Mr.Linden’s Library

By: Abigail

This story begins in London, England 1835 the day I was seen all over the WORLD. Rosalina was 8 years old. She had brown curly hair that went down to her ¼ of her back, she loved to sing especially with her friends, and Rosalina was wearing her (her favorite color is blue). She was playing out in the fields near her house at Woodberry, Grove London, England. The house is made of limestone. Her and her friends that were all 8 years were playing tag.

 

One of her friends name is Darwin. He is the son of mr. Lionel Linden. He has a buzz-cut. He LOVES the color orange. Nyima (Darwin’s sister) has REALLY dark brown hair that goes down to ½ of her back. Paola was a homeless girl that was let in by Rosalina and her family, she loved having a sister. Luigi was a shy young boy. He has a cap that he painted green. Luigi’s younger sister is Jasmine. She loved to hurt the people that she hated, but Luigi didn’t allow it. Mr. Lionel Linden was the father of Darwin and Nyima. Lionel’s wife Helena died when the kids were only 6 years old.

 

11 years later all the friends were 19. Rosalina, Darwin, Paola, Luigi, Jasmine, and Nyima had a big test to study, so they went to mr. Linden’s library. They got tickets to go on the bus. 29 min later they got to the library. Darwin and Nyima’s dad was working that day. 5 out of the 6 kids found books to study. Rosalina couldn’t find any books that pleased her until she found a book (My name)called “The Book of Horrors” in the mixed section. “PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THAT BOOK!” yelled mr. Linden.

 

“But why? I need something to read?” Asked Rosalina.

 

“That book is dangerous!”

 

“What? Why?”

 

“I can’t tell you. I’m sorry Rosalina.”

 

“ok.”

 

Rosalina thought that maybe she could steal me. She never knew what power I have! When her friends started to leave Rosalina grabbed me and left.

 

It was late that night, Rosalina and her friends went home after partying. She got me out of the bag and went straight to her room. She opened me up and saw the secrets inside of me. I was full of stories of the places I ruled. She saw spells and other mishtuvis things inside of me too! Rosalina finally slept after  3 hours of reading me. I started to make a spell. She got tangled up in poison ivy and I got her life sole! She died in the process of… well you know already.

 

In the morning the next day Paola woke-up Rosalina, but she didn’t know I killed her. Paola came in and said “ROSALINA WAKE-UP IT’S SATURDAY!”

 

“……”Rosalina didn’t respond.

 

“Rosalina… are you okay?” Paola worried.

 

Paola found that Rosalina’s rist was aqua blue and she knew that it wasn’t like that last night because she snuck in. “I should call Jasmine see what she can do, since her mom is a doctor.” Paola started to call Jasmine and she told her about the aqua blue rist.

“I will be in a sec!”

 

Jasmine got to the house. Paola opened the door. Jasmine came in and both girls went to Rosalina´s room. Jasmine checked Rosalina´s blue rist. ¨I´ve never seen this before Paola.¨ worried Jasmine.

 

“Mr. Lineden. He warned her about the book. Now it was too late. The book must have done it!” Paola whispered.

 

“Hey! What’s this” has Jasmine pointed at me.

 

Paola picked me up and they read me. The same thing happened to Paola and Jasmine. They saw the secrets inside of me. I was full of stories of the places I ruled. Paola and Jasmine saw spells and other mishtuvis things inside of me too! The girls tried to find something to give back life to Rosalina, but they never found anything. They stopped reading me to have lunch. When they got back I did a different spell this one was 2 Anacondas. Paola and Jasmine were devoured by the Anacondas.

 

Darwin and Luigi were curious about the girls, so they called Paola and Rosalina’s mom to see if they could come over. She said yes. The next day the boy’s went over to Rosalina and Paola’s house. Darwin and Luigi went up to their room and saw that the 3 had died. “What happened here?” Luigi asked.

 

“The book. Dad said NOT to touch that book!” Darwin was furious at the girls for getting me.

 

Settle down Darwin! It must over gotten here on its own.” Luigi comely said to Darwin.

 

“When fish fly” murmured Darwin.

