Lemon

Hey it's Maddy from AZ. This is the introduction to my new story...let
me know what you think!
Lemon

Why, hello. My name is Lemon. Yes, that's my real name, Lemon.
I am an 8year old living in a small town in China. Nothing much ever
happens in our quaint, little town. I am pretty much the odd ball of
the place, but I am also rather timid.
I go to school and play with my friends, I am a normal kid.
Except for my one set-back, extreme anxiety. I have a fear of swimming,
my father drowned a few years back. I haven't been the same since. So,
it's just me and Mama in our quaint, little Chinese town.
My school is called Wet Bend elementary. Why it's called Wet
Bend, no one knows. The man who started the school died at the age of
46, before anyone asked him. Wet Bend is small, it only has about 400
kids. Everyone knows everyone else's name. I love it at Wet Bend. I fit in well there.
At the end of the school year, my mother made an announcement.
" We're going on vacation!" she screamed.
" We're going to go on a plane!" now it was my turn to scream!
We were going on vacation, but what I didn't know then was that this
vacation would be one that changed my life forever.

  2. Great beginning! I know where you plan to have this story go, and I really like that this is how you began Lemon's story. I think the reader already likes her and is curious what is going to happen with this vacation. I know I'm anxious to read more! I hope you are having fun in AZ. It's raining here (boo)!!
