Book Report: Mr.Poppers penguins (Pages 38-56)

This book is called Mr. Poppers Penguins. When Mr. Popper's new penguin lives in Mr. Popper's house, it would make a hilarious life for them. He decided to call the city Hall if the penguin (Captain Cook) needed a bird license. Unfortunatly the people didn't understand what he was talking about! Mr.Popper just takes Captain Cook for a walk, and they expect to just have a peaceful one. A couple minutes later reporters unexpectedly surrounded the little penguin. Pictures were taken to be put on the news, but one thing the reporters probably didn't know was that if they used the flash on the camera the light would blind the penguins. I wonder what Mrs. Poppers reaction would be if she saw the pictures on the news.

The Big Blizzard (Part 2)

"There's nothing much to admire about." said Andy. "Let me first call my mom, and we can go home.'' I waited for him as he made the phone call for 5 minutes. "Come on." he said. I headed straight away with him. Andy went home with me and we went up to his room. He was very interested in science. He had a pet cobra named Viper, and a tarantula named Mr.Hairy Guy. He had a chemistry set too. He has play dates with me, but I haven't had a play date with him. "Hi Viper." I heard him say from upstairs to his cobra snake. Viper and Mr.Hairy Guy were very harmless. They used to be Andy's cousin Matthew's house whos dad was a very experienced obidience school teacher. "Well, what should we do?" I asked Andy. "We'll probably will have to play chemistry." he replied. After one hour of playing, it was time for lunch. "Remember Andy," said his mother. "You even have a sleepover with Frank." After dinner...





ZAP!!!





Again, the power went out excatly 3 times sudden than in school. Luckily, we wouldn't starve or freeze. Finally, we listened to the radio. The wireless, non-electrified radio. We listened to the news:

Many stores, homes, libraries, 24-hour services, gas station food marts, resturants, hotels, malls, and food courts have ran out of power. And now to Noah Kent with our weather report. This is News 6 on 89.5 FM. Thanks!



>>>Hi. This is Noah Kent with our daily weather report. Tonight will be mostly windy and foggy. Low temperatures will 18 degrees Celsius (67 degrees Fahrenheit). High temperatures will be 20 degrees Celsius (69 degrees Fahrenheit). And back to Larry Skladowski with our blizzard report.



>>Well the weather is a bit snowy, and the blizzard won't end for weeks or so. It is very hard to conquer darkness because winds from outside blow indoors no matter when the windows are open or not lighting up a candle nor candles or fire-powered gas lamps light forever. Do not feel free to move to another place with no blizzard.

>>KENT: Thats right. Do not move to a hotel. Try hard to avoid darkness. If weather gets badder and badder, you can feel free to move to to a safe place.

>>SKLADOWSKI: Okay. And now here is are report on the weather. Tomorrow will be a sign of rain, causing sleet. Low temperatures: 12 degrees Celsius (61 degrees Fahrenheit), high temperatures: 19 degrees Celsius (69 degrees Fahrenheit). We will have Wednesday weather thunderstorms, and that is a perfect time to evacuate and move to a safe place. Everybody will have to be evacuated to one place.

The Big Blizzard (Part 1)

Hi. My name is Frank. I was so depressed today. There was a big, BIG blizzard. Usually me and Andy are nervous on school days on bad weather. Absolutely, you can learn a lot from your teacher. If the power goes out, we can't learn in the dark. But this time we were very brave. Using my cousin Nathan's words:







Don't worry, there's nothing to fuss about.







My cousin has a good attitude. We were busting the snowbanks while wiping off the frost from our windshields with our wipers. We went in and it was so cold (-20 degrees Fahrenheit or less/more) that when we were learning English (phonics) we could hardly hold our pencils! Suddenly....



ZAP!!!



The power went out. "Aw, man!" we called. Suddenly, the principal, Mr.Smith, came speeding into our classroom. The speaker was broken, so he had to race into each classroom and announce. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but school will be closed." Most yelled "Yay!" and some yelled "Great." (The "Great." meaning "Oh, good grief!") We were soon outside admiring the snowflakes.

King Mack And The 70 Servants Of The Sea: Introduction

We have now made a new legendary tale of the sea. This story is about a "king" of the sea, a 70 year old king mackerel. His 70 "servants" sit near his throne and listen to him tell legends. They're line of business is to listen to the legends and what they need to do is to find/collect things in the legend story. They will create a gallery of legendary things and they will make it to make visitors learn about legendary history.

Thats pretty much about these book series.

About The Author (And Illustrater)

Andrew started writing his own "Car Island" books since he was 5. He enjoys transportation. So he came up the idea of writing books about transportation. He gave all of the transportation names and wrote just to "entertain" people. He did all the copyrights and reserves all rights of them. He made his own animation scene for chapter books--- better than Flip-o-Rama. Its called Hum-o-Rama! When something super happens, you hum a heroic tune out loud. he also loves superheroes and villains, so he also wrote "World Car" comics. He has written and illustrated more than 100 Car Island books and write over 200 World Car comics! Their all right here--- inside this blog. We hope you enjoy them because Andrew wrote it so you like it.

Wonder Boy Combo (Wonder Boy II): The 1st Book

Chapter 1:


Wonder Boy 2





Steve (A.K.A. Wonder Boy) had a new dimension. Ever since he turned 7, he was no longer the regular Wonder Boy. Now he was Wonder Boy II, the 2nd dimension of the real Wonder Boy. Since new things were happening, Wonder Boy and his best friend, Josh, were very happy that nothing bad would happen ever again.





Chapter 2:


A Quick Review





Wonder Boy and Josh had been fighting crime so hard that they often gave up. Their best concoction they made was the "Anti-Bad Guy Concoction" AKA Go-Away Bad Guy Concoction.





Chapter 3:


The New Concoction





Wonder Boy decided that the Anti-Bad Guy Concoction was not enough.


They had made Super Power strength water that was the greatest strength water for on the entire Lake Uma! The recipe? There was no problem about that. The ingredients were all Josh's idea. It depended on their IQ. Josh had an IQ of 150, while Wonder Boy had an IQ of 148. Well, the recipe was a secret between Wonder Boy, Josh, and all Wonder Boy's other superhero friends. Well, here's the recipe, anyway:



Super Power Strength Water



1 bottle 500ml (16.9 fl oz.) purified drinking water

2 cups of Super Power fluid

5 drops of dissolving fluid (for Super Power fluid)



Pour entire combination into a plastic recycled water bottle. Shake for
15-30 minutes for best taste.

Chapter 4:

The Recipe Of Anti-Bad Guy Concoctions

The Anti-Bad Guy Concoctions was a magic potion which was made from Wonder Boy and Josh, who were students of Lake Uma Elementary School. By the time they were fighting the "school-eating" ghost, they sneaked into the science room of the school and made the secret recipe of the concoction:

1 cup of Tide bleach

2 cups of detergent

Water filled with suds

(See instructions of making in end of book)

Chapter 5:

A New Bad Guy Is Born

Finally, the Slime Balls of Ghost Town Lake Uma had been making an evil plan. They were going to make clones of themselves so that they wouldn't lose their own energy. With clones around, they wouldn't have to go out and destroy the world themselves. Wonder Boy soon found out and told Josh about the clones and the Slime Balls' evil plan. Josh was mad at Wonder Boy for not telling him earlier. "How come you didn't tell me earlier?!" he said. "Well..." said Wonder Boy, "The evil plan didn't happen earlier, so I didn't tell you earlier." Josh was so frustrated he went home, slammed the door of his own room, and began to think up plans.

The Big Flood (Part #5)

1 week later...

I told Andy some stuff that happened during the flood. "Andy, today we cannot hang out at the tree house and write any comics at all!" I said. "Well, too bad." said Andy.
"You probably need to make a new one." "But I can't!" I said. "That tree house was built when I was 5!" "My family can't plant a new one!" Andy finished up his fuel when I went to the gas room to get some unleaded fuel. After recess, we went on a field trip to see all the stuff that had been flooded away from the floods.

The End

The Big Flood (Part 4)

3 days later...

Well, as long as it didn't last so long for the flood to be contained, we checked the weather report. The flood is now 10% contained which means everybody may stop evacuating and can go back to Car County. I watched the flood report more: 9%, 8%, 7 percent, 6%, 5, 4, 3 2 1. The flood was gone! Happily, we went off to the airport which was not too far away. We took Car County Airlines back home. There was no damage except the tree house was "washed" away from the flood and The Car Colony was the #1 community that was 100% okay! There were also many other communities that were okay, such as my cousin Nathan's community named Camino Del Rio (#2 one), and Forest Ranch (#3 one).

