The Ghost,The White House , and Me

Author's note: I wrote this piece to demonstrate my understanding of sentence fluency



What would it be like to live in the White House? In the book The Ghost,The White House.   When their mom was elected president, Kaykay and Annie moved into the White House.  They heard that Lincoln's ghost still haunts the White House, so the girls decided to prank their uncle.  Their uncle was staying over for a night in Lincoln’s old bedroom. The girls did a lot of planning, so I predict that the prank will work for them.

The first part of the plan was to use an ipod dock  to broadcast the Gettysburg Address into Lincoln’s bedroom. By making the speech loud enough, they made sure it would would wake up their uncle and scare him.

Kaykay and Annie's friend, Borden, tells the girls that Lincoln’s ghost always knocks. So at 3:00 am, they knocked at the door of Lincoln’s bedroom to scare their uncle.

This book is similar to “Hamburger Halpin”  because “Hamburger Halpin” also featured a ghost even though the ghost is not the culprit. Another similarity is that both main characters of “Hamburger Halpin” and  The Ghost,The White House, and Me have delicious food to eat.

I predict that the prank will work because of the effort of the two girls.   Kaykay and Annie had many parts of a plan to scare their uncle.  Since I liked reading about pranks in the White House, I hope that the author of The Ghost,The White House, and Me will continue to write more books like this.
