I wrote A Birthday Surprise during the fiction unit. In this story I wanted to reflect my own childhood dream into my story. Ever sense I was a little girl I have always wanted to a mermaid. Whether it be pretending to eat kelp from the bottom of my pool or playing mermaid with my friends. I incorporated this into my story by giving Adeline the gift of turning into a mermaid on her 16th birthday. Linked in the button to the right is only a expert of my story, there are still many more surprises ahead!
