"I can't find anything!" Emily screamed. Everyone in the library shushed us. We had looked in every single row of books, other than the restricted section. Nobody could go into the restricted section except for the librarians, because the books in there were so old that they had to be handled with EXTREME care. The librarian, Ms. Maverick, came over to us. "The library closes in fifteen minutes." she said. Emily whacked her head on the table over and over again. "What is it you girls are looking for?" she asked. "Stuff on renaissance Italy." i replied. "I'm sorry, a few girls came in a few hours ago and took out every single book we have on that topic." Emily groaned, mumbling "the internet is unlimited." "I'll tell you what, though. Since i know you very well, Miss McIntyre, and i know that you've handled all of our books with care and returned every single book on time or early, i will permit you to take a trip with your friend Emily to the restricted section. I'll meet you here at nine, and you can sleep at the library tonight. I'll come get you tomorrow morning. If it's okay with your parents, i mean." Me and Emily looked at eachother. "That'd be awesome, Ms.Maverick."I said. "Make sure you bring a flashlight, though. The lights turn off automatically at midnight to conserve energy, and turn back on at eight in the morning. It's controlled by a system in the basement, though, so you won't have access to the lights." she said. me and Emily shrugged. "Okay."

ReplyDeleteHey chicklette,
ReplyDeleteInteresting story idea! When do we see Jake's POV?
I really like the whole idea of a universe existing inside a book! So, does Jake get sucked out of the book and into Casie's reality? Does Cassie get sucked into the book?
I'm looking forward to reading more!!!
Why did the librarian offer to let them stay overnight? I am not sure if that's entirely realistic.
What if you have them hide in the librray until it closes? Then, they ncould sneak out to do their research. It might raise many interesting challenges for them.
My old pal Mike always recommends giving your main character lots of challenges. If you make it too easy for them, the reader might lose interest.
Can't wait to read more!!
