Hello, my name is Charlotte and I'm going into fourth grade.
I like writing because it's fun and the title of my book is Samy Salamander.
Once there was a salamander named Samy who liked bikes.
One day he bought a motorcycle.
He took it out for a test ride.
Sammy did backflips.
It was cool.
He liked ramping, too.
Yee-haw.
Sometimes Samy got a little banged up.
He called his mom from the hospital to tell her the news.
Hi, Mom.
Hi.
And his bike broke, too.
But Sammy did not give up.
He had a plan.
So he ordered some parts.
There was a grin on his face when the mail truck came.
He started building.
It took him all day and then he was back to ramping again.
The end.