 

Darwin and Luigi did the samething that Paola and Jasmine did look for a antidote inside of me. They saw the secrets inside of me. I was full of stories of the places I ruled. Luigi and Darwin saw spells and other mishtuvis things inside of me too!They didn’t find anything in me. They stopped for a drink, when they came back the door closed by itself and locked. “Hey Luigi… the room is filling up in water.”as Darwin and Luigi gasped for their last breath. Out of nowhere a great white killed both boys.

 

Nyima and Darwin’s father was wondering where his kids were, so he called Rosalina and Paola´s mom. Mr. Linden asked ¨Do you know where Darwin or Nyima are?¨

 

¨Yes, I do know where both of them are. Therein Rosalina and Paola´s room.¨Mrs. Luma answered.

 

¨I will be their in an hour to pick them up¨

 

¨Alright I´ll be here¨

 

An hour in a half later mr. Linden went to pick up Darwin and Nyima. He  went to Rosalina´s room and found me.¨The… the Book of Horrors! How did it get here? Darwin… Nyima what?¨ Mr. Linden wondered.

 

He took me and looked the door behind him.

 

He brought me to the library and did the samething that the other four did. They saw the secrets inside of me. I was full of stories of the places I ruled. mr. Linden saw spells and other mishtuvis things inside of me too! At the end he never found anything. “What can I do to save my kids!” Mr. Linden thought.

 

“Well maybe I can look again.”

 

I had another trick up my sleeve… if you know what I mean. This time I put 2 Atlantic Wolffish in the office. The room slowly filled with water. Mr. Linden accidentally looked in one of the pair of eyes and froze to sudden death. NOW THAT I HAVE DESTROYED LIONEL LINDEN I CAN TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
The final thing that was in my way is gone. I will make the ultimate spell ,so that I can take over London, England! After 2 hours of potion making I have made something to make me ruler. I dragged a meteor and wrecked the whole world! That’s the end of the world!

One hot day in New York City after Lina was done working she was walking home.  The wind was blowing really hard on Lina’s hair and the grass was as green as her eyes.  It was so sunny outside, but luckily The Empire State Building was blocking the sunlight.  Lina still couldn’t believe that the skyscraper was 1,250 ft. or 381 meters.  (she was good at math).

It was Friday, she just wanted to relax and read. When she passed Mr. Linden’s Library she was so sad that she couldn’t buy a book then she remembered she had some extra money because she had received a raise. As soon as she remembered that she ran in the Library and was screaming, “Mr.Linden, Mr.Linden.”

He answered with a sigh, “Yes.”

“I got a raise so I can buy the book you have been holding for me.” Lina said

Mr.Linden was so happy she was finally going to get the book because he didn’t like her. She always lost her books and he always had to pay for the books because he was her guardian so he HAD to pay for the books. But soon when she got a job Mr.Linden started toharris book plant say “Lina you have to start paying for your own things.”

She was never happy about that but she got used to it. After Lina told Mr.Linden that she was going to buy the book they got the book.

“Go upstairs and rest.” Mr.Linden said For some reason he wanted to be nice to her like he used to. But then he remembered that he HAD to warn her about the book. So he ran upstairs and said “I have to warn you about the book it’s very,very dangerous.”

Even though he warned her she kept reading the book. He warned he but everyday she got more and more attached to the book. He had warned her about the book but now it was too late. She was lying there on her bed looking like she was dead.

But actually she went to another world but since she had magic the people who were stuck there wanted a way out because everyone who read the book went there and it was Mr.Linden and his family’s job to warn people about the book. The people who were stuck there wanted kill her to get her power (the way out.) Lina tried to kill everyone there but soon she saw a door there open so she ran to go through the door and she was free. She didn’t how that happened but she didn’t care all she wanted to do was go home and watch a movie with her best friends Mark and Luke.  She totally forgot that she wanted to spend some time with her sister.

Out of nowhere there were Mark and Luke then suddenly they turned into wolves. Lina was so scared that her magic just flashed and made them disappear. Lina was so devastated that she ran home while she was crying.

