A crow appears. An omen?

The authors prepare by sipping the tea of desolation.

The children show no fear.

Sure enough, the authors make a mess.

WHERE ARE MY GAUNTLETS OF INELUCTABLE DESTRUCTION

WHEN I NEED THEM?

It is no use. The Portsmouth children are unstoppable.

Unbeatable. Unquenchable. Undeniable.

Drat! Foiled again!

They must get their powers of domination and destruction from their strange, furry companions.

The victors rise to take the spoils of war.

Next time, we will fortify our numbers with a horde of orcs.

The signing begins.

Thank you to the readers, teachers and librarians of Portsmouth. It was fun even though the authors weren’t allowed to win. Till next year? Photographs & Text by Candy Gourlay www.candygourlay.com
