Koala-Napped

Poached by Stuart Gibbs

NY-NY Today we have found out that Teddy Fitzroy has stolen Kazoo the Koala. Fun Jungle’s career is at stake with the stolen koala.

 Australia is very mad that Fun Jungle has lost their koala. Australian first had Fun Jungle have a permit for Kazoo for a couple of months. Fun Jungle went through a lot to get this koala, let’s hope the police find him soon.

Teddy says he didn’t steal the koala but the security cameras show that Teddy snuck into the koala habitat the night it was stolen so nobody else could have stolen it than Teddy. Teddy says, “Someone set me up! I promise I didn’t do it!”

The evidence is clear Teddy has stole the koala. All we need to do now is find the koala. We haven’t found this out in a while, Fun Jungle has put a koala stuffed animal to make the crowd think that nothing is wrong. Everyone is so mad at Fun Jungle for doing that.

Teddy is still trying to look for the real koala-napper but everyone thinks he is the koala-napper. He still claims that he is not the one who stole the koala. All of this is so crazy that we should leave it to the police.

THE NIGHT IN THE WOODS

Wonder by R.J Palacio

NY, NY- Breaking news, last night August Pullman got lost and was beat up and bullied by older kids in the woods, just because his face is deformed. But his friends stepped in and saved him and got out safely.

“August Pullman is no normal boy.” “He plays normal things and does normal stuff but he is not normal.” Via said.  “August Pullman was born with a facial deformity, but that does not stop him from doing things perfectly fine.” His mom said,  “When August was young he did not do things perfectly,  he barely had a chin and he could not eat or talk.” “But all August’s surgeries fixed those problems and our family calls that a miracle.” His dad said, “August was home schooled because he hated it when people saw his face.” “And I taught him,” his mom said.

“One night Mom and Dad decided said he might be going to school.” Via said,  “And later that summer they took took him to the school so he can see it.”  “August got really mad at us,” His dad said.  August met three kids who took him on a tour of the school. Their names were Jack, Charlotte and Julian.  

August got bullied a little but made it through the year. In the end of the year the whole grade went on a trip. August dreaded the trip and did not want to go but he went anyway. He was having a fun time, until the movie.

The night he saw the movie was a nice night but it was dark. When the grade got to the outdoor movie theater, it was announced they were seeing Mary Poppins. When the movie started, August and Jack went into the woods to go to the bathroom. When they were done they could not find their way back because it was dark. Then they saw their flashlights.

They came over to August and started to laugh and curse. At this point Jack was telling August that we should get out of here. But of course the older kids kept on teasing Auggie. Now Jack was mad and was telling the kids to back off. But the kids kept on teasing Auggie. By this point Jack was pushing the kids and the kids were pushing him back. And Auggie was just trying to reason with them but they didn’t care. Then out of nowhere Miles, Amos, and Henry stepped in and was trying to help. They just said let’s leave and that is what they did. But when they were trying to leave the kids grabbed Auggie’s hood and pushed him to the ground. Then Amos rammed into one of the kids and knocked him over. After, they ran out of there before the kids could hurt them anymore.

“It was the most I have ever been bullied.” August said.

SPY SCHOOL

Spy School by Stuart Gibbs 

NYC- Benjamin Ripley was attacked when he was going to school. Benjamin frantically dashed for the door to the school while Alexander Hale covered him. When he got inside the school he found a companion and made a discovery. His discovery was the school was under attack by 41 heavily armed people! He should’ve kept up his guard up because he was attack by a masked person.

That person was actually his companion. Her name was Erica. She asked Ben if knew how to handle a gun and he said, “I can handle my cousin’s BB gun well.” Erica sighed heavily and gave Benjamin a taser and taught him how to use it. Ben said, “How am I supposed to defend myself with a taser?” She responded only with “Welcome to Spy School.”

They snuck up the staircase but while they were in the middle of walking up the stairs, a black shadow emerged from the dark gloominess. Erica blocked off the shadow and she told Ben to go to the principal’s office and he said he would.

Another shadow emerged. Ben picked up a book and instantly calculated what angle he had to throw the book and hit the shadow in the head and continued to run to the office. He ran up the stairs into the office and locked the door.

As soon as he locked the door, six more shadows came with flashlights. He fried the computer with his taser and turned the lights out. Ben prepared to surrender to the attackers but accidentally bumped the door and made it unlock and all flashlights turned towards the sound he made. The lights turned on and the attackers knocked down the door. Ben curled up into a little ball.

At the end of the day it was only a survival test to see if he was qualified to be a spy. “I was so nervous that I would get kidnapped!” Benjamin Ripley said. Erica Hale was actually one of the principals of the test! She was not afraid of the 41 heavily armed people, even if it had been a real life situation.

Local Girl Tackles Bandit!

Sammy Keyes and the Art of Deception by Wendelin Van Draanen

KANSAS-Local girl Sammy Keyes tackled a bandit at the Vault art gallery in Santa Martina, Kansas on December Third, 2016.

All Sammy Keyes meant to do on December Third was to go to an art gallery for a “stupid” (as she says) junior high art paper, and she ended up taking down a bandit. Keyes had a paper due for her art teacher “Miss” Kuskowski. The assignment was to feel art. Experience it. Define it. But the only thing Keyes felt was the clothing of a bandit.

She went to the Vault with her grandmother Rita Keyes, and their friend and neighbor Hudson Graham. That night the Vault featured work from Tess Winters, Austin Zuni and Diane Reijden. Winters features in her abstract paintings, Reijden in her landscapes, still lifes and wooden sculptures. Zuni features in his paintings of the American Southwest and Native Americans. The bandit was carrying a squirt gun, though none of the people attending the gallery knew that. The bandit came in and told them to “FREEZE!” Then he tore some of the Reijden paintings off of her wall.

Keyes noticed a dark spot on the bandit’s coat. “I began to wonder, what if that was a drip of water? I had to find out for myself.” Keyes tackled the bandit. He snapped her tongue between her teeth, so all she could say was, “Its sus a swurcun!”

Keyes got on top of the bandit, who was wearing a nylon jacket and sneakers. She got the paintings and put them back on the Reijden wall.

Kuskowski was also at the Vault that night. Kuskowski said in an interview, “I was so proud of Sammy. I bragged to everyone that she was my student.”

Jack said they should go in the woods. “I don’t think we should go into the woods, we should wait,” said August. So August DIDN’T want to go into the woods. It was Jack’s idea to go into the woods. After they decided to go into the woods they met Amos, Henry and Miles. They all ran into some bullies. We have proof of what they said, “It’s Golem. Where did he come from. It talks too.” “Then it got ugly.”Henry explained later in his interview.

Amos jumped on the leader of the bullies and they were in a fistfight. Henry picked up August and ran. Miles called for them to run. August was really confused and he could not see. August lost his hearing aids in the process. We reporters went back to the farm and found his hearing aids. They were all destroyed and broken so nobody wants them anymore.

Amos, Henry and Miles were very nice to August after the incident.  They supported each other and were friends. Before Amos, Henry and Miles were just like some of the other bystanders to August. They clapped when August got his big award. They all treat each other like they are in the same gang.
