I read this story to my first and second grade granddaughters. They loved reading about what fifth graders do and laughed out loud about the ending. It was fun to listen to them guess what was going to happen next! Thank you for sharing it with us,Jewel Sample
How cool that you shared the story with your granddaughters. I’m so glad they enjoyed it…especially the ending. Endings are one of my favorite parts of a story to write. And a good ending can make or break a whole story, don’t you think?Cindy
