Princess Academy

Princess Academy

By Madison

Princess Academy was about a girl who dreamed of working in the quarry, but her father said she could not.  Miri was born small so she thinks that is why, she is actually wrong.  She just stayed at home and took care of the goats.  One day, soldiers came, and took all the girls under the age of 18, and forced them to go to an academy. 

          Whoever’s score was best would be Academy Princess and wear a beautiful, silver gown and dance with the prince first.  It was a three way tie.  So, Olana (the academy director) told the girls they could vote for the Academy Princess.  Of course they chose Miri because, she was the nicest.  The prince danced with all the girls and chose a childhood friend named Britta.  Miri finally found out that her Pa kept her out of the quarry because, her Ma died because of a Linder block fell on her in the quarry.  That very day her sister, Marda was hurt in the quarry.

          Once in the academy, bandits attacked.  They tried to steal the girls from the academy.  Miri found out how to quarry speak and saved them all.  In the end everyone was happy.

Double Identity

      Double Identity is very exciting and full of events. The little town Sanderfield, Illinois may look like just a small town, but really it has its own top story hiding in Myrlie Wilkinson’s own old house. Bethany Cole was left on Myrlie’s front porch by her parents. Poor Bethany doesn’t even know her. After three awkward days Bethany’s mother calls and tells her she is a clone of her dead sister Elizabeth. Bethany despising what she has heard runs into the night. Joss is Bethany’s cousin and is worried about her. Joss sprints after Bethany.

       Once Joss catches up to Bethany they both collapse on the church lawn. A strange man drives up to them and calls Bethany by name, which is weird because nobody knows Bethany in the town. After some strange days of confusion, on Bethany’s birthday she finally sees her parents, but she also sees Dalton Van Dyne. Dalton was an embezzler that was just let out of prison. He asks where his clone was. Bethany then realizes that her parents had received money from Dalton to make a clone of him but instead made a clone of Elizabeth. Bethany then told everyone that she was the clone. Dalton understood and ended up being their friend.