Wonder Boy Combo (Wonder Boy II) Introduction

Wonder Boy Combo (which we call Wonder Boy II) is just like Wonder Boy, except it is a sequel to Wonder Boy. They are still comics, except they are longer, a bit complex, and have lots more adventures. We would like to present this book for less boredom. This book may win the Transportation Books, Inc. Gold Medal Award. If you are not completely satisfied, mail to the writer at:

The Big Flood (Part 3)

CAR ISLAND TIMES:

Daily Newspaper:

FLOOD IN CAR COUNTY:

All people in Car Island have been concerned about this big flood in Car County and cars may have to evacuate. This is your daily news on 94.9 FM.

I listened to the radio, which was on 94.9 FM because 89.5 FM signal was "disconnected" from the flood. It felt like forever to get back. Luckily, there were safe homes in Car Colony, which soon was posted on the morning news. That night, I couldn't sleep very well, how often. I was thinking about the flood. I tried to concentrate on sleep, but I couldn't. The next day, I was awakened from the clock chiming 7. Then, I headed to the first floor in the hotel for breakfast and I found out I couldn't eat breakfast! When I went down, nobody even the workers in the hotel! The door sensor was off, but my family helped themselves and Andy's family turn it on and turn it off on the other side. We had to live in Andy's cousin Matthew's house which was really a medium sized mansion, and had a cool landscaped backyard. In Vehicle City, where Andy's cousin Matthew lived (which I will now say Cousin Matthew), it was different from Car Island, which wasn't like cars scurrying here and there, but Car Island was a quiet, busy town that was not neccesarily having traffic jams, while Vehicle City is a big city with many historic highways and lots of traffic jams, bad/pretty good
weather, and one Hollywood which I didn't even learn about.

The Big Flood (Part 2)

Luckily, it didn't take a long time to find a hotel, and we searched for about 25 minutes to find one, when finally, we found Weston Resort and Spa. Andy's family was interested in the hotel, so he came 2 minutes earlier and moved in my hotel room's next door which was 6B while I found 6C. But there was not to many rooms to be checked in. There was only one room that was medium small. The best thing was that a small upright piano was sitting in a corner of the wall with the same excact piano textbooks Albert had so he could practice piano. Good thing we still could practice music.

End of Part 2....

The Big Flood (Part 1)

Hi. My name is Frank. Today it rained so hard. It rained and rained for 2 weeks and 3 days that it became a flood! Only Car County had the flood. Parts of Car County were Car Island, Carsville, and Car Country. Transportation County didn't have the flood. Parts of Transportation County were parts of Transportation Island (Which I didn't really explain about), USC, and Vehicle County. WE MOVED ALL THE WAY TO SUCH A FARAWAY PLACE!!!! (And I did that in capital letters because Transportation County didn't seem near as I thought.) We watched the news day and night, day and night, day and night, day and night...
It seemed like the flood would last forever!

End of Part 1....

The Big DIne-Out

Hi. My name is Frank. Today we had an amazing Sunday evening. We went to the Cartown Buffet with all our friends! (Thanks to Mom and Dad!) One day at recess I went to meet Andy. "Hi, Andy." I said. "Did you get an invitation to my dine-out this Sunday?" Andy said he had one. "Where is the dine-out?" asked Andy. "At Car's Diner?" "No." I replied. Cartown Buffet. Andy was so surprised. It was in Cartown?! Or did they have to cross the Gasific Ocean on a Star Of The Sea ship?! Andy was confused. He emailed me pretty soon. This is what he said.

To: frank45@treehousecomix.org
From: andy86@treehousecomix.org

Frank,

How are we even going to get there? Will we have to cross the Gasific Ocean? Maybe Car's Diner is better than that. There is to much trouble crossing the sea.

---Andy

I replied:

To: andy86@treehousecomix.org
From: frank45@treehousecomix.org

Andy,

I talked to my parents about it. We will take the express train to Cartown. There is no way to cross the Gasfic Ocean.

Frank


Andy figured out that maybe Franklin the steam train could do the work. But Franklin often had duty. And Sunday, October 7th, was his duty day. Another express train (which was a streamlined Coaster train) had his entire duty time carrying passengers. When we got there, it was already 7:25 PM. But the Cartown Buffet had a dinner time special all the way to 8:15. The Cartown Buffet often had about 5 customers during the breakfast special, 76 for lunch special, and at least 200 for dinner. There was also a Cartown Buffet Fall Season grand opening from their autumn break! So not Car's Diner was only good, Cartown buffet was!

The End

Epilogue: Well, as well as food from Car Island and USC (United States Of Cars), Frank and Andy's family had some culutural food.

Wonder Boy vs. The Slime Balls From Ghost Town Lake Uma

One dark night, the Lake Uma Slime Company was processing evil slime balls in a wreck of a ghost town.

SLIME BALLS: Lake Uma, prepare to destroy!
The slime balls began to destroy every part of Lake Uma that they didn't care about Wonder Boy.
WONDER BOY (talking to his buddy Josh): There's no escape!
The slime balls began to splat their slime all over Wonder Boy.
WONDER BOY: Help!
Josh tried to spray the slime balls with his Anti-Bad Guy concoction but it only made it worse. New slime balls formed.
JOSH: I can't take it anymore!
WONDER BOY: I have an idea!
Wonder Boy tipped the open jar of Anti-Bad Guy liquid and...KERSPLASH!

All the slime balls were gone.

The Big Soccer Interscholastics

Hi. My name is Frank. Today was a very important day today. The big soccer practice! We practice our hardest to beat the 3rd grade soccer team from Las Vegas, USC, Las Vegas Prowlers. Here is the story:

"Come on, Andy." I said. "Practice hard or else we will lose!" "Okay, okay." said Andy, as he finished up the last bit of his sports fuel. We practiced, and practiced, and practiced. During the big day of the practice, all the soccer players tried their best to win. Channel 6 Car Island Times began to report the practice. Well, the Las Vegas Prowlers clobbered our team, the Car Island Roosters. We watched the sports report all about it. The score: 2/16. Everyone worried about the Rooster team, but I didn't. We still had 1 day left. We practiced a lot more than the Prowlers team because you can't be lazy to improve, you have to work hard!

Tomorrow: The soccer interscholastic's:

Well, Channel 6 News recorded us on the news again, and Larry Skladowski (reporter) focused on the camera lens so we had a better view on the news. It was so amazing! We scored 36 goals in a row and the Las Vegas Prowlers only scored 15. So we totally clobbered the Prowlers team. The Rooster team was so proud of its self. Wow!

How Cars in Car Island Work

Q:How do they hear?

A: From their engine. The sound waves travel into the gas tank, right into the engine, and inside the battery. Their carburetor doesn't help the car hear. If any car is deaf, they need to repair their battery's or recharge them right away. Most cars hear from their mirrors.



Q: How do they speak?

A: Good question. Their is no mouth for the cars. The cars speak from their battery to their engine. If engine is broken and the car can't speak, call 24 hour recovery service right away.



Q: How can they brush their teeth?

A: They don't brush their teeth before bed and before breakfast. Here's what they do:

1. They take a wash down

2. They power their battery's with battery power cream



Q: How can they see?

A: With their windshield. Each car windshield can help cars see by showing reflections like a mirror.



Q: How do they protect themselves from snow?

A: They go to the public car wash. Plain as pie.



Q: How can they digest food?

A: From their carburetor. It senses the taste with a modified senor and food goes into the engine and then to the battery.



Q: How do they drive?

A: With their carburetor. Their carburetor can tell when its time to go, stop, or make a turn with the senor that also senses taste.



Q: How do they stop?

A: Often with their universal joints. Their brakes can be loose sometimes. When brakes are pressed, universal joints (muscles) connect, then collide. If there are awful twinges in universal joints, tighten brakes and try again.



Q: Who controls them?

A: Themselves or their carburetor. There is no driver so car only can drive itself. Their carburetor often helps. (See questions "How do they drive?" and "How do they stop?")

Q: How do they smell?
A: Their carburetor. The sensor that we were explaining about on questions "How do they drive?" and "How do they digest food?" helps them smell. The smell often goes into the cars carburetor, down to their engine, and straight into their battery.

Q: What if they're blind?
A: Well, they might need to change their windshield, or get a aluminum cloth of windshield tint. If these don't work, call 24 hour recovery service to get windshield vision mirrors and try again.

Q: How do they touch?
A: You've never heard of this: Their tires! How they touch things: They open their tires a bit, but they don't take the entire tire off. They tuck the thing they need in their tire.

