Bring on the Break
WEDNESDAY
Dear Diary,
This weekend is the start of Hilltop
Science and Arts Academy’s winter break,
and I have to say I’m pretty excited.
Don’t get me wrong, I love school.
What’s not to love?

But even though school is awesome,
I’m looking forward to having no
homework for a little while. Ms. Collier
did give us one assignment, but it
actually sounds fun.
My best friend, Claudia, sits
next to me in class.
Ms. Collier is the coolest
teacher ever.
I get to be a regular kid, and
no one knows I’m actually a
princess.

“Class, I want you all to keep a
Science Observation Notebook over the
break,” she told us this morning.
“Whenever you notice science in action,
write it down in your notebook. It can be
anything we’ve learned about in class:
animals, moving objects, weather . . .”

Claudia nudged me. “Speaking of
weather, when are you going to make it
snow?” she whispered. “I haven’t
observed a single snowflake yet.”
“Very funny,” I whispered back.
“You know I can’t use my powers at
school.”
This year I learned that I’m a
Winterheart, which means that I have
magic powers over ice and snow. Most
of my family members are Windtamers
(they can control the wind and weather).
It’s great to finally know why my
magic is always icy, especially because
it has helped me keep my powers under
5
control. I can’t let anyone at school
know about my royal status or my
magic (except for Claudia, of course).
The only downside is that I can’t go
out on the playground right now and
make a blizzard! Claudia’s right—we

ME! GRANDDAD

could use a little winter fun around
here.
But the number one reason I’m
excited for the break is that Claudia and
I have Big Plans. Big Sleepover Plans.
I can’t wait, Diary. Bring on the
winter!
