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?

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.
Webkinz Costume: Witch
               What you need: Black felt, pointy paper cup, black construction paper, brown paper bag, black paint,  black button, black thread, needle, scissors, black ribbon  What you do:  1.      Paint the paper bag black. This is going to be your witch’s dress. 2.      When the bag is dry, cut a hole for your pet’s head out of the bottom of the bag. Cut two arm holes on the sides. Glue the black buttons in a line down the front of the bag. 3.      Put the bag onto your pet and cinch the waist with the black ribbon. 4.      Paint the pointy paper cup black. This is your witch’s hat. Cut a circle from the black construction paper and use it as the rim of the hat. 5.      Cut your black felt piece in half. Glue a piece of ribbon to the top of it. When the glue is dry, tie it around your pet’s neck (this is your witch’s cape). 6.      Your pet is ready for a spook-tacular Halloween!
A Fabulous Town Square!
  Elwin here with another gorgeous fall makeover! This time, we redesigned the town square. Hailey and I decided to really make everything look festive. We added food stalls, fun things to do, and some fantastic fall decorations. Everyone in Kinzville thought it looked absolutely perfect, and I have to agree! What do you think, friends?

Roberta’s Halloween Conundrum
 Roberta here with a tough decision on my mind: what should Reid be for Halloween? There are so many options – and I’d like to make him the costume. I was thinking of maybe making him into a little wizard, but that’s not cute enough. Then I thought of maybe making him into a superhero, but it seems a bit old for him right now. Now I’m thinking that perhaps the cutest, sweetest costume would be a pumpkin! What do you think? How adorable would Reid be, dressed as a little pumpkin? I think that might just be the best idea ever! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
What Are Those Puffs of Smoke?: An Interview with Nuts & Bolts
Hi, Ella McWoof here with a follow-up on those rumors buzzing around Kinzville about an enchanting new arrival of something big to the W Shop. I wanted to get to the bottom of this so I went to a well-known news source: the construction beavers, Nuts and Bolts. Fellas, what do you say about the rumor? Bolts: Sorry, Ella, we’ve been sworn to secrecy! Ella: So there IS something big happening! Can you tell us about those puffs of smoke that have been spotted near the W Shop? Nuts: No! Yes! No! I mean…well, we’re not the greatest at keeping secrets (just look at us spilling the beans about Building Kinzville a few weeks ago!) so we’re going to keep quiet about this! Ella: Nuts, on a scale of 1-10, how excited are you about this upcoming reveal? Nuts: An eleven! Bolts: Shh, Nuts! Ella, you’re going to have to wait for a few weeks to find out what all the fuss is about, but trust us, it’s a really exciting new addition to the shop for Deluxe Members! Nuts: Tell your readers to start dreaming of a magical space they can make their own… Bolts: … Read more

Alex’s Scientific Journal: The Shipwreck is NOT Haunted!
Alex Tiger here with a page out of my scientific journal! My friends totally believe that that shipwreck is haunted, which just can’t be true. I know it’s spooky to think that there are actually ghosts aboard, but that’s nothing a bit of evidence can’t solve. Here are my scientific reasons why the ship may seem haunted but actually ISN’T: Strong winds shaking the ship. That shuddering noise we all heard? Gusts of wind! Plus when it whistles through the boards it sounds like moaning. Cool breezes off the water. Some people say that when you feel a chill, that means you walked through a ghost, but I don’t think so. The ship is on a beach, and that means cool breezes make it to shore—even through a boat’s cabin door! We felt a sea breeze, NOT a ghost. See? There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m going to present my findings to my friends (especially Sparky, he was so scared!) and then they’ll see there’s no way there’s such a thing as a ghost!
