What
if your teacher could read your mind just because she was born on a Thursday?
Or the kid next to you in class could turn back the clock just because he was a
‘Wednesday”? In the quirky town of Nova, all of this is normal, but one thing
is not—Poppy Mayberry. As an almost-eleven-year-old Monday, she should be able
to pass notes in class or brush her dog, Pickle, without lifting a finger. But
her Monday telekinesis still has some kinks, and that plate of spaghetti she’s
passing may just end up on someone’s head. And if that’s not hard enough,
practically perfect Ellie Preston is out to get her, and Principal Wible wants
to send her to remedial summer school to work on her powers! It’s enough to
make a girl want to disappear…if only she were a Friday.
Purchase Links:
Pick a
favorite event in time that you would like to visit: Example: Salem Witch
Trials, Civil War, The shooting of Abraham Lincoln ect…..
Tell us
why you would like to visit and/or would you like to visit this event just to
see and know what really happened or would you like to visit as a participate
in the event?
This is such a great question! If I could choose any time/event to
visit, it would definitely be late 16th/early 17th century
England to see a Shakespearean performance at the Globe Theatre. It’s no secret
that I absolutely love all-things Shakespeare, so a real life performance
during the Elizabethan Era would be amazing. If I had to choose a specific
show, I would want to see either Macbeth,
Romeo and Juliet, or A Midsummer Night’s Dream because those
are my favorite ones. What would make the experience perfect is if Shakespeare
himself were in attendance. If I could meet any person, it would be the amazing
Bard.
