In the Spring when Brodie was still in grade 3, he was to write a mystery story. So he did, and entitled it The Shiny Car Mystery. Then his teacher Mrs O, (in picture with Brodie) along with the rest of the classes stories sent them all away to a publishing company in B.C.. In June we received a letter informing us that Brodie's story was chosen to be published in a book. Wow what an honor! THEN in September this same publishing company phoned us to tell us that Brodie's story had won second place in a story competition. They divided Canada up into three categories according to population... so Ontario is one Alberta and B.C. is another then the rest of Canada is the third .... So Brodie;s story was in the third group, obviously, and his story finished second! WOW!! First place was given to a girl in Newfoundland. So he received certificates, a free book with his story in it $25 for his school, and $50 for himself. So we are all very proud of his achievement! Here he is at the newspaper office with his teacher getting their picture. Way to go Brodie!!
