The Dare Game: Part 2

By JACQUELINE WILSON, Illustrator NICK SHARRATT

Last week we had to write a story about "Night-time" and I thought it an unusually cool subject so I wrote eight and a half pages about this girl out late at night and it"s seriously spooky and then this crazy guy jumps out at her and almost murders her but she escapes by jumping in the river and then she swims right into this bloated corpse and then when she staggers onto the bank there"s this strange flickering light coming from the nearby graveyard and it"s an evil occult sect wanting to sacrifice an innocent young girl and she"s just what they"re looking for ...

It"s a truly GREAT story, better than any that Cam could write. (I"ll tell you about Cam in a minute). I"m sure it"s practically good enough to get published. I typed it out on Cam"s computer so it looked ever so neat and the spellcheck took care of all the spellings so I was all prepared for Mrs V. B. to bust a gut and write: "Very very very good indeed, Tracy. 10 out of 10 and Triple Gold Star and I"ll buy you a tube of Smarties at playtime".
