When you thought I wasn't looking-For My Mother

When you thought I wasn’t looking

• When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you wake up early in the morning to make my lunch for school and I learned that the little things in life are actually the big things.
• When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you clean up after me and I learned that doing things for others makes you feel good inside.
• When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you wake up early for work and I learned that you do it for the family.
• When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw the clothes that you bought me and I learned that faith helped you choose clothes that were modest, for me.
• When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you bake cupcakes for the neighbours, and I learned that serving one another shows God’s love for us.
• When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you clean up the house and I learned that keeping a clean house, keeps your brain clean and in order.
• When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you plan dinner every night, and I learned that planning things, keeps your thoughts organized.
• When you thought I wasn’t looking, I looked at you and wanted to say, “Thanks for all the things I saw… when you thought I wasn’t looking.”

Saint Joan of Arc

I am St. Joan of Arc. I was born in the year 1412 in Domrémy-la-Pucelle. I heard a lot of voices and saw a lot of visions of saints at my home. Why did they appear to me? I didn’t know until...The voices told me that I was the only one who could save France and I would have to join the army, but I didn’t believe them. But the saints kept telling me I was the only one who could save France. So I went to the Dauphin, and he tested me, to see if I was worthy to join the army. I passed his test, for he had realised that I was a messenger of God. The Dauphin said that I could fight for his army, but to do so, I had to pretend I was a boy.

When I was at the battle field, I rode on the Dauphin’s white horse, and held the French flag. I didn’t fight. But one day, my army and I, were outnumbered, so they retreated and left me behind. I then was captured by the enemy. In their place where they kept me, there was a tower that overlooked the courtyard. I jumped of the tower, and miraculously. It took me a long time to recover, but when I did, the enemy caught me and brought me to a cell. There, I stayed until they brought me and condemned me to death at the age of 19!

Now here I lay in heaven watching people celebrate my feast day on May 30th.

My book reviews

Phyllis Wong Book Review

Phyllis Wong

and the

FORGOTTEN

SECRETS of MR OKYTO

Phyllis Wong and the forgotten secrets of Mr Okyto, is about a girl named Phyllis. Her great grandfather was the Great Conjuror of Wonder, so conjuring is in her veins. When continuous robberies occur, Phyllis is determined to find out more, even if it is baffling Chief Inspector Inglis. She learns that not all crimes has a simple explanation.

My favourite character is Phyllis’ friend, Clement because instead of Phyllis getting really hurt, he got injured. He is also very faithful to Phyllis.

I recommend this book to people ages 9+ and to people who like magic and mystery books.