When she got home she told Mr.Linden all about what happened he just said “Why don’t we just watch a movie.” Then he called Carla (Lina’s sister) and then they watched a movie together as a family.

Mr. Linden Library By: Almami

One day at Porkbelly it was a strange Presidents Day. This scary library was opened, but there was no one there except this boy named Linden. He was an unfamiliar boy that was only 10 years old After he got a book he rode his bike to his neighborhood.Some harris book plantbullies came along and threw his books on the floor and

 

Linden said “I will cast my spell on you”

 

And the bullies were laughing at him and the

 

Bullies said “cast it on us and he tried to and it did not work”.       

 

20 years later those bullies had been bullying him half of his  life. They stopped bullying him when he was in college.

 

When he finished  college Mr Linden wanted revenge for everything that  happened in his life.          Like when he got bullied when he was a kid. Now he wants to destroy the world.

He cast a spell on all of the books. The werewolf book so the werewolf could sniff out the bullies,  the giant tarantula and the bad gnomes and the invisible kid and the snow monster become real.  Last but not least, Slappy to help him carry out his plan.                                                   

Everyone in his family was suffering because of the monsters.  He tried to stop the spell but the spell did not work.  Now Slappy is in control of the monsters. Linden tries to put Slappy and the other monsters back in their books so everything could go back to normal. But it was to hard to get them in their books.  

 

So since it was to hard to get them in their book,  Mr Linden writes another book, that all of the monsters go away. But the werewolf tracks them down.They trick them, they just put figures of themselves. So Mr Linden finishes his book and he opens it then he cast his spell on the monsters and this time he not only got half of the spell correct he got all of it correct.Then all of the Monsters went away, including Slappy.  But he forgets one of them and it was the invisible boy.Then the boy said you forgot me and mr linden ran away and walhe he was running he screamed out nooooooooooooo.

When she was checking it out Mr.Linden said “do you really want this book, it is really dangerous you should not take it”.

Linda said “yes I want it I don’t really care” so Mr.Linden gave her the book and then she took the book to her sister’s house. When Linda showed her the book.

Mr.Linden Library By:Daniella

Exactly 15 years ago, this day, a girl named Emily came into Mr. Linden’s  library.  She seemed nice,  with blond hair, blue eyes and freckles with  cheeks you just wanted to squeeze.  I warned her that some books were dangerous and some  were not, but she didn’t listen to me her attitude didn’t  match her face at all…

When I tried to tell her, she replied in such a rude manner.    

“I don’t have to listen to you old man! I know how to choose my own books”

“Ok….”  Mr.Linden said sternly”

“Don’t come to me when something goes wrong…” He said  while walking away.”

Emily was 12 years old, but she looked like she was 15. Back then, before it all happened, she used to be all joyous and cheerful. Then her mother died…. and it was just her and her father. Who rarely comes home anymore other than to sleep or take a shower. You could say not having any love in life can change you forever…. just a little more love can change you from being a horrible, rotten to a sweet and caring person. When Emily got her grades down her father didn’t care, he didn’t even remember her birthday it just was a normal day to her father. She felt Emily had no friends so she ate next to the the trash can when it was lunch time she never listened to the teacher.  Emily’s dad never came to talk to the teacher because well, he  didn’t care about Emily at all he never asked her how was her day or anything they didn’t even talk to each other. She felt so left out…

Emily looked through the back of the library to find a book that she thought would at least even look interesting.  She had read most of the books already and they just weren’t satisfying that hole in her heart, she just wanted to have someone to care about her, But she didn’t let anyone know that. She had a heart made of stone but deep down there was a piece of her heart that was still there, ready for someone to come and save it, waiting for someone to help her.  

She was roaming through the aisles waiting for that interesting book to magically come to her, just like she was waiting for her mom to magically come back to life…. She could only wish.  As she had walked down the same aisle over and over again for what it had seemed to be the 1,000th time, she saw a book that looked out of the ordinary. She was confused, she went down this aisle many times and looked at every single book but she hadn’t seen this one. She grabbed it and read the first page, it seemed to be a diary of a person named Thomas Finley. She searched up his name and nothing came up it was like he never existed.  Emily took the diary but when she checked it out Mr. Linden came out of nowhere and said

“I’m warning you Emily do not take the journal, it’s dangerous.”

