Power Star by Andrew Gunderson (read aloud books TXT) 📕

James, a 16 year old boy, comes home one afternoon to his house and finds his mom and dad waiting for him. "James, we need to talk to u about school and sports” says mom. “It can wait till I am done with my stuff” James said. “James, get down here and talk to us now.” He comes back to the kitchen and sees his report card lying on the table. “I thought you said you had this under control. Now that you failed every class you are quitting all sports and departing to summer school.” “No I am not quitting every sport and I am not going to summer school.” James said as he walked out the front door.


As James walked out the door another problem came into play. He started running away and then he went to the forest preserve. As he was running he saw black smoke coming from the forest. So he went in there to explore. But it wasn’t in the forest, it was at his house. Someone in a black van came to the house and robbed the place he also spread gasoline around the inside of the house. The man was about to get in his van and then he saw James running from the house. James looked back and saw a black van following him and started to run faster.


Then they ran into a dead end. The man got out of the van and walked over to James and punched him in his stomach. Then he kicked him in his face. James was bleeding on the ground and then unbelievable happened. He looked up and saw the man had a gun pointed at him. The man fired and the bullet stopped in midair. The man turned and ran away but didn’t get far because the bullet came after him at hit him in his shoulder. James said to himself, “this is a new beginning for me.”
