Mosquito Chef
by Shalva (age 9), Adiv (age 7), and Elena (age 9), Illinois
Once upon a time there was a mosquito who wanted to be a chef, so he did. "Chef, yay." And then he got a cooking talk show on the Bug Network in Bug Land. But he kept eating every bug.
Mosquito Chef invited bugs onto his cooking show, "Now I have my own show and I show people how to cook. My first person is Bug, yep, his name is Bug."
"Hi Everyone, my name is Bug and I finally get to go on the most famous bug talk show of all time."
But Mosquito Chef was secretly eating bugs. "I am going to eat you."
Bug, "Aaahhh!"
This is how it happened. The bug that is getting interviewed has his interview done. But after the mosquito chef (by the way his name is chef mor skedow) he'd take them back stage and then eat them.
And then all the people would question where did that bug go.
The bug police found out it was chef Mosquito who was eating bugs the whole time. "Hey I remember you, You are a mosquito who keeps eating everybody. You are under arrest. You are going to jail."
But in jail he met a talking dog! And the dog had a plan to get out! So they went into the sewers and then they partied and danced.
The End!

A Planet in the Black Hole
by Tessa, age 7, Wisconsin
Allison looked online for advice, "Does the black hole have any planets?" Reply: No.
Then when she asked her mom, "Mom, does the black hole have any planets?" Her mom said no.
One day she went to outer space. She went to the black hole. And she went into the black hole and looked and looked, and when she saw a planet, she hugged it! Then she saw a banana on the planet. Then she saw a palace with a king banana, a queen banana, and of course, a princess banana, and a prince banana. Then Allison realized that this is a Banana Planet! The queen banana welcomed her to our Banana Planet in the Black Hole. The queen asked Allison, "Do you want to stay?" "Um..................yes! I want to stay," said "Princess" Allison. Ok but then right as "Princess" Allison went to her room, something happened to the banana villagers! The banana villagers got hypnotized by the oranges. And the bananas are saying, "I am an orange, we love you queen orange." Then Allison realized that the king was not hypnotized and she asked the king, "Could you pour this cup of medicine on the queen's head?" So the king did and the queen got cured. And the villagers thanked Allison so much and she would visit every day. The end.

Opposite World
by Halina, age 7, China
McShaggybutt says, “I wear a mixer. And I cook with a dress. Oww, the mixer mixed me! Oww, the dress burned me! I’m so angry at my mixer that I planted it in the ground. And now I’m going to water it so much so it doesn’t grow. I’m going to bed, and I’m sleeping in a dehumidifier. And the bed is getting all the water out of the air for me. I waked up! I’m going out for my morning walk. Oh no, a giant mixer grew! Well, I guess I’ll just wear it. OK, here I go to wear the giant mixer. Oh no, I turned giant!”
The End.
