In London 1595, there was a girl who was 16 called Diana. She had a little sister called Dolly, a mother with brown crimpy hair and a dad with long ginger hair. At tea time, Diana wasn’t in the mood to eat, so she wrote a book while on her bed made out of old fabrics and dirty brown paper. It was about a princess who wanted to be a ballerina.
“Diana,” shouted her mother. “Are you coming down for tea, darling?”
All they had was really chewy bread, and water from a river, that’s why she didn’t want to come down for tea.
“Guess what, Diana,” Mother shouted once again.
“What?” asked Diana.
“The Shakespeare ball is performing tomorrow night!”
“Is it really?” Diana asked.
“YES,” screamed her mum excitedly. So on the night after that, the whole family and everyone in the village went to the Shakespeare ball.
The author there was called William Shakespeare. He was someone who wrote plays, so Diana wanted to be the same as him when she was older. Also, she took her story book with her because she wanted to show it to Shakespeare.
An hour later when the show was still going, a bright light shone out of a story page with a picture of a princess ballerina in it. A fierce wind came rushing out of the page, blowing people away, out of the ball, except for Diana. For some reason while others were getting blown away, the page sucked Diana right into it, to a world of flowers. “Hello? Is there anyone here?” she asked nervously.
While she was shaking with fear, she saw herself wearing a beautiful white flowery dress with a red bow tied around her waist, some gorgeous sandal shoes to match her dress and a sparkly golden crown on her head. She was a princess ballerina and before she could say another word, she fainted. When Diana woke up, she found herself in a huge pink bed that was extremely cosy. However, it was a bed for a princess. 5 minutes later, a maid came in with a tray that had loads of rich food on it. There were bacon sandwiches, fresh water, apple tart, raspberry dumpling and a bowl of strawberries.
“Wow!” she said in a shocked way. “Look at all this delicious food. There’s enough for King Henry VIII.”
“Um, is everything alright your majesty?” the maid asked nicely. Diana had no idea why she’d called her your majesty.
“Why? Do I look like a real princess?” she asked the maid.
“Well you are one aren’t you?” said the maid like she really was one.
When the maid left, Diana tried a bit of the raspberry dumpling first. ‘Mmmmmm, this is delicious,” she mumbled, with her mouth full. “I love how it has a sweet taste.”
Another twenty minutes later, Diana thought of going outside to see the flowers again. When she had a sit down, she found her book in them. She thought of reading it while she was sitting. She read it in her head and looked at the pictures that she’d drawn.
“Hmm, why does the princess ballerina look like me in that picture?” she asked herself.
She read more pages but every picture she’d drawn looked so much like her and the world she was in. Then she began to read more, and more, and more and so much more. When she looked at the final page, she began to recognise things that happened in the book and with her too.
She clicked, then suddenly thought, “THAT’S IT! The book must be magic then I got sucked into it at the Shakespeare ball. Yes, yes! Of course. Maybe the strong wind there, was to do with the book and the suspicious light. That’s definitely what happened to me, but what should I do to get back to my world and my family?” she asked herself again.
The clouds in the sky turned pink for some reason, then the sky turned yellow. ‘Huh, what’s happening?, she asked nervously. The wind that was at the Shakespeare ball, came blowing into the flower place. It was blowing Diana into the north sky. She screamed really loud because she was going really fast in the air. At that point, she had her eyes closed, but when she opened them, she found herself at the Shakespeare ball, with her normal clothes and shoes on, but she was all alone. There was no one there because it had finished.
“Hello?” she shouted. “Where is everyone? Wait........my family must be at the cottage. I’ll go find out,” she said. A few minutes afterwards, she was at the cottage, about to open the door. Also, when she was about to touch the door handle, her mother turned it. By the time she had opened the door crying about Diana being lost, she saw her right there, standing outside.
“Oh my gosh, DIANA!” she screamed with joy. “Where were you?”
“Guess what mother, the book is magic,” Diana replied.
“I was so worried, I missed you so much,” her mother sobbed.
“Don’t worry mum, I’m here.” She began to cry herself. When her father and little sister came down stairs, they saw Diana outside hugging her mother.
“DIANA, IT’S YOU!” They both shouted with joy as well. They began to cry too, then they all had a group hug, which was the sign of love.
At night time, they decided to throw the book in the fire. “I never want to see that book again, never in my life. It terrified me, it sucked me in and I was away from my family,” Diana said, crying.
They were all happy for her, then they all hugged again, but this time, it was a better one. It was bed in the next half an hour, so everyone went to bed and forgot about the magic book, including Diana, and they all went fast asleep and lived happily ever after.
