They sat together their feet planted on the floor, shoulders hunched, necks stiff. The girls face was downcast, her eyes slowly scanning the floor and only occasionally daring to look up; the boy was wide-eyed, as if he was experiencing something he couldn’t fully comprehend. The two never thought they would be in a room like this, waiting for something to happen — something that they would not da...

“Oh, you thought you were the one?” She sneered oh so patronizingly.

His head scrambled for an explanation. How could he have been so stupid? The more he discovered, the more it seemed to point to him. Why did he listen to that girl? Maybe a part of him wanted to believe. Thinking that possibly there was something special about him after all was intoxicating. But no, he was just like everyone els...

He took in a sharp, cold breath. Awe overwhelmed the captain as he took in the otherworldly mass. It would be up to him as to whether the rest of the world could learn of this discovery. His initial thought was no, of course not, this would be incomprehensible. And if the team was not able to uncover the origins, it reveals nothing but mystery, chaos, and confusion. The captain was a man of order,...

L: “Have you ever noticed that when you run off, Superman starts fighting the bad guys?”

S: “Hmm. Now that can’t al...

Jen and Harry dropped off Sarah with the family. As they watched as the girls played together, Jen noted that others could snap at Sarah aggressively, but she couldn’t be bothered. Her desire to please made her easy to be around. The pitter-patter of feet encircled the room; Harry recalled that Sarah loved to play hide and seek and wouldn’t stop seeking until she found you — such a persistent girl...

I want to write a novel for children that excites their imagination and incorporates deep truths along with important values. I want to write about a girl (or boy, I’m not sure yet) who was taken from their home and left an orphan. Their goal is to find a place that they belong.