Emily thought about it for a minute, then she countered what he said with

“A journal can’t be haunted you old man! Maybe you should stop reading too much scary stories before you go to sleep.” And with that she strutted off.

She took the journal home and started to read it when she noticed the weird things in the jou started to happen to her she read the journal  until she fell asleep  but right before she fell asleep she read this….

“It was the day before the last day of school. I tried to make the vines not really noticeable by wearing long sleeve shirts, it is very hot but I would rather deal with that than deal with people knowing about the vines that are growing on me. I don’t know what I do when I pass out but, i’m sure it’s not good. I’ve been waking up with scars and scratches on my body…. Someone help me please! What’s happening to me?! The vines are growing

It ended there, the next page had been ripped off and she couldn’t read the rest.

“This isn’t true,” She scoffed. “This is just some scary ghost story that’s made up.”

With that happening she decided to call it a night and go to sleep. She had enough of reading this story and she didn’t want to read it anymore. She left the journal beside her and went to sleep . After about 30 minutes the journal opened on a page with mysterious drawings on it, it glowed a dark purple and then it stopped. Then, a vine started growing from the bottom of her nice new pair of shoes to her perfect  blonde hair.

She woke up the next day with bits of vine poking out from underneath her skin when she saw it she screeched and went  straight to Mr.Linden’s library.

“ Help me and undo whatever you did to me now!” She yelled.

“No.” He said firmly.

“What?”

“I said no.”

“Mr.Linden I will not take no for an answer.”

“I told you, don’t come to me when something goes wrong.”

And with that he walked away.

Emily ran home and cried in bed, he knew that what was happening to her wasn’t normal. You aren’t supposed to grow vines in your skin. Eventually she cried herself to sleep, not knowing what was about to happen.

She slept for 3 hours and woke up after she felt a bit itchy. She went to the bathroom and try to see what was wrong and took a look in the mirror. She screamed in terror as all of her legs were covered in vines, and once again she ran to Mr. Linden’s library. People ran away when they saw her, babies cried, and dogs barked like crazy. She cried the whole entire time getting there. When she got to his library she begged him to hear her out.

“Please Mr.Linden, help me.” She cried. “I’ve learned my lesson so just please…. Help me.”

He looked at her with a firm face and replied:

“I’m sorry but no, I will not help you. You haven’t truly learned your lesson. Now please leave my library.”

“FINE!” She yelled. “I don’t need your help anyways!”

She turned around and stomped away. Mr.Linden turned around and thought to himself:

“ he had warned her about the book.  Now it was too late

And he walked away.

She ran home as fast as she could, she knew what she had to do. She set up a camera and went to sleep. She wanted see where the vines were coming from and how it happened.  She went to sleep for the day hoping she could figure out what’s happening tomorrow.

She woke up with her whole entire left arm covered in vines and her right arm halfway covered. She got out of bed and rushed to the camera, and stopped the recording. She played the tape over and watched what happened during the night. She saw that the vines were coming from the journal and the page that it turned to. She quickly grabbed the journal and flipped the pages until she found the page with the drawing on it. There was writing on it but she couldn’t tell what it meant, and she didn’t want to know.

She grabbed the journal and ran to Mr.Linden’s library for what she hoped to be the last time, bust through the door and confronted him.

“Why in the world would you have a book in your library that does this to people?!” She yelled. “This book actually hurts people! But you know what? I’m going to get rid of it, and you can thank me when i’m done.”

She ran, ran as fast as she could, She knew she didn’t have a lot of time left because the vines were already up to her neck, and she could feel the air getting thinner. She went to her house and rushed to the fireplace. Where she then threw this terrible book into. As the book burned she could feel the air getting thicker, and she felt proud. She faced what was happening to her instead of running away. She knew that these past few days were the most important days of her life.

The End

 

Mr. Linden’s Library

Back in 2014 there was a girl named Anna Grace was just a normal 15 year old in sunny Sacramento, California. She wasn’t social, so she spent her time at Mr. Linden’s Library and read books. Anna Grace had blonde hair, blue eyes, she was an only child.

