| I hope this letter finds you well. (That's how my uncle says I should start letters. Only he calls 'em "correspondence" cause he's a lawyer.) My mom says I'm playing too many video games and getting too fat. So now when I get home from school, I have to march in place for an hour before she'll let me in the house. I told her that all of my friends are way fatter than I am, and you know what she said? She said, "Nothing ventured, Mohammed will go to the mountain." I mean, what does that even mean? Guess what -- me and Matty solved the Mystery of Pirate's Creek! It turns out Old Man O'Donnell was dressing up as a wolfman to try to trick Mrs. Armstrong out of her heirloom jewels. He said he'd have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for our meddling. |