Q: What if they can't reach the thing they need?
A: Well, their tires can stretch far, not too far, that is. If they have to reach way too far, and its also way too high, they HAVE to use a ramp stepstool (a stepstool with a ramp).

The Big Guidebook Hard Disk

HI. My name is Frank. Gee, its such a hard working day today. Andy and I have to make a hard disk for our guidebooks. Well, here's the story. One day, Andy called me. He said that it was time to make hard disks for our guidebooks. But we had no time for today. "Meet me at the tree house tomorrow afternoon." I said on G-Chat. Well, it was hard because we were not sure if the Wi-Fi in Treehouse Comix (the tree house) worked. But we had to install the USB cord and everything. The Wi-Fi wasn't just no cords attached to the computer but a Wireless cable was recommended. When I looked on the HDM (Hard Disk Maker), approximately no macintosh could be installed on the hard disk. Finally, I decided to try Quicktime HDM. The disk was installed with Windows and Macintosh. It took 2 weeks to finish the hard disk anagram. It was like my dad's work. One invention would take at least 1 week to finish. Finnaly, the disk was installed on RealPlayer and on the My Computer file. Only 2 problems were left. One Unicle error and that the hard disk wouldn't work on the floppy drive. So the hard drive was installed. Finnaly, a file was created for the hard disk. HDM was due to all the hard drive installation. And that was how the hard disk for our guidebooks on how to make a comic was created.

The School Thanksgiving Break

Hi. My name is Frank. I have a long weekend because we have some district recesses and a Thanksgiving break from 11/20- 12/2 ! We will have a long weekend. Irresistibly cool! Andy and I want to have a vacation. To Las Vegas, Nevada. Going to Las Vegas is pretty easy. You take the shortcut from SR-286 to I-505 from my cousin Nathan's house, merge left to South 6 freeway, pass the exit to CIIA (Car Island International Airport/Airlines), finally you go to SR-376. Finally, you get to Exit 49B and you can see the Fuelantic Ocean. Turn left, go straight, and then you made it Nevada. Then go to I-495 and go take an express train to Las Vegas and you are there! We probably needed to take an RV so Frederick the RV helped. "I'll take you to Las Vegas." said the big old RV. The inside of Frederick looked clean and comfortable. The microwave was not radioactive. Frederick would leave after they took the train at 11:30 AM to Las Vegas and Frederick would pick us up at the train station when the break ended. Or we could live in Frederick have the time to be in the rest area. The United States of Cars was pretty different from life in Car Island. There was a Staue of Liberty (fake) and the Eiffel Tower (faker). The Eiffel Tower was supposed to be seen in France, and the Statue of Liberty in New York. I never learned that there was a fake Statue of Liberty and a fake Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. Melvin says there are many Eiffel Towers connecting the telophone wires but they are electricity pylons.

From My Diary:

11/21/06

Dear Diary,

No school! Me, Andy and Cousin Nathan are out for a trip to Las Vegas, Neveada (The United States of Cars).
--- Frank

Well long after that, it was Thursday, and my engine was starting to burst! I couldn't take living in Frederick. I was bored. No World Car comics could help me. I just wish--- we could go back to Car Island as fast as possible! Finnaly, I couldn't stop thinking about Car Island and school. My carburetor couldn't take it anymore. Cousin Nathan tried to comfort me. "Well, we know you can't take it anymore." he said. "But just relax." I felt much better. I think that it happens to be "Greetings from Las Vegas" right in our passports!

Sneak peak in a Comic Zone Magazine:
"Greetings from Las Vegas"

Don't forget your passports, everybody! Lets hit the road!

G-Chat: How it all started

FRANK: Hi Andy. No school!
ANDY: Yes it is. Do you think we should go somewhere for our Thanksgiving vacation!
FRANK: Sure! Why don't we go to Las Vegas?
ANDY: Great! I'll grab my passport and start packing!
FRANK: Uh...
Andy has signed off...

FRANK: Hello?!
FRANK: ANNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDY!!!!!!

E-mail Central:Microsoft E-mail

To: andy86@treehousecomix.org
From: frankfargo@treehousecomix.org

Andy,

Have you gotten your passport and started packing? Whoa! Don't be such a race car! I was about to tell you I haven't packed. But anyway, since I've finished, why don't we go out? I'll meet you at the Car Island Rest Area For RVs at 9:45.
---Frank
To: frankfargo@treehousecomix.org
From: andy86@treehousecomix.org

Frank,

Good thing you've packed. Just 15 minutes before I'm driving out the door! Hurry up! I'm getting impatient!
---Andy

Whew! Its November 28th! Only a few more days and then its back to school! I feel happy and sad. What I mean is just that I am happy, but I still miss my hometown! But it is great to be back soon! Well, Car Island, here I come!

November 30th:

I can't stand it! I just can't stand it! The train station is closed, so we have to go to the subway station which is open except for holidays! Me and Andy are having a minor dilemma. WE STARTED TO BE HAPPY AND SAD. (I did that all in capital letters because it was a BIG BIG BIG minor dilemma.) I wasn't feeling relaxed on the subway. I realized buses were driving around in the rim of the tunnels! What am I thinking? Is this a dream?! No! Cause when Fred had been riding subways in Carsville, buses usually drive on the rim of tunnels! It was so ucomfortable in the subway. Finally, when we got to Car Island Subway Station, Frederick gave us a ride home. First Cousin Nathan was dropped off, my aunt and uncle, then me and Andy. We were so happy that we drove into the treehouse really fast and yelled "Sakes alive!" It was a truly, "half good half ok" vacation.

Frank and Andy have wondrous adventures in Downtown Car County on their summer vacation. I bet a lot of Comic Zone fans from Car Island have been coming! Here some comments from the Comic Zone readers from Car Island:




Fred Buckley: Age 6:



Well, I'm the genius in Frank and Andy's class. Frank and Andy have the most creative comic making ever!

Melvin Berger: Age 6 1/2:

Duh...

Aron Marcini: Age 6 3/4:

Constantly CRAZY COOL!

Dav: Age 7: Duh... Their books are no better than mine.

Nathan Radcliffe: Age 7:

TOTALLY IRRESISTIBLE!

Unknown:

I'm one of Frank's old friends in Car Country. Their comics our TOTALLY IRRESISTIBLE!

News lately:

Aloha, everyone! Frank and Andy are off to Hawaii, one of the USC (United States of Cars). Andy and Frank enjoys this tropical time in Hawaii. There is no fame in Hawaii so Frank and Andy moved to New York City, where fame was everywhere. In New York, there was one mall that sold Frank and Andy's guidebooks, and of course, hard disks on them. The biggest thing is, they have been so famous. There are 4 Hollywood's: 1 in Downtown Car Island, one in New York City, one in Las Vegas, and one in Los Angeles,CA. 2 in the USC, one in CI (Car Island). Frank and Andy are in it again!

Channel 6 News Headline (89.5 FM):

>>REPORTER: Hi. This is Reporter Larry Skladowski with your Car Island Times news report.
We have got something new that has been reported on this worldwide national news headlines. 6 year old comic illustrator and author Frank and Andy are doing it again! They our famous for the Hollywood in New York City, NY in the USC. They have gotten lucky, very lucky, just to be famous for their all-time comics written, illustrated, "published" comics at Treehouse Comix, Inc. Finally, Frank and Andy got their latest "boyish" fashion: a new paint style! Their paint style is what race cars look like (if you've ever been to a NASCAR race or anything like that). And now to Frank and Andy for their big comments, hopes, and dreams
>>>FRANK & ANDY: Well, its like back in the 1st magazine. And we do have the most greatest life in Hollywood. I mean, its just, so exciting that I can't believe it! I mean, this is just our dreams coming true. Nothing else.

G-Chat:How it all started

FRANK: Hi, Andy. Its great to be 6. These are one of the things that never make me want to go to 2nd grade.
ANDY: I have that feeling too, Frank. Don't be so desperate. Lets think about where we are going to go for summer vacation! I can't wait!
FRANK: For one thing, we probably have to go to someplace tropical, soothing, and relaxing. Somewhere with good weather, you know, sunny. A lot of beach fun! Nowhere else but Hawaii, USC.
ANDY: Thats great!
Andy has signed off...

FRANK: Hello?

E-mail Central:

To: andy86@treehousecomix.org
From: frankfargo@treehouse.org

Andy,

I don't think we should go to Hawaii. There is no fame! Hawaii is just a small island sitting on the
Gasific Ocean. We aren't even famous for it! We have to go to someplace with fame, someplace
where we are famous for, like New York City! Really. We have to.

