SAHARA SpEcIaL!


Pages read: 35
Book: SAHARA Special
Pages: 175
Author: Esme Raji Codell

Summary: 

Sahara has always been a very shy girl, but today, her teacher notices a change. Sahara rights about her father, a poem, and Miss Pointy sees the expression on her face that represents more than just loss and more than just misery inside. 

As soon as Sahara writes the letter, she goes back to her normal self again and gets her game face on for class. 

Sometimes Sahara thinks that she is different because she doesn't talk and no one notices her. But even though no one does, Miss Pointy thinks that she has a lot of potential. 

Something goes on in the class and someone finds out that Miss Pointy likes Sahara a lot and they wrote it in their journal. No one else knows only the teacher. 

It ends up that every time Sahara writes something in her notebook, Miss Pointy writes a comment that she doesn't even understand. Some of the comments include: 

  1. "Don't ever end a story with, "And then I woke up. It was just a dream!" That's a very cheap trick."
  2. Don't kill your characters. The worst ones should go on and on and on, just like in real life.
