Two Left Feet “Attention boys and girls, attention. I need you to be quiet so that I can give out the parts for this year’s fourth grade variety show,” Mrs. Ogglestein announced to the class. Hannah had been dreading the fourth grade variety show for two years; ever since she watched her older sister Lacey gets oodles of applause for her ballet routine. Lacey was graceful and had rhythm. Hannah had two left feet. Everyone knew that, including Hannah’s teachers, who usually let her get away wi...

To Katie from Max Chapter 1 “He should have been home over an hour ago! Where is he?” I asked my mother. I had been sitting impatiently on the front porch waiting for Dad’s old blue rusty truck to pull in the driveway.

I can almost imagine the acoustic guitar in the back. The ending image of the streets being paved with Gold is a very nice ending.
