A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen


Recently I read Night Divided.  This book is currently my favorite book, and I give it 5/5 stars. It's about a girl in East Germany during the time while the Berlin Wall stood. A few days before the wall was put up, her father and brother go to West Germany to try and find work. But the day they return, there is a surprise to greet them.  All Gerta wants is for her family to be reunited. Will she find a way to see them again?

We LOVE to publish the work of Durham middle school students, and we're so excited to share the latest story from Caroline. Enjoy!  A Very Squirrely Birthday By Caroline M Chapter 1 : A Birthday Morning Hi, my name is Caroline and today is my eleventh birthday.    I woke up to see 3 presents on the floor. Excited, I quickly scrambled out of bed to open the presents on the floor. The smallest present was a purse with a leather strap. In the next box was some squirrel feed. I quickly ripped open the biggest present, and inside it was a squirrel hoodie that seemed to have a soft glow to it. I hurried to put it on and raced to the mirror to see how I looked, only to realize I was a squirrel!   Chapter 2 : Oh Nuts! Wait what, I'm a squirrel!?

I found my brother watching TV in his room but, when I opened my m...

The Dragon by Jasleen (Part 1)

We are so proud to publish the work of middle school students in Durham, NC.  Follow along as we post the rest of The Dragon by Jasleen, one of our Student Leaders.  The Dragon by Jasleen     Prologue :  The Attack The sun and breeze feels so good on my face.   I thought.  It reminds me of  a perfect summer day, Lilly playing and me relaxing.  Suddenly the sky went dark and I looked up.  Oh no, it’s back! “Rose, go grab your sister before the dragon gets her,” Mom yelled. I ran as fast as I could but when I was a few meters away the dragon swooped and grabbed her. “No,” I screamed, “Lilly!” She can’t be gone, this is all a dream! It’s got to be!  But it wasn’t and I knew it. I ran back to the house crying and saying, “She’s gone, the dragon took her!” I couldn’t say anymore and I started  crying even harder.  I am going to get her back!  I decided. Chapter 2:  The Truth I decided to only tell one person about whe...