Your Friend, Frank
Replied email:

To: frankfargo@treehousecomix.org
From: andy86@treehousecomix.org

Frank,

You are right! I really want a friend who's a genius. Our hopes and dreams are to be famous for
our comics! We really need a place that has fame! Thanks for reminding!

Your Friend, Andy

Trend Report:

There hasn't been a lot of fame. Channel 6 News is finding out whether there really is fame in New York or not. But news reporters of the Car Island believe the Hollywood in Downtown CI has told the other 2 Hollywood's. If Frank and Andy also believe it, then Treehouse Comix will lose its fame!

Big News Reports:

Frank and Andy claims that there really is a little bit of fame. But the big thing was that they had been thinking about having big fame with hopes and dreams.
Well, its been weeks since fame has been going on. Maybe there are no technical diffuculties at all.

Comic Zone Fans tell all Treehouse Comix published comics are creative and fantastic if they have any design technique or having the ability in the guidebooks.

Comments From Frank and Andy:

Well, our new paint style is totally cool. It is actually a Treehouse Comix logo, which is really a race cars logo. Optionally, it could be a World Car logo and makes you feel like you're World Car.

What Do You Think? Comments:

Alan: Age 6:

Well, Frank and Andy's guidebooks have the idea of how to get the ability. I think that they are great!

Aron Marcini: Age 6 3/4:

Well, I can't wait to see the new comic series. Why not Frank and Andy write some new comic series? I'm getting extttttttttttttttttremly bored!

Tree House Comix's COMIC ZONE MAGAZINE: Frank and Andy's Brand New Superhero:Wonder Boy

Big adventures in the magazine:

FRANK AND ANDY'S NEW SUPERHERO COMING SOON ON TREE HOUSE COMIX

News lately:

Frank and Andy are inventing a new superhero coming soon on the Tree house Comix web page:
Wonder Boy! Now its World Car: the ultimate super car that is faster than a speeding race car,
more powerful than wrestlers, and able to fly over tall skyscrapers without getting buumped vs. Wonder Boy: Faster than a bullet train, more powerful than a robot, and able to escape robot claws without ripping his own cape! Which one will be tougher? Guess! Both! Frank and Andy's all time superheroes are always the same tough!
Comic Zone's TREND REPORT:

Can Wonder Boy also become a "come to life" superhero? Maybe. Frank and Andy believe that
Wonder Boy could in all kinds of ways. Like the Frank's Adventures with World Car chapter books that haven't appeared on the Tree House Comix web page. If Wonder Boy became a "come to life" superhero there has to be Frank's Adventures With Wonder Boy chapter book series.

Feelings from Frank and Andy:

We are thrilled to write the Wonder Boy series. We can be famous for them. Well, we'd hate to say "Goodbye World Car" so we can write more World Car comics and start writing Wonder Boy comics.

G-Chat:

FRANK: Hi Andy, how are you today?
ANDY: Good. Do you think we should do some superficial comic book work at the tree house?
FRANK: What do you mean?
ANDY: Writing comics about a new superhero, of course. Writing just World Car comics is not enough. We just got back from a vacation to Downtown and been famous for Hollywood. We have to improve, you know.
FRANK: I know, I know. Doing that would be great! Meet me at the tree house at 10:00 sharp.

Frank and Andy have signed off...
This chat was the story of how Wonder Boy was invented. We hope you enjoy it!

Whats New:

The Wonder Boy comics have been famous for Hollywood, Mission Del Capistrano, and Car Town Mall! Frank and Andy cannot believe that the first 3 places they had been famous for Wonder Boy were the new places were the new places the World Car comics had been famous for.

A Comment From Andy:

Well, its just; so surprising! I... I just can't believe it! I mean, those 3 places think our design technique is great; compared to Dav.

G-Chat:

treehousecomix.org: I can't believe it Dav, that those 3 places think our design technique is great; compared to yours. And its true!
dav77: Its not true. After all, you may not be my editor and illustrator anymore.
treehousecomix.org: No, no, no, no. They don't mean that. Your books are still good. Its just that
our skills are above and beyond, that is.
dav77: Oh I didn't know that. I'm as dumb as Melvin. He can understand. Well, he's come to my house, And you can explain the entire think to him.
dav77 has signed off...
Melvin Berger: Hi Frank and Andy.
treehousecomix.org: Hi Melvin. Did you know our skill of comic writing is above and beyond?
Melvin Berger: I do. Dav just told me when he finished chatting.
treehousecomix.org: I was about to explain the whole thing.
Melvin Berger: Thats OK. By the way, I have to go home now. Bye!
Melvin Berger and treehousecomix.org have signed off...

Sports Report:

Frank and Andy had a substitute PE teacher who worked at the bookstore in Mission Del Capistrano. Plus, he knew all about the Wonder Boy series and told everybody about what he knew about Wonder Boy.

A Comment From Frank:

Well, The best time in Car Island is not just fun and games, but writing comics and publish them.
I believe its great to be in Car Island.

Tree House Comix's COMIC ZONE MAGAZINE (Frank and Andy's Adventures in Downtown) Life at Hollywood (continued)

Frank and Andy's big style to comics are very seriously creative to all Hollywood stars. And now to a sneak peek at Frank Fargo's Guide On How To Make A Comic:

Tips:

1. Having and idea of how to make your comic comes put of your imagination. So you have to brainstorm all your ideas out.
2. When you make a comic, your ideas must be fully brainstormed. If not, you won't have anything to write on that paper.
3. If you are finished with your comic, make sure you staple the pages neatly. If not, it will be hard to open it.
4. If you made a hard disk on this guide book, make sure you use Windows and Macintosh.
5. Think differently! If you make a mistake, its not the end of the world. That's why they invented erasers.
6. Your tools: A pencil, an eraser, and a stapler.
Comic Zone's Trend Report:

The Comic Zone fans can all tell that Andy's guide on how to illustrate a comic is interactive. It helps comic book illustrators of the 21st century get their idea of creative pictures they should put in their comics. It encourages illustrating. Its like a magic research guide on comic illustrating.

Sports Report:

Frank and Andy have taken sea driving (swimming) in a fitness center just for kids. And their swimming teacher is a Hollywood star! However, Frank and Andy asked their swimming teacher if they heard about their comic series design technique. And he did! "It was the most fascinating time in my entire life! Frank says. Even more, Andy's cousin, Matthew takes soccer lessons in the same fitness center in Downtown Car Island. And his teacher is also a Hollywood star and even knows him!

Sneak peek at Andy's Guide On How To Illustrate A Comic:
Tips:
1. No artwork is complete without lines. If you don't have lines, you don't have the ability.
2. A quick research guide on Windows Mac can be downloaded on Flashget with Windows and Macintosh.
3. Everyone likes color to pictures. If you do black and white, that will be like long ago.
4. If you use crayons or colored pencils, marker can be good outlining.
5. You can use crayons, colored pencils and paint to color. If you use marker, the ink will damage your picture. So its better to not use marker.
6. If you want to learn all these tips, you can use a hard disk using Windows and Macintosh or read more of the book.
7. Don't forget your tools! Your tools: Crayons, colored pencils, a pencil for lines, and markers for outlining.


Have you ever seen famous artwork? Do you want to draw pictures like that in comics? Well, this guide book can show you how to get the ability to it. Tip: You might get to learn all about it on a hard disk using Macintosh.
The first thing is you need lines. Not just 1 kind of line, all kinds! Straight, curved, zigzag, wavy, dotted, any kind! Then you need the background. What do you want it to be? Big city? Dessert? Nature? Train station? Of course! It can be any kind. The last thing you need is really important. The plot! This is what the plot is:
Title of book: World Car vs. The SUV Zombies From Outer Space
Place: Car Island
Date: 5/15/07
Time: 3:25 PM
Whats Going On: World Car is fighting the SUV zombies. They are really hard to fight.

So the plot is details. And if you don't have it, how does the reader know what happens in the story?

Comic Zones Most Impossible News:

Mission Del Capistrano is the most finest place in Downtown Car Island! There is a big bookstore in a giant shopping center in Southern Mission Del Capistrano. Frank and Andy had seen World Car comics in the bookstore on sale! Frank and Andy had never been famous for Mission Del Capistrano. Suddenly they found out Hollywood told the bookstore manager about Frank and Andy's design technique and their guide books! How mighty strange.
Trend Report:

Car Town Mall has been the most famous mall in Car Town, a part of Downtown Car Island has been famous for 120 years! It had been opened in 1768 and lasted for all the way to 2007! Amazing! There is a bookstore in the mall selling Frank and Andy's guide books. The guide books are different from how Frank and Andy wrote them. Comic Zone fans believe that the bookstore manager edited them before selling them. How interesting!

