Hi has anyone read Nura and the immortal palace!?

Queen Iggy Biscuits

Hello everybody! I am here, and I have a big question. I know millions of you guys, (well, not millions, but you get the idea,) love writing stories as much as you like reading, so can you please reply to the message with a blurb of one (or more) of your stories!

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock

Hi! Yes sure!
Charlotte is watching TV in the dead of night, on Halloween when she sees a mysterious shadow outside her window. Ever day, whichever room she’s in, it’s there. There, staring, right at her. Will she be able to uncover this suspicious creature or will it continue to appear forever?…

Read this amazing book to tag along with Charlotte to see who this shadow is with her, and realise if this story is gloomy as it sounds…

From now on
Every day
I’m gonna post an old poem
Or rap, if that’s ok?

But I’m only gonna do it
If 10+ people agree
Because there’s no point
If you don’t wanna see

So reply to this message
If you think I should
I’ll explain why now
To say why I would

I’ll only do it
To show people on here
What great rapper or poets
Are on here, no fear!

I’m not going it for credit
Just a trip down memory lane
To show the people in here
That these guys really are great!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

I wish I could be your 10 people, but I’m only one person. Yeah, you should deffo do it! I think you were expecting me to say that.

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock

Yup, sure were
Expecting you
Thanks for the vote
Results will be soon!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Ooh, so great!

Empress Magnolia Cuckoo-Clock

I’ve only got a few votes
But since I think people will be keen
Keep your eyes wide open
Cause soon they will be seen!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Yes you should, definitely! I’ll be your second person.

Hey guys,
Fans of rap and poetry
I found an old one
You might wanna see

DIRECTOR SAPPHIRE QUEST
Nature is ready for Christmas,
The trees are leaden with gifts
Holly and ivy and mistletoe berries
And the boughs are snowy with drifts
Robin is looking for dinner
So leave out some birdseed for his tea
And sit by your fire happy with knowing
That he will not be hungry
Foxes pace through the white blanket
The first to leave footprints on the land
And the children go skating on ice-ponds
Laughing, hand in hand

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin

Hey, a little rap
Here on the chat
Nothing special
But I felt like doing that!

So, just checking
On my book reading friends
What books have you guys read?
Just felt it should be said

So if you’re feeling a bit bored
Then don’t just sit there
Because people like me
We really care!

So if you don’t know what to do
Don’t worry, you
Because in this fun little challenge
I’ll talk to you!

Director Birthday-cake Pudding-Basin
