Curious Cove Camp '09

Next week is camp. Its gonna be pretty exciting but then again pretty scary because of the teachers.
Our teacher Mr Madge has got a Hit List of who he's gonna prank at camp. I'm on his List as well. He's told us, when he went to other camps he put an eel into someone's sleeping bag. He got the biggest one he could find in the river and put it in a potato sack and put it in someone's sleeping bag. He said it would be funny if you wake up with only one eyebrow. That got me really scared. I also looked at his Hit List without him knowing. Now I think I'm on the top of the Hit List. I think I'm gonna get paranoid at camp. Me and my mates are thinking of ways to get him back or counter his pranks when he comes in our cabin.
Also, there's night line. This will probably be one of the most scariest moments of my life. The teachers and parents are thinking of something good to get us. Yes! We're gonna have a laugh at night line. (jokes.)
Oh and I nearly forgot. Mr Chamber's water gun. He's gonna come into our cabins and wet us with his water gun until there ain't no water left. I'll tell you more once I come back from camp which will be not that long away. Please pray for me. Thank you for your concerns.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is about a china rabbit called Edward Tulane who belongs to a ten yeard old girl called Abilene. Edward is a very vain rabbit who is very up himself. He has a whole wardrobe of silk clothes and gold pocket watches. When the Tulane family are leaving their home and moving Abilene's grandmother reads them a story about a princess who never loved just like Edward. When the Tulane family is on board the boat two boys take Edward and throw him overboard. While Edward was sinking to the bottom of the sea he has time to think about what sort of life he has lived, and that he has never loved anyone. Through Edward's journey he learns to love and hate and meets a variety of people including; a sailors wife, a hobo, and he has a variety of different jobs including; puppet scarecrow and many others. During his journey of around seven years he learnt one important lesson it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. Edward Tulane is a wonderful book about love and loss and out of all I would rate it a seven out of ten.
