Reuniting Lost Loves
It’s me Salley again. Alex went back to the library to do some research on the Ghost Pirate and his Princess and apparently there have been some sightings of the Ghost Pirate Princess in a cave in Adventure Park. Alex thinks that to release the Ghost Pirate we had to travel into Adventure Park and lead her to the shipwreck. When she and the Ghost Pirate are reunited, he will be able to leave the shipwreck with her and return with her to Adventure Park. So we all steeled ourselves for a scary morning and headed over to Adventure Park and into the caves. When we entered the caves it was pitch dark and we could hear an eerie wailing sound. Stoogles got ready to turn around and run but Alex grabbed him and dragged him deeper into the cave. Finally, we came to a larger cavern with an underground lake, where a beautiful ghostly lady sat crying on a rock in the middle of the water. Alex asked her what was wrong and she said that there was a storm at sea and she was separated from her love and now he was lost forever. Alex told her that … Read more
Ms. Stripes’ Halloween Party
Sparky (or should I say Spooky?) here. So today was our class Halloween party and guess what? It wasn’t even lame! In fact, not only was it not lame – it was actually pretty awesome! Now, don’t get me wrong – it did start out pretty badly. I mean, who has a Halloween party with no candy, no costumes and no scary decorations? And it was obvious to everybody pretty early on that the party was basically no fun at all. I think even Ms. Stripes knew it wasn’t going well because when Roberta suggested that maybe things would pick up a bit if we put up some of those decorations we had made, Ms. Stripes said that was a great idea. Once we put up the decorations everyone seemed to get into the spirit a bit more. When things started to liven up, Ms. Stripes said maybe she had been a bit too hasty when she said we couldn’t wear costumes. Nibbles pointed out that a lot of us had our costumes in our backpacks because we were all going over to Roberta’s that night to go trick-or-treating and Ms. Stripes told us we could go to the locker … Read more

Faraway Whistles and Flashing Lights, Oh My!
Hello, Fluffington St. Bernard here. Something wonderfully strange is afoot in Webkinz World as its citizens try to figure out the magical new Deluxe-Only addition to the W Shop! With just a few days to go until its reveal, a few daring Kinzville photographers told me they managed to snap a few blurry pictures. This is some fine detective work, but I’m in on the big secret so I can tell you that there’s much more to this grand reveal than what they captured! Now excuse me, I’m off to finish this book I just can’t put down, it’s to do with a certain boy wizard. Have you heard of it? Riveting stuff, I tell you!

Where, Oh, Where Can She Be?
Salley Cat here. So far this has been the freakiest Halloween ever and we haven’t got to the 31st yet! Alex finally believed us that the ghost on the shipwreck is real, but then he wanted to go back again and help the Ghost Pirate! We all said that he was crazy, but he said that if the story was true then we could help reunite him with his lost love and he wouldn’t haunt the shipwreck any more. Alex, Sparky, Stoogles and I went back to the shipwreck yesterday. It was so creepy. As soon as we got close to it we could hear the sobs of the Ghost Pirate. Alex climbed right up onto the deck and the whole ship started to shake and shudder. Alex called out that he was here to help. After another loud sob, the Ghost Pirate cried out, “I cannot be helped! I am trapped on this ship for eternity!” Alex said that surely something would be able to free the Pirate. He responded that the only thing that could help him is love, but that his love is lost forever. Then Alex asked him how he lost his love and the Ghost … Read more

