Hi, I'm Maddy. I'm 9 years old and I live in a small town in the United States with my older sister Zoey, my dog Rupert, and my parents. I go to school nearby. Over the years I have learnt a lot about life and how to handle things at home and at school. In this collection of 20 short stories you get:

Elevator Farts: Joey came to school eating too many beans the day before. Boy, was that a day to remember!

Halloween: Zoey had some hungry friends over for Halloween. I had my friend Michael, and his pet frog, over. Read the story to find out what happened.

Boogers : Amanda thought the green stuff on Mr. Wrong's sushi was Joey's booger. This led to complete chaos in the classroom.

Bullying : Joey's the really annoying kid in our class. One day Joey got bullied by some mean big kids. This story shows how by sticking up for each other we can overcome the bullies.

Divorce :One day Amanda got told that her parents were getting a divorce. She wasn't like the old Amanda after that as she blamed herself and felt really angry. I was so glad that we were able to help her get through the bad feelings.

Family Parties : Zoey was having a family birthday party and all I wanted was to admire the food before the guests turned up...

Facebook Expert: I really needed a new iPad for Christmas but it was so hard trying to get mom to understand this and then things got worse...

School Camp: School camp was the perfect opportunity for me to become the coolest girl in class. Marshmallows, Dora the Explorer, and a frog meant that things didn't go according to plan, but it turned out that at least one kid thinks I'm great and that's cool.

Bring a Pet to School Day: I brought my dog Rupert to school. You won't believe what happened to the teacher and the principal!

School Lunches: Not only was school really boring that day, but then when we had to line up to get lunch in the school cafeteria the food looked really disgusting. A small frog soon put an end to the lunch food and the day ended up being the best day ever.

School Detention: Mrs. Whitehead is our school secretary and she is 4 feet tall and scary! This funny story is about the day that I got detention from her.

Amanda and the Kitten: Amanda returns to school and we find out that she has a new step brother, Ralphie, who is 6 years old. Amanda wants us to be mean to him so she can get her mom and dad back together. A new kitten made things so much better.

Jelly Fight: This funny story is about our class party.

The New Boy in Class: This story is about Roop the new boy in our class. He's a Sikh from India. At first we thought he was an Indian from America and we got sooooo confused. Some of the kids teased him but he's so cool - as long as you stay away from his food. Find out what happened...

Lisa's Bat Mitzvah: This story is about the time that my family went to a bat mitzvah. I thought it was something to do with bats and then when I found out what it was, there were lots of rules to learn but it was all worthwhile because Lisa had so much fun - and so did I - especially with the candy.

I Don't Want to go to Bed: Mom always tells me to go sleep even though I'm not ready. I try everything. Well, as you'll see none of it works because in the end sleep comes and gets me.

Tidying my Room: Mom wants my room tidied and I try everything to avoid doing it including distraction and shortcuts but Mom knows everything!

Painting my Bedroom: This story is about the day I decided to paint my bedroom. I forgot to ask first and paint went everywhere. But after a few ups and downs, things turned out really good...

Moons in Uranus: This funny story is about our class trip to the Observatory. It didn't take long before Joey told Amanda that she had moons in Uranus. But Amanda gave back as good as she got. Boy, did we have a hilarious class trip.

Amanda's Birthday Party: This short story is about Amanda's birthday party. I wasn't invited. It made me sad but then Zoey had a really cool idea...
