Hi HOLLYBRIDGETPEPPERMINT!

I looked at the guy thats going to play Artamis that you sent me! I think he's

great for the part!

By the way have you ever read the book Inkheart? Its a really good book! You

know how I told you that I'm making a book called The Haunted House? Well I

still am but I'm also making another book! I still don't know what the title is

going to be but I think that this book is going be even better then The Haunted

House.

she is the best for the part!

i just can't believe that dustfinger dies! (poor farid!) yeah about my book. its

about this girl named mindy readray icecicle and mindy had allways been called

by her middle name and of course eveyone at her school makes fun of her except

her best friend teresa. one day at school (she is only nine) she reads her

teachers mind! but even she doesn't believe in her powers... untill her mother

says that she really does have the power to read minds and that when she turns

fourteen she will be a super hero and will have to save the world! and if thats

not enough to make her head pop she also finds out that her best friend teresa

also was born into a super family! well what do you think? thats all i have so

far.

having their names capitalized doesn't mean EVERYONE likes it that way!