How Life At Hollywood Is Going:
Very good! Andy's dad has many videos on World Car comics on his computer as well as hard disks with Windows and Macintosh of Frank and Andy's guide book. Many have been sent to Hollywood. Plus a Hollywood star sent an email to Frank! When Hollywood stars comment more about Frank and Andy's design technique, the better the life is. So there isn't any problem of life in Hollywood at all.

Trend Report:

Hollywood stars believe that Frank and Andy's style on making comics have been getting much better. Frank and Andy can believe in what Hollywood believes if Hollywood's integrity comes true.

Thats the end of the magazine. Hope you enjoy it.

Treehouse Comix's COMIC ZONE MAGAZINE: Frank and Andy's All New Superhero: All about Wonder Boy

Comic Zone's TREND REPORT:

Wonder Boy, the all new superhero can become the all new "come to life" superhero indeed.

Feeling from Frank and Andy:

We feel thrilled indeed. We can be famous for this new superhero and we can make TV shows of it like the World Car comics. We'd hate to say "good-bye, World Car" because we still want to write World Car comics so we can keep on writing World Car comics and write Wonder Boy comics too.

Treehouse Comix's COMIC ZONE MAGAZINE (Frank and Andys Adventures in Downtown) Life at Hollywood

Comic Zone's News Lately:

FRANK AND ANDY'S LIFE AT HOLLYWOOD

Frank and Andy's comic design technique has been famous everywhere;
even Hollywood! Hollywood stars have been commenting and a little correction for the design technique from Hollywood. When Car Island Times finds out, reporter Larry Skladowski came to Hollywood to interview Frank and Andy's style technique!
A Comment From a Hollywood Star:
George A. Smith

Well, Frank and Andy's style and design technique are pretty good, compared to all the other comic book authors from the past. The design technique is extremely great! I should say "Well done Frank and Andy!" to all their their talent. When I read Frank's guide on how to make a comic, I'm so shocked I could burst! Well, Frank and Andy are the most talented comic book makers to go on the news!

Comic Zone fans have been also been commenting things like this and asking questions like "Have you written any other comic series?" or "How long will you be in business?" and the answer would be "Yes" and never a no.
A Comment from Frank's Dad:

Well, a vacation to Downtown was a good idea. Its how Frank and Andy's life lies before them and they are so lucky to be famous for Hollywood.

To be continued...

Andy's Big Birthday Party

Hi. My name is Frank. My friend Andy has a lot of fun stuff. Its his birthday on January 8th! His birthday party took place at a childrens gym called Gas It Up. It is very fun because it has free arcade games, some jumpers and fun. Car fun locates a gasoline contest for everyone. Everyone in Room E6 had been invited. When we played, we had the most gasoriffic gasoline contest! 3 ties in a row! Jumpers were so fun even one jumper that hadn't been pumped all up so it fell and we got stuck. Fun was the best way to make a birthday party terrific. So birthday parties make a diffrence.

Melvin's New Cell Phone

Hi. My name is Frank. This story is our second Super Special book. Hope you enjoy it.

Melvin got a new cell phone on stock that my dad invented. It was very fun because you could sing Karaoke and play fun games like Karaoke Hero and Extreme Pinball and 30 Pin Complete bowling. Melvin's favorite on the phone was to play Karaoke Hero and Extrme Pinball (even though he stinks at sports)and sing Karaoke. But his most favorite was to sing Karaoke. He sang 3 songs about school: "Recess, Why Can't You Be Longer", "Please Get My Glue, Not Blue", and "I'm Sick Of Driving Staight Lines". One time, he sang a song called "If I Were Teacher" and "Don't Call Me Mr.Unsmart Car." One time he was playing Karaoke Hero and he got a high score that we were amazed. Plus, Melvin was also smart enough to watch movies on his phone. My brother Albert had a cell phone (the same as Melvin's) and he was good at The Complete Piano Lesson Game. So the cell phone was pretty fun.

Dav's New Editor (And Illiustrator)

Hi. My name is Frank. Do you know what my blog is? Yes! Its my world famous comic book website! (And I bet you know it because I put it in the chapter books of my adventures with World Car, the comic book character I'm working on.)Plus I had an
E-mail from Dav, who is writing on black and white cartoon comics and chapter books.
Dav is looking for an editor and illustrator. I hope he wants me to be his editor.
because I am a good speller,that's why. Now here's what he said:
To: frankfargo@treehousecomix.org
From: dav77@wepublishcomix.org
Hi Frank,

Its tough having an author its self doing the job is hard. But the thing is, you can be my
editor. I have an attached file you need to give to Andy. He can illustrate for me because black and white, I have to use a printer. And when he does it, I'll use a color printer.

--- Dav

P.S,- My address is 1486 Del Carrillo Road.

Well, we could help Dav whenever he calls. I replied to him pretty soon on my laptop:

To: dav77@wepublishcomix.org
From: frankfargo@treehousecomics.org

Dav,

Come to my house and see what our comics look like. That's how we are going to make your books. Andy will be there too. When we do your books and you publish them, you can be the most world-famous author. My address is 5 Engine Road. Thanks!
---Frank

So Dav became the 2nd world-famous author in car Island. So that was the story of how Dav got his editor and illustrations.

World Car vs. The SUV Zombies From Outer Space

By Frank and Andy
___________________________________________________________________
Once there was a planet called Planet Zombie World. Planet Zombie World was a big zombie planet. It was 5 miles away from World Car's planet, Planet Superhero.

One day, in Planet Zombie World, 5 villain's came. They were the SUV zombies from Zombie World.
SUV Zombie 1: We shall destroy Earth!
SUV Zombie 3: Yes we should!
However, they flew to Earth and attacked a nearby school in Car Island.
Children: Help! The SUV Zombies from outer space turned the principal to a zombie!
Child: This looks like a job for...
Children (shouts): World Car!
(World Car flys down to school.)

World Car did not give up, because he was faster than a speeding race car, more powerful than wrestlers, and able to fly tall skyscrapers without getting bumped!

Then World Car pressed a button on his Utility Keyboard and out came the "Bomb of Doom."
He threw it at the Zombies, and... KA-BOOM!

Everything remained normal again.

Children: Hooray for World Car!!!

Timothy Walker's Birthday

Hi. My name is Frank. Today is March 25th--- My friend, Timothy Walker's birthday! We celebrated his birthday at school. Melvin even made a birthday song for Timothy:

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you (Cha cha cha!)."
"Happy Birthday to Timothy, Happy Birthday to you."
"(Ending:) Ku-pa-la! Ma-la-la! Tra-la-la! Boo-la-la!"
________________________________________________________________________
We sang that birthday song and Mr.Williams told us not to turn the song to playtime. During snack Timothy's mom came by and offered us a bin of sugar free X cookies from Business Day. After school, Timothy invited my class to a slumber party for his birthday and everybody could stay up late if they wanted to and there was a sleepover!

Cupcake Business

Hi. My name is Frank. Today was an important day--- Business day! We all had to think up a business. Votes were taken, and soon a business was completed--- CIESCPM; Car Island Elementary School Cupcake Making. Several fund-raisers were planned. The soon we started to sell the cupcakes. Our class was selling the most in a day. How great! At first Timothy Walker was had trouble with selling his burger cupcakes. He was planning to sell them for 50 cents. Finally he decided, 25 cents. Spider web cookies were 50 cents, X cookies were $3.99, World Car cupcakes 68 cents (For that was my idea), and that was it. But we had to make cupcake flavors; for the Robbie's Bakery annual clearance! At first we started commercials--- one was funny than the others! Here was the funny commercial:

"Fred: Everybody loves cupcakes; see for yourself!"
(And there show an image of Fred splatting a cupcake on Timothy Walker.)

"Frank (cheering): C-I-E-S-C-P-M--- Get your cupcakes at that company!"
(And there shows some black with the names of the cupcakes and the prices;;;)
____________________________________________________________

At the Robbie's Bakery Annual Clearance Party, it was a sucsess! We said our commercials without forgetting our lines. And we shouted the correct words while at the cupcake stands. Everything went really well.

