The critics rave . . .

Fiona had to write a short story as a class assignment, which she entitled "The Water Door." Then, inspired no doubt by what she has learned from living in the household of a published novelist, she went a step further: she created a construction paper cover for it and wrote the back cover copy:

"When Madline find the water door of her dad's songs, she is irrisitably curious. Who knows what will happen beyond the door?

. Then she went to four of her friends and had them read it and blurb it:

"A story worthy of publication. Good for anyone who likes librarys" -- Linnea

"A wonderful story for young readers" -- Sydney

"An adventure worth reading!" -- Claire

"A story full of humor and adventure!" -- Anna

I certainly hope that her teacher found this as amusing as I do.