Anna Grace didn’t like to be bothered. She always listened to her parents but only sometimes, a lot of times she didn’t listen to other people’s reminders. She always felt rebellious when it came to people telling what to do when they weren’t her parents. Anna Grace came home from school at 4:15 pm. She needed a book, that she had to get at the library.

She ran upstairs grabbed her jacket. She’s ready to go. She hollered to her mom that was heading out. She didn’t want her mom to go psycho about where she is. She was halfway down the block. She saw this shadow figure but she didn’t want to investigate. Anna Grace ignored the mysterious figure.

Anna Grace was at the library finally. said to Mr. Linden. “Hey!! Mr Linden!! So may you help me? I’m trying to find this special book that I need for school. Can you help me?”

“Sure thing kiddo. Want a lollipop?” replied Mr. Linden.

Anna Grace nodded.

Mr. Linden was insanely sweet , always giving out candy to his favorite people.

“Is this the book you need??” Mr. Linden said pulling out the book.

“Yes!! It’s perfect!! It’s exactly what I need. Thanks Mr. Linden!”

“No problem kiddo!! If you want you can stay after, read your book if you would like. You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

“I rather get home. I can stay after tomorrow! If that helps!”

“Okay!! I’m not offended. Also be awa- never mind. I warned he
r..”

She was out the door before Mr. Linden finished what he was saying. Anna Grace was halfway home when she saw another two mysterious figures but ignored it again. She hopped onto her bed. Then started to read the book.

About an hour into the book She flipped the next page, she saw 13 strange looking witches but she quickly shut the book. He had warned her about the book. Now it was too late. Two witches came out. The two witches were out of the book. They started to lock the door with their powers. The good witch, Stella was trying to tell Beatrice, to stop locking Anna Grace in. She just sat there in shock. Beatrice was the evil witch, she wanted to take over the whole world. Where Stella was just trying to have someone to be friends with.

“C-an I- hel-p yo-u?” She said shaking terrified.

“Yes. We need you to take us outside right Now.” replied Beatrice.

Stella nudged Beatrice with her elbow.

 

“Be nice Beatrice.”

 

Beatrice groaned, she was an evil witch. Beatrice wanted to do everything her way, she was furious. But she knew that the mission had to be done. Beatrice just went on with her mission.

 

Stella wasn’t mean to anyone, she just wanted to help make the world a better place. She wasn’t so sure about bringing Beatrice on the mission with her but she did anyway because Beatrice was her best friend and didn’t want to leave her alone.

Anna Grace grabbed a bag, she then put the witches inside the bag. Then walked outside then she set them down. let them fly but then Anna Grace knew she had made a huge mistake. Anna Grace was doomed. The whole world was doomed.

“WE DID IT!! WE ARE FREE AND WE WILL-” hollered Beatrice in excitement.

“BEATRICE!!!! Stop right this moment. We are not doing ANYTHING to harm California!!!” Stella screamed mad at Beatrice.

Beatrice ignored her and just flew away. Anna Grace ran after them but it was too late, they were gone into the California sky. Anna Grace was mad that she had let them fool her. She groaned.

Beatrice flew over the city and wondered. “What should I do now!!!!” Beatrice knew exactly what to do now. Beatrice dropped a bomb down into the middle of the city. Stella finally caught up to Beatrice. She was furious.
“THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Screeched Stella.

“OH A master Doesn’t HAVE plans.”

“YOU’RE NOT A MASTER GET OVER IT!!! UGH WHY DID YOU DO THAT!!!!”

Beatrice wasn’t listening. So, Stella swooped down and put water everywhere and put the fire out. Beatrice was sitting in the air in disgust, she wasn’t happy that Stella ruined her plan to take over the world. Stella flew back to Anna Grace and sobbed.
“I’M so sorry!!!! Beatrice didn’t mean to do that.. She just wants to own the world and it be all hers!! Forgive us!!!!”

Anna Grace nodded and gave Stella a huge hug. Anna Grace was a forgiving person but she knew that they had done something that she couldn’t forgive them about. She didn’t know how to feel. The city she loved was destroyed, torn apart. She couldn’t regroup herself so she sat down, then started crying her eyes out.

