Scary Birthday Present EVER!



Scary Birthday Present EVER!





She pulled down on the chain with her left hand, steering herself towards her target. It was supposed to be the most exciting birthday present ever; a hot air balloon ride. However, Alice had been hanging on for dear life for over 100KM (since the basket of the hot air balloon had fallen off). She was now getting used to steering the huge balloon by manoeuvring her body, leaning to the left or to the right.


Terrified yet excited at the same time, Alice could just about make out her house and garden far below. It was the one surrounded by trees straight ahead, wasn’t it?


She took a deep breath and focused…





That was what she thought though. Instead, it was actually an old abandoned shoe factory so she had to look harder. Alice was slowly still going higher but she was struggling to see, going higher above the clouds. It was a beautiful and stunning view but she knew she was running out of oxygen. Alice had to think of something fast because the higher she gets, the less oxygen she gets. This was looking like the worst birthday present ever.





Stranded in the sky, it was getting cold and the worst part was the Hot Air Balloon was running out of gas. She tried to let the gas stop running so she could just float down to the ground. She reached and reached and nearly lost her footing. Alice eventually got a hold of the gas and it ended up going down but very slowly that was. Suddenly, the wind started picking up. It was getting rough up here. Alice was waving around like an inflatable man in front of commercial buildings. Alice was getting scared and started thinking that she might die. All these negative thoughts rushed through her mind, but Alice knew that she should stay positive. Then Alice thought of something, if she could get the Hot Air Balloon low enough, she could try and jump into the lake and walk home. She had to try and get the Hot Air Balloon down through the clouds so she could see the ground again. The wind started picking up again. Alice rocked around like leaves on a tree. She kept on going down.





Suddenly, a storm started brewing and Alice knew she had to find the lake quick. The Lightning was striking like it was trying to protect the sky or something. The Hot Air Balloon got struck by the lightning. The Hot Air Balloon was plummeting to the ground fast. Alice knew she had to do something. So she just jumped. She was falling from the sky at 100KM per hour and then THUMP!


Alice woke up in a bright room. She saw people with masks on and she had needles injected into her arm.


She asked “where am I”?


One of the people with the masks on replied, “you are in a hospital, you fell out of a Hot Air Balloon and luckily landed in a hay bale. You have been in a coma for 2 weeks”.


“Two weeks” Alice replied.


She tried to move her arm and let out a big scream. The person with a mask on was actually a doctor.


He said “after your big fall, you landed on your shoulder uniquely and you have broken your collarbone”.


Alice was relieved to be alive because if she had not landed in that hay bale, she would probably be dead at this moment. Alice knew that she was safe now and is never going to go on a Hot Air Balloon ride again.

Select 5 words and draw a picture for each one



Reading 11th May

1. Write a paragraph why someone should read the story. I would recommend to read this book if you like horrors or spooky stories. It had a lot of twists and turns. They have to make a lot of tough decisions and they just have to get out of the creepy haunted building. Its sort of like an escape room but is more creepy and more dangerous.

2. Compare and contrast a character in the story with a character in another story. Dash is like Harry Potter because he never gives up.

3. What problem does the main character experience in the story. Write two reasons why. The first reason is when they entered the weird old looking house and the second reason is that they are getting traumatised by the people in the creepy looking masks.
