sister and that made her feel much better. As soon as she got back to her bunk bed she went straight to sleep. Every morning after that when she woke up she would try to imagine that she did not have on a cast anymore and that the accident never happened, but it never worked. She decided that at the soccer practice game she would be her bunks team coach. Her team always lost the game. Every day her team lost because they complained of the blazing sun. But she still pressured them on. Jenna was so jealous that she got in a fight with her best camp friend, Alex who was the soccer star whom she had known for 5 years straight and had a major crush on Jenna’s twin brother, Adam Spasm. Jenna was also known as the master prankster of Camp Lakeview thought about pranking her new frenemy and brother but no she didn’t. But it seems as though someone else had done the prank and she had been pinned the culprit! Alex and Adams clothes had been switched. Alex came storming in Jenna’s cabin and she had an over sized clothes on and another pile of Adam’s clothes in her hand. Boy was she mad at Jenna. But Jenna protested that she did not do it> Then Adam came stormed in noticed Alex and blushed right down to his Adam’s Apple. You went to far this time Jenna. Said Adam. But I did not do it yelled Jenna! As it turned out Jena really did not do it. It was the new spoiled rotten bratty new kid Blake. So that’s all I can tell you about the new book “Over and out”!

From,

Elizabeth

  1. Dear Elizabeth,
    I have noticed that you read books with a lot of very active characters. By that I mean that they play a lot of sports or ride horses or things like that. They are "outdoorsy". Is that because you like to be outside playing? I know that I LOVE to be outside. The weather we have had lately is just about to make me bonkers. They may need the white coat for me and everything. :) I am wondering what it is that you like about this Camp Confidential series so much? It isn't that it is a bad thing that you like it... I am just wondering if it is something that the author is doing with her craft that keeps you interested or if you just like the idea of camp in general. Either one is fine, I'm just curious. Would you want to go stay away from home at a camp? I think that after a while I would get tired of the same people all the time. I would also get tired of not having any real privacy and having all these activities scheduled. I have always been a bit of a loner I guess, even when I was your age. I read a lot of books, because I liked being able to close the book on characters when they were annoying you. I also lived in a pretty rural area, so there weren't a whole lot of kids nearby to play with. If I wasn't reading I was exploring the fields and woods by my house. That was fun, but mostly I still did it alone. I guess I wouldn't have been very good at the whole camp thing now that I think about it. I definately wouldn't be good at soccer because gravity is not my friend! That is why I like swimming. It is more difficult to get hurt swimming than playing soccer or just running. :) Gravity may not like me but I have a keen sense of self preservation. Ha ha! Can't wait to see what you read next!
    Sincerely,
    Ms. C