The School Field Trip (Super Special) Part 2

We saw a young man right in front of the line. He looked strange. "Hi. My name is Mr. Jordan. "I'm your tour guide for the day." "What is Old Town Car Island?" asked Aron. "Well Old Town is a historical state park which was actually a part of Car Island that they didn't make new.'' 1st, Mr. Jordan showed us Maggie's Clothing Shop. "This clothing shop is admiring. It never became old. In fact, it never went bankrupt. The workers have worked there for over 100 years!" Next came a Toy'R' Us. "Still not bankrupt and never old!" said Mr. Jordan. Mr. Jordan also reminded us that almost everything in most of the shops and most of the shops were about 300 years old! The third was The Dentist Emporium. It was old. And so did everything in it. It went bankrupt in 1888. Finally, something just like the field trip. Trolley tours! We saw the sights and heard the sounds of Old Town. When that passed it was time to leave.

The End.

The School Field Trip (Super Special) Part 1

Hi. My name is Frank. Its a pleasure to meet you. Check out this new super special book!
Oh, you want to hear what happened in the book, huh? Well, no prob then.

"All right, all right, settle down." said my 1st grade teacher, Mr. Williams. You can call him Mr.W. "We will be taking a field trip today.'' Everyone cheered. Mr. Williams honked his horn. "To Old Town Car Island." "Right now?" asked Fred. "Yes." replied Mr. Williams. Melvin Berger raised his hand. "Where is Old Town Car Island?" "You'll find out." said Fred, the school brainiac. Finally, the clock struck 9. The bell rang. "Field trip!" yelled the first graders. A whole line of school buses were in front of the school entrance. It looked like Franklin the steam train pulling a long line of freight cars. Some were just regular buses. Our class took a school bus. Melvin went in front. Right where the GPS was. He looked at the directions very carefully. First down North Fwy 129, then take Exit 82b, to South hwy 805, to Exit 100a, right turn at Main St., left at Miriam Ln., down East Bernardo Center Rd., to South 5 Fwy...

Bill took the junction to 8 East Fwy. He took I. 205 South. Melvin looked at the GPS some more.

... to Exit 95x, down 2 Track Railway Rd. (That was all.)

When the bus stopped at the railway, Franklin the steam train was there; pulling a long line of freight cars full of baggage, cargo, coal, luggage, lumber, plywood etc.

Finally when bus stopped at a Bus Parking Only parking zone in Old Town Ln. We got out of the
bus.

Thats the end of Part 1. Please read Part 2.

The Case of the Disappearing Honeybees, Part 7

It'd soon be the last book, I thought. But my brain sent me a message. "It could be too late." "But what if it isn't too late?" But it now wasn't the last book though. The next book would be the last book and the adventure would go quickly. But Alan didn't want want to wait to long. He found another school: Adobe Bluff. And he went on the website. He found out that there was something at that school which made it very fast to get to the Eastern California garden. He told the others about it. "You mean, we could borrow one of their airplanes or helicopters?" asked Andrew. "Yeah." said Alan. "Check out their website." So Alan showed the others the Adobe Bluff school website: www.adobebluffelementaryschool.com. The website was a non-fiction website. Of course they found out soon enough about the aircraft in the playground. So Alan borrowed 5 helicopters from Adobe Bluff. In fact, it was the last book. Everyone got into their helicopters, and flew east. Pretty soon, I found Eastern California State Garden on my monitor screen. The same old garden the bees had been. I called the others by radio and soon they found
the garden. I pressed a button on the helicopter and out came the hive my dad had made. The bees went in the hive and shared their colony with the only honeybee flying around the hive.

The End.

This Part 7: The End?

The Exploded Dune Buggys

Hi. My name is Frank. There's something terrible that happened to my dune buggy. (The buggy I rode in that dune buggy race.) But any way, the remaining ingredients that caused the terrible dune buggy thingy was a buggy crash, a broken engine-and-exhaust system, fire, and a huge explosion. Hint: you might now what happened, so I'll put the answer in small letters so you can't read it. (A:My buggy exploded.). So, anyway, I'll tell you what happened. Today was Saturday, and we made up a race. Everyone watched from the side fence. Cars gathered up without driving. (And you know cars can't drive cars, but this is a fiction book; anyway; btw) "On your marks..." said Security. "get set..." "Go!!!" We sped off the street. (The cars aren't driving around today; btw; for the race;) First we drove through Car Island, then around Car Island, then back. Things didn't go all that seriously because I didn't win the race. I'll explain it to you. When racing through Car Island, I accidentally pushed a dune buggy hard and overtook it. A few minutes later, it was a dead heat. I went too fast; I wanted to be the 1st one to reach the next race but I crashed into buggy. The crash caused 960% of fuel loss, one disconnected alarm in one buggy, a hot wired engine in another, and burning fire in the buggy engines. (That looks like a job for--- fire engines!) And kaboom to go; an one-hundred-and-eighty degree explosion (a very big explosion). The cars weren't killed; but the road was ruined and me and Aron's buggy's were broken down. But anyway, a road paving machine fixed the road in a hurry, and my Grandpa Ed built us new buggy's; anyway.
Later that day, me and Andy decided to have a talk with it. "Gee, I guess I shouldn't go obsessing about winning the race. Right, Andy?" I said. "Yep." said Andy. "Like the old saying always says: ' " Don't go obsessing about winning a race like Lightning McQueen.' "

Epilogue: That evening, Car Island International News (CIIN) reported two exploded dune buggys.

Epilogue 2: The crowd booed at the exploded dune buggys.

The Case of the Disappearing Honeybees, Part 6

Things were different later that day. News 8 (which Andrew kept calling it Eyewitness News) was on TV. "How very smart the boys are." said a reporter. "Yeah.'' said another reporter. "I hated it when Rastko's plan didn't work, but Alan is lucky to have a better plan!" A third reporter said: "Its a great thing that you spotted a disappearing honeybee, Harold." "Yep." said all the 5 boys. "Maybe we make a great team!'' said Andrew. After Andrew said the word "team", reporters started to arrive with their cameras, taking pictures and everything. FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! "May we have your autograph?" said one of the reporters. "Have you solved any other mystery's?" said another reporter. "Do you really make a great team?" said a third reporter. Finally, all of the people at home watching the story on Eyewitness News, as well as the people watching the story on Channel Ten KUSI News, decided that the 5 friends really were a great team. So they all watched some more of the story.

To be continued...

This is Part 6, Eyewitnessing a Disappearing Honeybee Mystery. Remember that now.

The Case of the Disappearing Honeybees, Part 5

At school the next morning, when it was recess time, I was writing clues for the disappearing honeybee mystery when a honeybee flew by. I quickly ran to Alan, Andrew, Rastko, and Cameron. "Psst... I just saw a honeybee!" The 5 friends ran after the bee fast and speedy. I got a storage bag from my pants pocket. Then I caught the bee and closed the zipper all the way quickly. At 2:30, when class dismissed, all the students of Carmel Creek Elementary had gone home. At my house, I put the bee into a beehive my dad made. The next day, before school, me and Alan stopped for a look at the newspaper. Alan saw that he, me, Andrew, Cameron and Rastko were famous. "5 Smart Dectetives Age 6 Solve Honeybee Mystery? Great!" he exclaimed. Later in the afternoon, me and Alan told Rastko, Andrew, and Cameron about the newspaper. They could not belive it. Soon, the news was passed from one person to another.

(1 hour later)

"Come on.'' said Cameron. ''We need to think of more plans.'' So everybody went to Andrew's house. Andrew was ABC (American Born Chinese), so his parents spoke Chinese. The friends all zoomed upstairs to Andrew's room and shut the door so Andrew's naughty baby sister, Dora, would get in the way. Andrew obviously called his little sister Jiajia (for that was her Chinese name). The boys thought and thought and thought. They thought until 3:00. They thought until a light bulb came in Alan's head. ''That's it!'' he said. Before everybody had a chance to say "whats it ?'', Andrew sneezed. 一 吧岁！shouted Andrew's father from downstairs. Finally, everyone said: "Whats it?" "In our last book" said Alan. "We will go to the garden and yell to the bees: "Come on bees! More honey in San diego!" "Then the bees will think flower nectar extended in San Diego. Then, they will fly back!" It was a great idea. So everybody stuck to Alan's idea.

(Sunday, 1:01 pm)

"Okay." said Alan. "I'll prove that I am correct." "Hand stack time." I said. "ONE FOR ALL..." yelled Andrew. "AND ALL FOR ONE!!!" shouted everybody. "OK." said Rastko. "Lets stick with my plan." "We'll let Harold's dad drive his car all the way to the garden in eastern California, bringing Harold's trumpet along. When we see the bees, Harold will play "Flight of the Bumblebee", the bees will listen, then fly back to San Diego. "That's a great idea!" exclaimed Andrew. So Harold's dad drove the 4 friends to the garden and there were the bees. The bees were sharing a hive with another swarm of bees. The hive was on the garden house roof. "OK." said Harold. He got out his trumpet. Then, he played "Flight of the Bumblebee" on the trumpet. Suddenly, the bees stopped collecting the nectar from the flowers. "Thats it. Its working." said Andrew. Soon, the bees looked at me, Andrew, Rastko, and Alan. Then, they went back to collecting nectar. "Rrrrats.'' said Alan. "It worked, almost.

