Kyla's Page Mr. Linden's Library There was a girl called Kate who lived in Paris. She had borrowed a book from Mr Linden's Library. It was an old-looking book that had been borrowed so many times. Kate looked at the front cover. The title was 'The Magical Story of Poison Ivy'. It sounded quite interesting. So she went up to the counter and said to Mr Linden "I would like to borrow this book please". Mr Linden replied "sure you can but I am warning you about this book because it can be quite dangerous at times". Kate answered "I'll be extra careful Mr Linden, I promise I will".

When Kate came home she rushed up the stairs into her bedroom. In a few seconds Kate was already lying in her bed reading the book she had borrowed. Suddenly she came to a page when a Poison Ivy started to grow all around her! The Poison Ivy gave her a bad rash all over her body. It made her go to sleep gradually meaning Kate was aware this was happening to her. After about half an hour her Mum called out Kate it's time for bed. There was no answer. Her Mum shouted it again, Kate but there was still no answer. Anyway her Mum thought to herself she must be asleep by now.

Kate was dreaming that she walked into a dark forest with many crows making lots of noises nearly every second. She decided to keep on walking through the deep, dark forest even though she felt terribly scared and lonely since she was only 12 years old. Suddenly Kate was frightened from something grabbing her from behind. She couldn't see what it was but she knew it was something tall because it reached her shoulder. Kate heard a voice that said "Hello Kate I remember you ". Kate noticed that voice, it was her old next door neighbour! She wasn't an ordinary neighbour and her name was Ivy. Kate use to call her 'Poison Ivy' for her nickname. Her hair was always prickly like the plant. Ivy always told Kate stories that were untrue and hurtful. She was a horrible person who often poisoned our front garden plants.

At once Kate felt wet all over her face. She opened her eyes and saw her dog Rover licking her face. "STOP", said Kate, "STOP IT", she said again. Soon she realised the connection from the Ivy growing out of the book and her old next door neighbour Ivy. "Now it all makes sense" exclaimed Kate. She promised herself never to borrow that book ever again from Mr. Linden's library.

HE WARNED HER ABOUT THE BOOK. NOW IT WAS TOO LATE.
