The Book In The Attic
The Book In The Attic
Let us tell you about our mysterious adventure when we were in 6th grade. We, Sky, Nyla, Jake, and Emanuel were going to visit Jake´s house. We wanted to play a game called Search the Attic.
We went to the attic but saw a very Ancient Book. Then we brought it to Jakeś backyard and read it then saw it was about a riddle. The riddle said ¨Go somewhere which is sunny and cold and where it makes you feel funny, and makes you cry."
We thought and thought but we could not think of anything. Then we searched for clues around Jake´s house and found a note. It said ¨I am where you can feel hungry¨. Then we said ¨THE KITCHEN.¨
We ran to the kitchen, searched, and then we could not find the note. But Nyla said ¨I am hungry but FOR REAL¨ so she got a fruit and the note was UNDER THE FRUIT. The note said find a place where you can play video games, and Nyla said, ¨THE BASEMENT.¨ We all ran really fast to the basement and then searched.
Then Sky said ¨You know, I actually want to play video games!¨ So Sky found the note on the remote of the video games. It said ¨I am in California¨. Let us ask our parents to go there. So they did.

We asked our parents, and they said yes! So we were going to California, but we lost all our suitcases! We checked around the airport and saw a boy and a girl holding our suitcases. We ran over to them but when we came over they were gone.
Jake said ¨I think we have to split up¨. We split up but when we came back, Nyla did not appear. Then Sky said ¨We have to find Nyla together, so we don't lose another person!¨ We searched but got lost.
We went out of the airport, crossed the street, but our parents were gone. We went to this odd street and saw Nyla with the boy and the girl that had our suitcases. Strangely, they were having fun and Nyla invited us over.
Then we realized that they were old friends from primary, and they were going to California too. They were Sam and Josh. They wanted to go on the trip with us but the only way to come was by stealing our suitcases. But we forgave them and went on the trip altogether.
We had a fun trip but found nothing in California, but when we visited someone´s house we randomly found the clue in a STRANGERS HOUSE! we were so confused.
Then we knew that he was a part of the people who kept on sending us the clues. He said ¨Right then right now was my best friend when this game was found."
We thought and thought but never got a clue, until Sam thought of something. Her thought was ¨This man could be the best friend of the person who found the game." We agreed and tried to look for a person whom the stranger knew so we could continue.

We walked to the end of the city but found nothing. We took a break, then walked to the other end of the city, and found another clue. It said, ¨The one that is in front of you is something that relates to the clue.¨
We thought about it and then we randomly saw a portal in front of us. Then Nyla grabbed us and said ¨LET US GO IN."

The Journey Back Home
The Journey Back Home
We were going back home when we stumbled across a man. The stranger talked to us and he said that he was the bestfriend of the owner of the game. Then we were all really confused. The boss´ best friend confirmed that he was the best friend but did not want to come with them. We said ¨Okay."
When we left, Sam and Josh had to go. Then we found a store and ate. And when we got pizza we found ANOTHER NOTE UNDER THE PIZZA!!! It said I am in someone´s house but you will have to guess there name. ( Here is a clue you have never been to there house before.) We thought and said NYLA´S HOUSE!
As we entered Nyla´s house, we realize Renba, Nyla´s dog, was saying ¨It took you long enough.¨ Then we all said ¨RENBA IS THE CLUE!!!¨ Renba then said ¨I can fly and I can walk but I choose to walk. I can not go further into that clue but that is where the clue is. Ok that is a kenky. ( A made up animal.) So we went to a zoo that had 1 million kenkys. All of us found only 1 kenky that caught our eyes. We bought that one and found out that it could talk too.