Honeybees, Inc. (Book 1)

Honeybees, Inc. was the best work in Bugsville, Bug Island. All the bugs, especially the kiddie bugs, enjoyed eating Honeybees, Inc's sweet, thick, and golden honey. Every weekday, the honeybees would spend their time at Honeybees, Inc. collecting flower nectar. Worker bees put the nectar into nectar tanks that had white stripes with unbreakable glass that went from a little bit of red to a lot of red when you poured nectar in it. The worker bees put the nectar in a machine. The nectar was poured into honey containers that were empty. The nectar tanks were recycled. The nectar was sweetened, thickened and colored into a light bronze gold color. Retired seniors were hornets. Honeybees, Inc. was just like the work for beetles--- Energy Waste, Inc.--- in charge of turning waste into energy--- the best work ever! One time there were commercials for Honeybees, Inc. and Energy Waste, Inc. The commercials said that without enough nectar and waste, there wouldn't be enough energy or honey. Honey made from Honeybees, Inc. was put in a truck and shipped to the stores. Kiddie honeybees and kiddie beetles were proud of their mothers and fathers work.

The Case of the Disappearing Honeybees, Part 2

The next day at school, I sat at my desk with my 4 friends, Andrew, Alan, Rastko, and Cameron. We all thought about the mystery. "Hm, Gordon William knows that the honeybees wanted to find more nectar. Maybe, hes right! We just don't know where a bee would find a place where he thinks there is a lot of nectar in eastern California." I had a tree house in my backyard. Mostly, me and my friends would climb up the tree house ladder, go into the tree house, and solve mysteries. We called it "The 6 Year Old Club" because we were age 6 and were neighbors. (6 days later) At 10:20 in the morning, everyone reported at the clubhouse. "Well, the bees could have flew to a garden with lots of flowers." said Alan. "That's it!" said Andrew, who was very smart. "Whats it?" said me, Rastko, and Alan. "Alan was right." said Andrew. "The bees really and truly could have flown to a garden with thousands and thousands of flowers. Alan, the school brainiac definintly was right. Me and Rastko shrugged. Was Alan was right or wrong? Only one way to find out. Tune in for our next adventure, "The Case of the Disapearring Honeybees, part 3, "The Mystery Clues."

The Case of the Disapearring Honeybees

PBS News (89.5 FM)

"Honeybees used to be happily collecting flower nectar and turning them into honey. This has happened for 20 days and the bees have flew to somewhere else. Scientists have tried to find out, but they couldn't figure out. After 2 days later, scientist Gordon William said he saw the bees flying away. ''The bees were flying east." he said. "They probably think that there isn't enough nectar in San Diego and flew to the other side where they think there is honey." Scientists knew that the bees flew to eastern California. Only a smart detective and solve this mystery."

I, Harold, simply liked to listen to mysterious news. Why? I'm a detective. Harold O' Brien, Private Eye. "Hmm, this could be a sign of a mystery. " I thought to myself.

Scary Tales vol. 1

There is an old rope bridge called "The Old Timber Bridge" in Midnight Crossing. Right next to the Old Timber Bridge there is a haunted castle. A vampire lives in the castle and it is his private castle.The vampire lives with his ultra-slimy creature. There were thunderstorms during midnight everyday. One time the vampire and the slimy creature were in an old Ford Model T when the clock stroke midnight. The Old Timber Bridge was really long, and the vampire hadn't made it to the end. The vampire looked at his watch. It was 12:00 AM! The thunderstorm arrived. Lightning killed the two to death. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind caused the hubcap of a tire to fall off. The tire went wobbling. The strong gust of wind grew stronger and stung the vampires face. The car, the vampire, and the really slimy creature got blown off the bridge and into the deep, dark sea where they got stung by stingrays, attacked by squids and octupouses, and eaten by a shark. The End.

The Invention Show

I made a Squish-a-Tron 2000 with help from my dad (hes an inventor). It was a machine that squashed things. Things didn't go good, so Fred Buckley won 1st place. After assembling the C2900096 Biocapacitating versifier, the X34518926 Mechanic Chip, Squashie Squishie 100% Squashers, and a blast of motor oil in the oil tank, the Squish-a-Tron 2000 was ready. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Frank and I am 6 years old. The next day, I was getting ready. "You think you can make it?" said Andy. (Cars don't need seats and they need ramps.) Well, this is what didn't go good. Please don't laugh okay? During 11:30am, the time when the show started, me and Andy were the first ones up. Andy said "I'd like to present an invention my friend, Frank, made with his dads help. The Squish-a-Tron 2000! I placed 2 apples on the glass screen of the machine and pressed 'Start'. Suddenly, squishers came out from small tubes. They began squishing and squashing the apples until applesauce fell on the children. SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT! The children howled with laughter. "It isn't funny!" said Fred. Fred was the next up. He showed his Gear-O-Matic 4000 to the audience. Everyone was amazed. And for some reason, he won 1st place. Epilogue: I added (cars do not need seats or ramps) because Frank and Andy were talking on the school bus.

The Adventures Of Jimmy The Dog

Jimmy wasn't always a dog, first he was his body parts and a battery canister, which made him do friendly barks at his friends and mean growls at the bullies. His bow tie used to be a strip of cloth. He was made in China. The workers put his ears on his head, then put the battery canister inside his body, put it on the side of his head, attached his feet to the bottom of his body, put his "paintbrush-like" tail on the back of his body, tied the strip of cloth around his neck, and finally stuck the tags. He was soon shipped to America in the 1900s on a big boat. Jimmy fell asleep on the way to USA and dreamed that he was with a dog family and wished that he was too. When Jimmy awoke, he found himself on a shelf in a store in San Diego, California during the present. Hundreds of Jimmy's were surrounding him, all over the shelf. In 2007, a baby took him out of the store without paying. His wish had came true--- the baby that took him out of the store liked him and he soon belonged to a dog family. he met a friend named Teddy, a teddy bear that belonged to the babys brother when he was a baby. The world soon became special for Jimmy, and became his home.

Car Island Learns Magic

It was a very sunny day in Car Island. Ricky did lots of magic. He thought it was fun, so he showed his parents, just to show off. The next day, Ricky shouted a magic word and made his jam sandwich 6 inches high into the air. "Whoa, Ricky." said my brother Albert. "You are a very talented magician!" Andy told me ''Frank, I didn't know that Ricky could make tons of magic." "Yeah." I whispered back. "Ricky sure loves to make magic!" Then I asked Ricky "Ricky, could you show us your magic tricks?" "Of course I can!" said Ricky. He showed us during recess. He teached us once in the morning and twice in the afternoon. Everyone had to pay $1.00. Then he made his own magic show TV commercials, opened up a magic store, and made a TV commercial on his magic store, and was the winner for the school talent show!

Fred's Big Mistake

Fred had just had his lesson of how to do cool tricks. He showed it to me, Frank and Andy and the rest of the cars over at the butte. "And my favorite tricks are "The Psycho Skid" and "The Mega Bash". Fred started his engine and zoomed off. There were rocky cliffs. So Fred braked hard, causing him to skid on the dirt. When the dust cleared, Fred was rusty and his tires were dirty. Soon, he showed us the Mega Bash. He sped off and hit a dirt pile with his bumper. Then his bumper was rusty. Soon, he showed us more tricks. Then, he raced off.. He started to do tricks, like the Multi Zoom and the Ultra Swerve. Then, there was trouble. Giant rocks came off the mountains and blocked Fred's way. Fred bashed hard. The next thing he realized was he would be sent to a steep ledge straight to a pile of giant rocks that would not collapse from bashing if he went to fast. His Mega Bash didn't cause the rocks to move out of the way. "Aw, man!" he cried. "I better get back to the butte entrance! He drove backward, made a wild turn, and sped straight back to the local butte entrance. "Gee, I guess you need to learn how to be safer." said Andy. "Right, Frank?" "Yes" I replied. Then I sprayed Rusty Bumper Shiner medicated bumper ointment on Fred. Then Andy took Fred to the car wash for polishing. Then Fred never made mistakes again.