Alex’s Trick
Okay, this was supposed to be a really funny day but it didn’t exactly turn out the way I had planned. Because I knew that ghosts are not real and there was no way that old shipwreck by the shore could possibly be haunted. So I decided to set up this fake ghost to scare my friends. I told them that I had an idea to draw out the ghost and that they should meet me at the ship. I hid on the ship’s deck under a sheet with a couple of eyes cut out. When I heard my friends getting closer, I stood up with the sheet over me and in a low voice I called out “Spaaarkyyyy!” At first they all screamed then I think they immediately realized it was just a trick and they started to laugh. But then, all of a sudden they stopped laughing and just stood, speechless, staring at me. Everyone’s mouth was hanging open and from behind me I heard a very deep voice rasp out “My love, is that you?” just as I saw two white, wispy arms encircle me from behind. As the arms closed in on me I felt a … Read more
Webkinz Costume: Superhero
What you need: felt, puffy paint, scissors, yarn, darning needle, ribbon, needle and thread What you do: 1. Cut your felt in half. Cut out an isosceles triangle from one half, and then chop off the top point of the triangle. This is the cape. 2. Sew a piece of ribbon along the top of the cape. This will attach the cape to your pet’s neck. 3. Fold a smaller piece of felt in half and cut out a leaf shape. Cut out a smaller leaf shape in the middle. Open it up and this is your face mask! 4. Using the yarn and darning needle, add a piece of yarn to either side of the mask. 5. Tie the mask across your pet’s eyes. 6. If you like, take the cape and mask off and decorate them with puffy paint. When the paint is dry, get your caped crusader ready for a day of fun!
An Enchanting New Clue
Hi, Sparky here with an interesting thing that happened to Alex and I. We were outside playing wizards (because we both love books and movies about magic, potions, wizards and spells!) near the W Shop and saw something on the ground that looked like train tracks! We were confused because there’s no railway in this part of town so we went to look closer. And guess what we saw? A really cool-looking old clock! But JUST when we were almost close enough to touch them, the clock and the tracks DISAPPEARED! How weird is that? For a second I thought that we actually had magic powers but Alex just wouldn’t believe that. Anyway, we swear we saw them and then they were just GONE. What’s going on in Kinzville right now?
Salley’s Pieced-Together Costume
Hi all, it’s Salley here! Even though lots of ‘Kinz buy their costumes and look totally awesome, I like letting my imagination fly and finding pieces around the house to make my own great outfits! This year I have two options, and I’m not sure which one I want to try yet! Turns out my mom has a cool cowboy shirt (it’s a little big but still works) and a cowboy hat PLUS cowboy boots that are nearly my size! Turns out she was once into line dancing! Who knew? Anyway, combine it with my own jeans and an old toy sheriff’s belt, and you’ve got a pretty perfect cowgirl outfit! But then I was thinking, I have a tuxedo from a play I once did, so why not wear that and be a mysterious magician? I’ve always loved magic! (Even if the sleeves are a little tight!) But now I don’t know which one to choose! I guess I’ll have to decide on Halloween morning…what do you think I should be this year?
Webkinz Costume: Flower
What you need: Cardstock, craft glue, scissors, markers, jewels What you do: 1. Cut out a flower-shape from the cardstock. The flower should be fairly large – it has to fit around your pet’s face. 2. Cut out a circle in the center of the flower. The circle should be just a little bigger than your pet’s face. 3. Decorate the flower with all sorts of pretty colors and jewels. 4. When the glue is dry, put your flower on your pet and watch them blossom!
Ms. Stripes Class Party: Not So Fun
Wow! I just cannot believe how little Halloween spirit Ms. Stripes has! Today Alex and I made these really cool ghost decorations to hang up in the classroom and when Ms. Stripes saw them she said no way. What??? How can you have a Halloween party without scary decorations? What is her problem? She said that there are younger kids in the other classes who might be scared if they are passing our classroom and see these creepy ghosts hanging up. First of all, Halloween is all about being scared, and second, even little kids know it’s just pretend! Have you seen some of the spooky looking decorations around town? Every kid who walks to school through Kinzville must come across gravestones and ghosts hanging around people’s yards. They know it’s all in fun! Ms. Stripes is just determined that this party is going to be a big yawn. Even though she’s been pretty nice lately, I think that deep down she still thinks school should be no fun at all.
