George Fayne is Nancy’s friend and is the one who knows Evelyn the most.
Evelyn Caldwell is the person who owns the “Red Barn Theater”, and a famed Broadway star.
Marla Kramer is Evelyn’s friend and helps her with the play ,and she to is a famed Broadway star with a surprising secret.
Conflict
Nancy Drew was asked to go to the Red Barn Theater to see why they were getting threatening letters saying that when the curtain goes up the theater goes down in flames.
The first couple of days were fine but when the lead star gets hurt and it starts to get suspicious.
On opening night the curtain went up but the theater didn’t go down thanks to Nancy because she was walking around the theater when she smelled smoke coming out of the bathroom , but it turns out that someone accidentally throw a cigarette in the trash can.
Conflict (Part Two)
The second night was good they all had a party after the play but while the party was going on Nancy saw that someone was missing and it was Marla Nancy asked every one have they seen her but they haven’t seen her. So Nancy went looking for her Nancy went to the theater and the door was un locked so she went to the stage and there was Marla and she was putting gasoline on the clothes that the characters wore in the play. So Nancy crept up quietly and jumped on her but she was to late Marla had already lit a match and the clothes were on fire. So Nancy stepped on them and the clothes were no longer on fire but that was the wrong move.
Because Marla was on top of Nancy , but Nancy got up and so did Marla but Nancy got on the other side of the stage so nothing else would happen. And had a little talk with Marla . But Marla was not so happy and she started talking madly and sprinkling the gasoline every where while talking. And when she got done talking Marla had a suspicious smile on her face , and got out a match. When Nancy saw what she had in her hand Nancy ran and tackled Marla down and went a fighting. And then they heard a screech from the back of the stage it was Ned and George ,and they came just in time because they had already called the police and so they got Marla off of Nancy and the play was safed.
Solution
Nancy Drew solved the problem by using the clues and snooping around and she mixed it all together and she had her answer.
My favorite part!
My favorite part is when Nancy is snooping around Marla’s room and finds a surprising clue about Marla.

Chester- Cat, Loves to read
Bunnicula- Bunny, Mysterious
It is more of a Man versus Man (Chester and Harold versus Bunnicula), but Harold right before the BIG climax of the story, may have switched sides….
Quote
This quote expresses the new arrival of the bunny, that something is wrong, something isn’t right….not anymore at least, “That Bunny” he whispered to me across our food bowls, “got out of his cage last night.”(page.28) Very interesting? I think so, I mean it expresses how Chester is thinking and what he is seeing!

Eventually the Monroe’s take them all to the vet, because Chester held Bunnicula from eating and Toby noticed he looked sick.

In the end, they figure out Bunnicula isn’t what they thought! It all turns our that Bunnicula is just a regular bunny just sick because Chester kept him from getting food. So Bunnicula and Harold are now friends and Chester is taking “cat therapy”.

By Jessica L.
Lyddie
Jessica P.
Author: Katherine Paterson
Setting
Vermont
Lowell, Massachusetts
1843
A depressing mood throughout the story
Characters
Lyddie Worthen; an independent, thirteen year old girl
Diana Ross; a friend that Lyddie meets in Lowell
Charles Worthen; Lyddie’s best friend/ ten year old brother
Triphena; the cook at Lyddie’s first job as a house maid in Vermont
Luke Stevens; Lyddie’s neighbor who asked her to marry him in a letter while still a factory girl in Lowell
Plot
Lyddie is a girl who’s father left to go out west for gold and never came back. Now she has to take care of her loopy mother who thinks the world is about to end, and her little sisters Rachael and Agnes, which she soon dies in the story. Her mother sends her to be a house maid for food to take care of herself, but Lyddie has other plans.
She rides to Lowell to become a factory girl and make more money. While she’s there she meets Diana. Lyddie is in Lowell to pay off her family’s cabin’s debt and as I said for money to soon join Charlie again , because she loves them very much. Until later in the story when her world comes crashing down as her mom dies and her uncle is selling the cabin. Then she takes a visit to her old home in Virginia, and then off she goes to her new life in Ohio.
Quote
One very important part of the story which explains a lot is when Lyddie says, ‘I ain’t a slave!’ While in Lowell a lot of the girls are signing the petition to which could blacklist them and Lyddie does not want to sign it. They are tempting her by saying that they are speeding up the machines to make them work harder and lowering their salary so all the boss people make more money. It explains that she is confident and independent.
Favorite Part
My favorite part would have to be all the experiences she had in Lowell. They were sometimes either sad or funny, but I always enjoyed them. If you like books that take place in the 18 th century that have a lot of sad, complex, and deep thinking parts I would suggest this book.
Theme
So really the main theme is ambition, being independent, and having confidence.
