Gold star Alice Toolie! My thoughts exactly! I’m a huge fan of pop-up stuff like gophers and those snakes you hit with a hammer at fairs! And our own pop-up library would be a great way to get Ms Murtle’s attention and show her how responsible we are. The only thing I’m not that sure about is the name. The Alice Toolie Memorial Library??? I’m not totally against it, but usually if something’s called memorial it means they’re dead. So unless you are dead (are you???) I think we should call it something else. If you’re not sure if you’re dead or not, here are three things you can do to check:
1. Say BOO really loudly. If people get scared, you’re probably a ghost.
2. TRY WALKING THROUGH A DOOR. If you can, you’re a ghost. (Unless the door was open, in which case we can all do that, don’t get too excited.)
3. TRY TALKING TO A CAT. If they speak back to you in a German accent, you’re definitely a ghost.
So once you’ve worked out whether you’re dead or not, let me know. If you are, I’m happy to call our library that. If you’re not dead, how about The Jimmy and Alice Awesome Library?
Yours deadly,
Jimmy Cook
