in the boo-boo lighthouse.
MYSTIC WATERS Nobody know why. The B-pops found some old moldy bananas.
“I chose this photo because I really like it.” They eat them anyway.
The B-pops find an old board game called snakes and ladders. Bry
says that the game is stupid because he can’t see any snakes (he
thinks it should be called “And Ladders”). The B-pops still played it
anyway. Their heroes are the pterodactyls. The B-pops want to be
just like them. “Wait,” says Billyanard, “do you hear that? It sounds
like the pterodactyls.” Finally the B-pops are saved. The pterodac-
tyls bring the B- pops to the P CHAMBER after they burned the
boo-boo lighthouse. And now “And Ladders” is published.

but for some reason he woke up in an old bed with white tiled walls
with lots of blood on the walls. He went out of the room he was in,
in the house with the trap in it. He ran out of the house and ran up
the driveway. He ran for hours in the wilderness. He stopped run-
ning, but he heard footsteps. There was a bush that he could just fit
in. He hid for about 3 hours then he saw the same demon creature
that was in the house. Then the creature took him by the neck and
said “You will never run away from me!” Then he ate him. But it
turns out that it was all a dream because he was found in a coma for
3 months, the doctor said.

to see it better. When I got pretty close to it I saw that it was not a
house. It was a lighthouse. I went inside.
Oh and I forgot my name is Sophie and I am 11 years old. I have 1
sister, a mom, a dad and 2 cats named Ope and Leo. Ok back to the
story.
When I got inside the lighthouse I saw a button. For some reason I
pushed it. I felt a shock but then I felt nothing so I just went outside.
I saw a flower so I picked it and then it turned into a beautiful bush
of flowers. So I kept on walking and saw a horse so I petted it and
brought it home. My mom did not like it, so I let it go. But then it
turned in to a unicorn. It made rainbows and we slid on it together
