Question

write a story on the lost book

Answer 1

Stephanie Carlson loved to read. She read whenever she got a chance to. She thought she never had enough time to, though. She thought she never had enough time to enjoy the lives of the characters, feel the suspense of a mystery or the romance of a love story. The truth was, as she discovered later, that she spent way too much time with her nose in books.

In second grade Stephanie discovered Nancy Drew books. She loved them.

In January Stephanie and her family went to visit their grandmother. Stephanie hoped she wouldn’t have to share a room with either of her sisters. Julie always wanted Stephanie to read to her. Then she would ask a million questions. Her other sister, Melanie, who was a year older than Julie, didn’t like it when Stephanie read.

For once Stephanie got her wish to be alone. Now she could read in peace because there weren’t any little sisters around to disturb her.

At nighttime Stephanie pulled out her book to read. The book she was reading was above her reading level, but it was a very exciting mystery so she persisted.

Stephanie just kept on reading and reading. She never paused to look at the clock. When she finally did it was 2:45 in the morning! She decided that it was time to call it quits, so she put down the book and fell fast asleep.

In third grade Stephanie developed a very strong passion for reading. Too strong. She just couldn’t stop. In fact, she loved reading so much that she didn’t stop when her parents told her to. If she was told to stop at 8:30 at night she just couldn’t stop until 9:30 or so.

At school one day Stephanie told her friend Amelia, “I just can’t stop reading. It’s like I’m under a spell to keep going and not stop. I know I like to rread, but I should be able to stop.”

“I think you have Bookitis,” Amelia said. “That’s a bad disease. Not being able to stop is the first stage of it. The next stage is forgetting the real world when you read. As soon as that happens tell me immediately!”

It began to seem like Stephanie was addicted to reading. The addiction was strange, though. Stephanie hated books she was forced to read. Especially books for school.

Nevertheless Stephanie’s love for reading grew steadily. By the time she was ten years old Stephanie brought books to school with her, and not the ones she was supposed to.
