My First Few Words!!

I’m writing a book right now, but I’m not sure what to call it. I would also like feedback on my first actual sentences in my book. A brief overview of the book; Charlotte Price is a 13 year old girl living the American Revolution. Her father is making plans to leave for the war, while her mother plans to hire her off to a rich old lady to work as a housemaid, for income. A dramatic turn of events leaves her with no job, no money, and no where to go.

Charlotte jerked awake. There was shouting and a pounding on the door. It’s around midnight, on April 19, 1775, in Concord, Massachusetts, and the American Revolution is about to begin.

“Who’s there?” Charlotte hears her father ask.

“Paul Revere,” a voice responds. “The regulars are coming! We need all the men we can get!”

“I’ll be ready,” her father replied.

Charlotte’s heart raced. Her father is a going to fight? Now? Sure, he is a minuteman, but why is he going now? He had been making plans to go to war, but she hadn’t expected it to be this soon. And now Mama is going to send her to live with the rich old lady who lives down the road. Since her father is fighting, she needs to go to work so they don’t end up on the street. How I loathe going to live with that boring lady! She’s practically a century old! One would think she would be dead by now, Charlotte thought. I sure hope I don’t have to work for her long, how dishonorable that would be! If people find out, I swear I’d die! 

Hopefully you guys like this. If you give feedback, please be honest. I’d rather have more negative comments and have them be honest rather than more positive comments and have them be lies. Enjoy!

I’M A READER!!!!

The last book I read was called “Connect the Stars”. It was about Audrey and Aaron, who both had “unsuperpowers”, according to Audrey. Audrey could tell every time someone was lying, and even had names for each type of liar. Poison Ivy Liar is one of the most common. Aaron knows everything. Well, almost everything. If he reads it or hears it, the fact is stuck in his brain for the rest of his life. These seem pretty cool, but if you’re like Audrey, you know every time your friend is lying, and it hurts. For Aaron, it’s when your Quiz Masters Team risks everything, and everything depends on you, but you don’t know the answer, you put their loss on yourself. They both end up at the same wilderness camp. They soon learn sometimes you have to get lost to find yourself. At the library I checked out “Unbroken” and “Copper Sun”. I had read Unbroken all the way through and knew it was a good, and I had started Copper Sun, but wasn’t given the chance to finish.
