Title of Work: : Sadie's Revenge (Short Story, Children's)
Author of Work: : Shelley A-7 years at WDC
Date: : July 23

Plot:
Sadie is training to be a witch, but she doesn't want to be a witch.

Scene/Setting:
Sadie is eleven years old and she shudders. This is not a good thing for a witch in training. She can't even make it through the simplest of spells without shuddering. Her two sisters spend their time laughing and making fun of her. They can't understand why she prefers dogs instead of cats. They can't understand why she would rather read than going out on Halloween and having some fun. Sadie knows she is a changeling. She hates being a witch.

One day just prior to Halloween, she says a silent spell, which keeps her from shuddering and asks that when her sisters start to say a spell on Halloween Day, then all anyone will hear is barking like dogs. Sadie forgets she thought the spell and is just as surprised as everyone else when her sisters start barking and howling, every time they try and say anything witchy.

Her mother looks at her. Sadie hopes it wears off when Halloween is over, but she is not sure.

Characters:
Sadie
Marcella - Sadie's sister
Sherry - Sadie's sister
Sadie's mother

Suggestions:
This story was really cute. I liked the way you worked the idea in that Sadie could mentally cast spells without having to say them out loud. You have shown a very large difference in the powers Sadie and her sisters have. If I project into the future, I can see Sadie much more powerful than her sisters.