“Wh-Why!! Did you have to do this!! You could’ve been a good witch Beatrice. You could have. But you didn’t that’s why witches like you shouldn’t live.” Horrifiedly Anna Grace said.

“You can’t mean that’s true!???” Screamed Stella.

Beatrice flew off mad that Anna Grace said that. No one heard from these witches in years. What happened to them you may ask?? That revolves with a mystery.

Mr. Linden’s Library by Gracie

My name is Marci Withers. I am 12 years old and I live on Glassview Street, Oregon. I have tan skin, hair that reaches to my shoulders, I wear glasses and have a lonely life I want to change.

I don’t have any friends. Mostly because i’m not very social. I always spend my time reading at least six books a day at my favorite place called “Vanyra’s Cafe”. But then it closed down when the health inspector found an entire rat colony living in the walls. Extremely gross.

I read outside by the pond now. I’m still pretty sad that my favorite reading place is gone. Where will I find a new one? “Come on down to Mr.Linden’s Library. We have books of all genre. Action, Mystery, and Horror! You name it and we have it” a man called from afar.

“Maybe I should check that place out. I do like books.” she said. The walk was not far. It was only a few miles walk. By the time she got inside, she was in heaven for nerds. All the books of history in one place.

“Hello, my good child. Welcome to Mr. Linden’s Library. I, as you know am Mr. Linden. Choose from many wondrous books and take as many as you please.” he said to her. All the books she saw were amazing. But not as amazing as the one she saw on the pillar while she was reaching for The History of Rocks.

“Eculus Morzon Quinton?” she read. The book had a picture of rose. Half of it was white and the other was black. She turned it over it saw a sentence that said ”The key to unlocking a true form is the soul within.” She showed it to Mr. Linden’s son also known as the cashier.

“Please be careful with that book little lady. This is the fifth time it’s been returned and it has a warning note inside. But the book has a lock. If you really want me to check it out for you at least take the key to open it.”he explained.He checked it out for her and she went home.

She was curious to find out what the book was about. ”There you are Marci. It’s almost dinner time, so go wash up and change into your nightgown and come down stairs.” her mom said.

After dinner, Marci went to her room to read the mysterious book. She avoided the warning note and began to read.” Let’s start. Univira Alamus Creeundun. Murders Qutanus Dreemur. Tranagus Fire, Tranagus Fire, Tranagus Fire Zurunjall!” she called.

Suddenly the rose from book began to move up to her palm! The book turned to the middle page and roots began to sprout from the center. The rose turned pink and she passed out. The roots blasted a seed inside her chest and attached to her soul.

He had warned her about the book. Now it was too late. At the crack of dawn, Marci was completely changed by the book. She had light red poofy hair that reached to her feet. Her skin was a cream color. And she could see without her glasses.

She looked outside the window. But the world was completely different than the one she was in before. The sky was a very light red, almost pink. The grass was green and the pond was full of swans instead of grabby ducks. It was beautiful.

“What happened to me? Am I a monster? However I do look good.” She said as she admired herself through the mirror. She exited the room and headed downstairs to the kitchen. Her mother was there but she was also different too. And so was her father.

“Good morning dear. I see you’ve slept well. And I know what you’re about to ask about this place. Welcome to the Rose Temple Garden. Since you read the book, your body has been teleported and transformed and you were sent to here. And when you’re here, we’re here to. But in real life you are actually dead.” Her mom explained.

Marci wasn’t very upset. The real was already terrible enough as it is. She ate her breakfast which was amazing. Perfect pancakes and eggs with toast. The breakfast her real mom cooked was always either burnt, under cooked, overcooked, over spiced, and bland.

After her breakfast, she went outside. The smelled of flowers and dew filled the air with honey aroma.”This is my new home. I never want to go back home. This was the life she had wanted ever since childhood.

Change is always good if you can make it through it. Marci’s change was because she believed. Like the Beauty and the Beast, he was once some horrible but was was changed because of hope. Everyone should have hope.
