Besides the 20 showers, there was also an individual shower in the bathroom that was in each bedroom. Well actually, there were three showers because you put two shower curtains in between the big and spacious shower and make it into three normal showers. That was where Isabella, Mingmei, and I were taking our showers.  After a few minutes, Mingmei stepped out of the shower. “How are you already done? We all literally just go in. I literally only just finished rinsing the shampoo out of my hair. I still have to put the conditioner on. You guys know how it takes forever for me to get all those annoying knots out of my hair.” I said  Mingmei. Mingmei smiled, rolled her eyes, and laughed. “First of all,” she said, “I have really short hair, and second of all, you were so busy smelling the blueberry shampoo. And third ...

Precious and the Mystery of Meerkat Hill by Alexander McCall Smith My rating: 5 of 5 stars View all my reviews   The Mystery of Meerkat Hill takes place in Botswana, Africa, where there are wide plains that seem to go farther than the sharpest eye could ever see, until the high and empty sky and the plains meet. There are hills that are on these plains. They are like islands in the sea. Precious and her new friends, Pontsho and Teb live there. Precious lives in a tiny house outside a village with her father, Obed. Pontsho and Teb are siblings. They live with their grandparents, aunt, and mother. Their father died two years ago because of lightning, so they moved here. That’s a little summary of the setting and the main characters. In the first part, Precious meets Pontsho and Teb. After school, Precious accompanies them to their small, and overcrowded home to meet Pontcho's “pet” meerkat, named Kosi. Pontsho tells Precious about the time when Kosi saved the siblings’ grandfa...

All I had to say was, “Helicopter, helicopter, oh so high, change to match the color of the sky!” Well, I didn’t have to say that, I could have grumpily murmured, “Helicopter, blend into the surroundings on my command, which is Right Now!” But I secretly liked the silly moments of life, they were like little treasures stored away deep inside the oblivion that was my brain, stored inside a buried locked chest full of those precious little jeweled memories.  So, as I pushed away my fears, I chanted my silly little poem, and soon the helicopter’s windows disappeared, replaced with a dreamy sky blue, and cottony clouds. The shafts of light coming out were my only source of the world beyond. “Helicopter, helicopter, on my command,” I began. “Let me see out to thee, but so thee may not see me.” I know that sound...

Some events may be based on real life, but some events are made up.        As I swerved the white/gold helicopters, I kept an eye out for the woven-patterned one. But the helicopters whirred by as a blur, and I couldn’t get a good view of them. Maybe my idea would work? No, I told myself. It’s crazy to even think about it. It was certainly an odd idea, and it was crazy to think about, but I was desperate. June was my sister, my best friend, and my loving companion. I couldn’t lose her, I needed her! Taking a deep breath to calm my pulsing heart down, I whispered in the woven loudspeaker, “Send a message to June’s helicopter, tell her to meet me above the fountain with the birds on it.” My heart stopped racing, it froze. I held my breath, closing my eyes, hoping against hope June would receive my message. There was a slim chance, almost no chance, but I had to try!  I waited for a few minutes, then I commanded the heli...

I mean, don’t they just grow in Japan?” I asked. Ling-Ling and my new aunt puzzled over this for a while. Then, Ling-Ling walked over to Great-Uncle-Harry. She whispered to him and he quickly walked away. Ling-Ling gave me a wink. What was that all about and why did Ling Ling wink at me?  After a few minutes, Great-Uncle-Harry came back. He was holding a huge packet of seeds. The seeds were like tiny balls. They were as blue as the wide-open sky without a single cloud. They were also super cute! “Here. Just plant these in the winter or when it’s really really cold. It’s best if you plant them in a mix of snow and potting soil, and if you don’t have snow you can use ice cubes,” Ling-Ling said because her husband was still quietly in hysterics.  Isabella suddenly came over, “Why was Uncle Harry m...
