Franklin F. Firefly

33 Comments/ 2961/ 0

This post is to prove something to my mom.   We were talking about things from the past, how I have always wanted to write a book, be published and my evident stagnation at producing said book.  I reminded her that in 10th grade I wrote a children’s book for Mrs. Young in Creative Writing  and she illustrated it.  She has no memory of that so I am hoping that once she reads this post and sees proof she will remember.  I am sure she will be cringing but hey—-my words are out there now and my lame attempt at a children’s book are forever going to be floating around cyberspace so she needs to share the fame.

Please keep in mind—-I was in 10th grade.   🙂

The cover which was not very sturdy and as a result I only got an Honorable Mention in competition.  Oh well.

There you have it—proof that my mom was an vital  part of my creative writing way back then and proof that I have kept this tattered book for 37 years.  Sad but true.

Keep an eye out for Franklin F. Firefly—it is firefly season!!!

Old Girls in Low Cotton

This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
