Dear Cricket,
Hi! I’ve been reading Cricket for about a year and a half now. I love it! My favorite stories are the Halloween and sports ones. I like nature, chocolate, and randomly walking around in circles! I dislike lukewarm bathwater, Mondays, and racism and sexism. I think all people should be treated equally.

I want to be a writer when I grow up. I like the book Harriet the Spy because it is exciting, interesting, and inspiring. I also like the Harry Potter series and The Westing Game. I’m gonna have some ice cream now.

Hello!

I play the violin. My family is doing three days in a row of trick-or-treating for Halloween! I am going to be a vampiress (girl vampire), because I was a witch for four years in a row. Our dog is going to be a princess!

I am reading and it is a very good book. I recommend it to all. I love “Old Cricket Says,” and whenever I get a new magazine, it is the first thing
