It’s time to conclude the fall 2009 howweirdcanyouget.com contest.
And the winner is . . . Beth, 11, who sent in a story idea that charmed me:
“My idea is a book about a girl, but she’s not an ordinary girl; she is a star shiner. She has magical powers but she doesn’t know it. She can create the temperature on earth. When she does find out she goes out of control and creates disasters around the world. Soon mother nature is after her and has her trapped in an imaginary world. Will she ever escape?”
Other lovely ideas worth an honourable mention:
Another from Beth: a spell to control minds.
And some great ingredient ideas that Griffith intends to work with:
from Beth, again: troll toe nails and ghost sweat
from Peter: lizard tail and rabbit tough!
Griffith says to Rachel:
A time machine is the hardest – my plans always fail. Any ideas for how to make it?
From my sister – this one always works:
Sister Solution
Guaranteed to make her run away FAST
one strand of naturally curly hair,
one ounce of spit from a mischievous child,
One can of sardines
one glop of peanut butter
Mix well and serve to older sister
(That would be me).
