22. My Crazy Hat Adventure It was about mid-July when I dashed into a new hat store called Caitlin’s World of Crazy Hats. I was as hot as a firecracker, and my head was about to get sunburned. I found the hat of my dreams. It was a cool looking beach hat with a wide brim that would give me some shade from the sun. I reached out, grabbed the hat, and placed it on my head to see if it fit. Suddenly I was in the Bahamas surfing. I moved my legs in all sorts of directions to keep my balance and do some tricks on the surfboard. People on the beach clapped and yelled. They loved me. I thought in my head for a second, “Why don’t I just show them my stuff!” So I went out in the waves and did some jumps and spins. I thought I would just show off one more time with my special trick. I held onto my hat and sprang into the air and did a full flip. Landing it would be the hard part. Luckily I felt me feet make perfect contact with the surfboard and my hands flew up so I could keep my balance. The crowd cheered. “I did it!” I said to myself. Ding, dong. Ding, dong, went the town clock. I looked up. Everyone on the beach was running away. It seemed like even the waves slowed down. “What’s going on?” I wondered. One man stayed behind. He yelled to me, “Get out of the water! It’s shark feeding time.” I started paddling to shore. Out of nowhere a great white shark popped his head out of the water. “Ahhhh!” I screamed. I paddled and paddled. My eyes could see the shoreline. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the shark closing in behind me. “Chomp!” The shark bit my board. I was flung up into the sky above the blue ocean water. I started to fall. ‘Swish.” I fell flat into the water on my stomach. My new beach hat tumbled off and floated away in the waves near the shark. Poof! I was back in Caitlin’s World of Crazy Hats. To my surprise I was soaking wet. I looked at my stomach and it had gigantic a red spot on it. The other customers stared at me. My face turned red with embarrassment. Right then I thought to myself, ‘I’m never going to try on another hat again. It just might lead to trouble.” Example of Intriguing Adventure Page 337 22

36. D-Day by Ryan “Thump thump” went my heart as the mad scientist jumped out of my story book and onto my bed. “Hello” I nervously exclaimed as the hot summer sun shined through the window and beat down on my face. Ignoring me the tall darkhaired scientist reached into his pocket and pulled out a small device that read at the top time machine. Before I could react he pushed a red button on the front. Suddenly there was a blinding flash of light. Not long after, I found myself surrounded by soldiers of the american army. Instantly I knew that I had been sent back in time to June 6, 1944 (D-Day) omaha Beach. Water splashed against my face as the landing craft moved closer to the beach that would soon be known as bloody omaha. I was shaking with fear, as one of the sergeants yelled out orders at that instant the landing crafts ramp dropped. The sounds of grenades and shells exploding and bullets flying filled the air. Later during the battle, when the beach was clear except for a few snipers, me and the invading troops moved inland. In the meantime, sherman tanks and heavy artillery rolled onto the beach. Once the allies had ended this tragic battle, I stared at the horrible sight of wounded and dead men. Right as the american flag was raised there was another flash of bright light. Shortly after I was back in my room right then, I noticed that the mad scientist was gone, “thank goodness” I said to myself. As I slowly left the room I wondered where he was and what he was doing.
