Chapter one
My name is Andromeda. I have a dog and a goldfish. My dog is called Ruby and my goldfish is called Goldy. I have blonde hair, blue eyes and I live in Daylesford. Daylesford is pretty much bush, but there are roads, houses, shops and schools. There are so many trees I am surprised that there are not many at my house.
I like fluffy bunnies. I also like sushi, climbing trees, going on holidays, going out for dinner, visiting my grandparents, going to Sydney and eating cakes.
I live with my two brothers Callan and Llywelen, Ruby my dog, two goldfish and both of my parents. My great grandmother has just died recently. If you were wondering when and how, in April we think she died because the night before she died she had bumped her head.
My best friends are Isobel, Yemaya, Ozzy and Lizzie. Yemaya and I have had ten sleep overs!
Chapter two
A bomb exploded in our town. No one was allowed outside of their house. My mum and dad were too worried to let us out of the house, so we couldn’t play with our friends.
Everyone was scared sick. Mum and Dad kept vomiting. I was too worried to be silly. We could not go to school which I really wanted to go to. I really missed learning.
People with guns came. One person with a gun came and knocked on our door. Mum answered the door. We all got taken out of the house, even the animals. Ruby got excited and jumped on the soldier. He smacked her really hard. Dad yelled at him.
We went to the boss’ office. Dad got yelled at. The boss went mad at Dad. They had a punch up. Some soldiers tried to stop them, but they couldn’t. We got put in a bus and left Daylesford. Dad got left behind. Everyone was really sad, Dad was too. The bus was taking us to the airport. Soon after Dad arrived everyone was so happy to see him. Everyone was worried about how we would pay for the bus and aeroplane.
Chapter 3
We got on the aeroplane and left. I was really scared. I had never been on an aeroplane before. I almost vomited from looking out the window. I wish people hadn’t started fighting, because I miss my friends and family.
The aeroplane was really crowded. We only got three pieces of food a day. An apple for breakfast, a piece of bread for lunch and sometimes if we were lucky at dinner we would also get a piece of bread. Sometimes, the bread was mouldy. I couldn’t wait to get there because the aeroplane was so awful. My stomach hurt so much from being hungry and thirsty all the time. At night when I tried to sleep I woke up with pains.
It was really smelly on the plane from everyone being unable to shower. We couldn’t even go to the toilet properly. The stench was so strong that my mum fainted. I tried to hold my nose for ages until I fell asleep.
Chapter 4
We landed 9 hours after we got on the plane. I was so relieved and excited to get off and walk around. I jumped out and got my bag. Straight away we walked together and were put on a bus and taken to a place I had no idea where it was.
When I got outside, I froze. It was so different. It was dusty. People were wearing these funny hats. There was food called dumplings. There were vegetable dumplings, meat dumplings. They were really yummy. The family loved them too. Here is a picture of me eating dumplings.
2 years later
My mum is now a really good Chinese cook. I am now used to the new food. I really like the differences. I go back to Australia about once a year.