A New Town Is Born

Car Island wasn't always a place where everyone would get together and play. Long ago, it was old and run-down. The interstate wasn't built and no shops were anywhere. And the big city was just Model T's driving on a bumpy road. Well, not a lot of Model T's, that is. Well, the towns attorney, Stanley, wanted the town with a smooth road, lots of shops, and a lot of cars. Soon, everyone arrived with a huge road-paving machine and fixed the road the way Stanley wanted it. Then, workers arrived and built plenty of shops, a junkyard, lots of houses and communities. They also built shopping centers, and restaurants. Soon, they built the prettiest cars they could make. They put the in the Alive-a-Tron 2000. All the cars came to life. There were soon mountains in the distance and soon lots of schools were built. Then girls could go to school and Car Island grew to be a huge city were everyone knew each other.

The Beautiful Day

It was a sunny day in the town of Car Island. I, Frank decited to call my best friend, Andy. We called some more friends. Fred and his brothers, Lena and her brother Dav, Aron Marcini, Stephanie, Melvin , and George and Harold. George and Harold were two troublesome kids, but now they stopped. We also called Arthur. Arthur loved to eat junk food and drink unhealthy drinks, but he was all healthy again. We all took a drive in our dune buggy's. Soon we arrived at an old motel called the ''Wheel Well". It opened up in the 1860s and was still in progress. We stopped for a view of Car Island, wondering what the town looked like in the present. it didn't look old and rundown in the early years, but we thought "Hmm, the town probably had a bumpy section of road. It was probably old in the 1800s before the interstate and the shops were built." Well, we were right. I looked in the scrapbook and saw how old Dad's school had been. Mom didn't go to school in the present, but she taught herself. The next day me and my friends took another drive. Soon we cooled off at Car Creek. We thought about Car Island, read a World Car comic, and took the short way home. It had been a good day--- a peacful day--- a beautiful day.

Friday Memo (2)

On Monday, the school was completely empty. On Tuesday, everybody had to play an upbeat jazz tune for the band recital. One time I blew my trumpet too late.. And Albert, my brother forgot to play his electric piano. And George Weasly's tuba sounded like it was about to explode. Finally, the rest of the days (Tuesday-Friday) continued with lots of fun. Ms. Derkman made us "Principals For The Rest Of The School Year". And if you ask "What do you mean us?" I say "I mean, Frank and Andy." So it was all thanks to me and Andy. We were the really useful cars. And if you think this Friday Memo will go on and on and on, the answer is "yes''. And it will start in the rest of the school years.

Friday Fun Memo

Hi. My name is Frank. I am in 1st grade at Car Island Elementary School. Today an announcement came over the loudspeakers:
Attention teachers and students,

Fred's New Ad

Hi. My name is Frank. Today Fred Weasly, one of my best friends, started an ad called Ask Fred. When we get problems, we "email" him at fredweasly@askfred.com. On Monday, Fred got a question from me:
To:fredweasly@askfred.com
From:frankfargo@treehousecomix.org
Dear Fred,
My comic business is down to -70% and now me and Andy want to get it up to 100%. What should I do?
a.stop making comic books
b.make a lot of copies so everyone can read our comics
c.threaten to stop the ad

Fred answer was "b". On Tuesday Fred got another question from George:
To:fredbuckley@askfred.com
From:georgebuckley@pullingpranks.com
Dear Fred,
The school principal refuses us to pull pranks. What should me and Harold do?
a.tell you all about it and you can help me
b. be like a school brainiac (saying "I'm telling" or "That is so immature!")
c.just stop
d.any of the above
Fred's answer was "d". On Wednesday Fred got another question from Aron Marcini:
To:fredweasly@askfred.com
From:aroncunningham@whenhamstersattack.com
Dear Fred,
I love hamsters, but my pet hamster, Hammy is gone! What should I do?
a.make "lost hamster" signs all over town for a $3 reward
b.find him all over the house
c. If I can't find him in the house, get a new hamster
d. any of the above
Fred's answer was also "d". After Fred received all his questions, he got $1000000. Anna's "sopa'' became fresh again. Me and Andy could sell free comics again. Stephanie's clarinet was fixed. Hammy was found lurking in the toilet. George and Harold decided not to pull pranks anymore. And Melvin kept struggling on his 1st grade homework until he was a smart car. Fred's ad probably worked. Now he could use it on the go. Commercials of "Ask Fred" were here and there and everywhere. Now the entire Buckley family was rich.

The Big Buggy Race (Once Again!)

Today me, Frank, who just turned 7, was talking to one of my best friends, and his name was Fred Weasely. We were talking about having another dune buggy race. Chattering stuff like "Remember what happened in our last book?" and "Our best friends were probably seeing us in the crowd." Fred said that whoever won 1st place would receive a gold Racing Cup, if 2nd silver, 3rd bronze, 4th turquoise, and 5th paper. And Andy decided that the cars whose dads were the worlds coolest race cars in all of Car Island history would win a World Car Comic and 3 gold Racing Cups. Me, Fred, and Melvin used our dune buggy's from the race, while everyone else had to built their own buggys. I asked my dad to build a Trophy Serve-O-Matic 2000 and a Comic Serve-O-Matic 2000. Dad was an inventor. The next day everyone went to my Grandpa Ed's house. I introduced Grandpa Ed to everybody and let everybody put their buggy parts in his Buggy-A-Tron 2000. Finally, the buggy's were all made and painted. Soon the race began. Fred's dad counted the speed. He looked at his speed meter and wrote the speed number on his clipboard. My dad was the announcer. Soon the race began. Our buggy's were going fast for the race or else we would not make it to the finish line on time.

Moving Day

Hi. My name is Frank. I am 5 years old. I didn't always live in #5, Car Colony. That was when I was at the age of 5 and 1/2, 6, 6 and 1/2, and 6 and 3/4. We used to live in in a tunnel entrance leading to a deep, warm and cozy cave in Car Country. It was very, very comfortable in the cave. One evening while we were eating dinner, Dad said: ''We are moving to #5 Car Colony in Car Island.'' I choked. "What did you just say?! I said in a raspy, choking voice. "We are moving to #5 Car Colony." said Dad. "Someone just called us this afternoon and said they were moving to this cave and wants us to move to their house. They live in #5 Car Colony." Now I had known what Dad meant. The next day was the big day to pack up. We packed from morning to afternoon and had packed half of the stuff in the house. Dad said Sunday was the Friday was the extremely special day because it was the day of moving. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we packed up half of the stuff in our house just like Monday. It was summer vacation for graduating to kindergarten and leaving preschool left behind. On Friday, all the boxes were loaded into the moving van. We all went in the car, and followed the moving van, which was going smooth and steady, like the way the car was going. We had a happy life at the new house.
I met a friend my age next door and we became friends for the rest of of their lives.

(Super Special) The Retirement

Hi. My name is Frank. You have heard all my 1st grade stories. In this book I am in kindergarten and I am 5 and a half years old. Now it is time to hear the story. "I have some some bad news." said our teacher, Mr. Johnson. "I am retiring." "Aw, man." said the class. "But don't worry." said Mr. Johnson. "You will still have school and we may see each other always." This gave the class a "Hooray!'' Mr. Johnson had gave them a poem for the retirement cards:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You are retiring,
We will miss you.
Signed,
Your name here

"Can we make our own poems?'' asked Aron Marcini. "Nope." said Mr. Johnson. "Do we have to use stencils? asked Melvin Sneedly. "Of course." replied Mr. Johnson. "Can we make our butterflies purple?'' asked Fred Weasly. "Uh-uh" said the teacher. So everyone wrote the poem, being sure to use their name, while me and my best friend made both a retirement cards and a World Car comic (My tree house was built during the first day of Grade K). When Mr. Johnson saw the comic, he was very impressed. "Frank and Andy," he said. "You have a wild imagination." During recess their was a retirement party with fun and free ice cream (our favorite flavor and Mr. Johnson's "Top 5' flavors). At the end of the school year we were happily
carrying our yearbooks and said "See you later Mr. Johnson! Hope you have a happy retirment!" and drove our buggys home.

Chapter 1: Frank and Andy

This is Frank and Andy. Frank is the car on the left with the pencil, Andy is the one on the right with the comic, Remember that now.

Now, Andy loved to draw, and Frank loved to make up stories. And they spent a lot of time making their best comic book ever: Super kid, Power boy, The Bionic Van 4000 and World Car!

When Frank and Andy were finished with a comic, they put up signs around the neighborhood for cars all around the town to buy or subscribe their comic books.

Chapter 2: www.treehousecomix.org

Frank and Andy also made a website called www.treehousecomix.org. Now here is the story of Boost, Snot Rod, Wingo and DJ. See Chapter 3.
