The Magicians Elephant

Elephant Crashes Through Ceiling of Opera House

 

Baltese –  Yesterday, during a magic show while performing at the city opera house, a mysterious magician whose name is unknown made an elephant come crashing through the ceiling. The elephant broke both of Madam La Vaughns legs. After crashing through the ceiling someone called 911 and the police showed up to take the elephant away.

 

The magician said, “I only intended lilies.” but, how do we know if he only intended lilies if instead of lilies an elephant crashed through the ceiling. After breaking Madam La Vaughn’s legs the magician has been locked up in prison in a tiny prison cell.

 

There is a boy named Peter Augustus Duchene training to be a soldier by an old soldier Vilna Lutz. This boy said he needs to see the elephant to find his sister but, that makes no sense at all! We have no idea what he is talking about.

 

A police officer Leo Mantiene is helping keep the elephant away. We have no clue where the elephant is located now but we are sure it isn’t far away.

 

People all around the city are obsessed with the elephant. The bakers created an oversized pastry filled with cream and sprinkled it with cinnamon and sugar and called it an elephant ear. The street vendors sold the pieces of plaster that fell when the elephant fell. The puppet show in the public gardens all are about elephants crashing through ceilings. Even in the ballroom the men and women would dance a simple two step dance called of course the elephant.

 

Is this no ordinary elephant?


Maybe this elephant will be magical and enchanted.

I made a diorama for this book I cut holes in the sides of the box from three perspectives.

The Son of Neptune By Rick Riordan

Posted by

This is a map of the battle to free death so monsters can die and go back to Tartarus and stay there. This is my favorite scene in the Son of Neptune in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. The Son of Neptune is the second book in the series after the Lost Hero.

They need to free death. If they don’t there won’t be a way to win the war because the monsters would be immortal just like gods. The main characters are Frank who is son of Mars(Ares), Hazel who is daughter of Pluto(Hades) and Percy who is The Son of Neptune(Poseidon). Percy is brave and courageous(and maybe a little stupid too). It takes place in Alaska and is probably in about 2013/2014. The book is fast paced and you cannot put it down if you like greek mythology.

Middle School book 6 by James Patterson

Posted by

My book is Middle School book 6 Save Rafe! It is by James Patterson. In the video the main character Rafe is climbing a mountain because he needs to pass a training camp to go back to his old school that he got expelled from. He needs to go back because his new school that he goes to is closing so now he needs to go back to his old school. He needs to go to the training camp because the principal won’t let him come back to the school easily because they have very strict rules and he broke almost all of them. I would rate this book 4 stars.
