He had warned her about the book. Now it was too late. She did not believe what Mr. Linden said about the book. The book was cursed. One night she read the book then she fell asleep. The book had a hand coming out of the page! The hand was reaching for her face. Then it got closer…closer then she woke up and chopped off the hand then she put the hand in the book and put it in the blender and all she saw in it was tore up pages and lots of green blood .That was the end of hand or was it?

He flew past Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. When he came to Earth he had a bad spirit and decided to change into a book. He crept into the library. A woman checked out the magical book. Now the book turned into a stalking man. He stole everything and went out of the NYC building. There was going to be much trouble in the city of NYC.”

Mr.Lindens Library
By Rachel

He had warned her about the book. Now it was too late. There she lay lifeless when Mr. Linden came in. He saw the open book by her side and thought how foolish she was to read it after his warning. He remembered the day she came in to check it out.

It had all started when she came up to the counter. She had given the book to him and told him that she wanted to check it out. Then he had given her the warning. He told her how that whenever someone checked it out they never came back. It was a curse that whenever someone touched the book a plant of some sort would fly out and strangle them. Still the girl had checked it out thinking it was some sort of joke. Three hours later Mr. Linden suddenly recognized the girl. She was the town schoolteacher! He realized he had to save her.

It was when he got too her house when he thought that he may be too late. He still went inside though. When he got to her room he saw that he was too late. Then he picked up the book and carried it to the dumpster because this time the book had gone too far.

A women name Miss Carm was buying a book.
She was sure that she was going to buy that book when Mr.Lindens
Asked her
“Are you sure that you want that book because
You have to be skilled with powers and magic to get that book.”
“No I’m sure that I can read that book because there is no such thing as
magic and power books “ replied Miss Caarm
“well if you say so but I’m just warnin’ ya.”
When she got home she opened the book of the mystery of
The missing wizards. There was a very big screech with vines
And sharp thorns!!! Miss Charm screamed loudly!!!!
There was peace in the air. Miss charm lay in not moving
An inch!! She wasn’t breathing an air!!
This was hope less Miss Charm was never going to wake
up. For a punishment for all her guilty mistake.
“He had warned her about the book. Now it was to late”
Now Miss Charm was a witch with nasty powers as her punishment.

Mr.Linden had told Kelly about the book and he had warned her about the book, but it was too late. After she looked in the book she was should have been in trouble but
She kept it away from telling him about her looking in the book. But her dad didn’t
find out so she was lucky. The next day her dad had found out because the page he had put it on was changed. Plus she was the only one in the house who was desperate about looking in the book. After her getting in trouble, she was grounded for a week. After her
punishment was over, her dad had told her specifically not to go in the book but she did.
After her punishment, her dad told her that she had to go return the book because it was
A library book. So she had to walk three miles to get to the library and three miles back to get home. When she got home her dad said that if she had done it again she will be in much much more trouble. when her dad told her that, she never looked in the book again.
