Hello!
My mom got me a Cricket subscription for
my birthday, and I’m really liking it! I have eight
brothers and two sisters. I really love reading and
swimming and baking. Some of the books I enjoy
are The Gates of Heaven series by C. S. Lakin, the
Redwall books by Brian Jacques, On the Edge of the
Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson, and the
Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling. By the way,
I’m in Ravenclaw, and my Patronus is a hare. What
books do all you bugs like?

Oh, we like so many books! We could f ill over
two pages with the list, but then we wouldn’t have
room for readers’ letters. So, I’ll just name a few
here: The Cricket in Times Square, Treasure Island,
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, and Flicka, Ricka, Dicka, and the
New Dotted Dresses. (Guess who likes that one!)
Happy reading!

Dear Cricket,
My grandma was the one to get me my f irst
Cricket. Now my dad, my sister, and I read Cricket
every single day before bed! All the stories are very
interesting and leave me thinking of them until I
fall asleep. Keep reading, everybuggy!

I have a funny story about my pet (though you
kind of had to be there for it)! My pit bull mix Casey
is terrif ied of f ireworks. (She’s terrif ied of pretty
much everything.) She also loves to eat the dry grass
clippings that show up right after the lawn’s been
mowed. I was taking her for a walk ontheFourthof
July, and she was eating grass. She wasin
the middle of chewing a mouthful when
these f ireworks went off. So, she
perked her ears up, and somehow all
the grass fell out of her mouth. It’s
kind of hard to describe the funni-
ness of it, but it really was hilarious.

Hi!
I haveneverbrokena bone,
thoughI ama magnetforsmall
injuries. When we went to a camp,

we were hiking, and I saw a deer and
a blue jay! I was not looking where
I wasgoing and tripped over a big
stone. I hit the deck and ended up
scraping my knees, my palms, and
theright side of my face.

Hi,Everybuggy!
Wegota third cat in 2018.He
startedoutas a scared f luffy
ball,butnowhe is roaming the
wholehouseas I type! He is
a longhairedwhite cat with
darkspotsand a dark tail.
Ourothercats are orange
tabbyandtuxedo. All are
boys,aroundeight years old.
Theirnamesare Timber, Kilian,
andThomas,in the order thatI
describedthem. There are somany
catsthatliveoutside! They aren’t strays
orferalcats,they are just pets that are allowed
toroamoutside.
Oneofmy main goals in life at the moment is
tospreadthepopularity of cats. Some people like
dogs,butthat’s f ine, so long as they also like cats.
LacieD.(January 2019), I will still be subscrib-
ingwhenI’man adult, too!
