Letters To Luke, Resus & Cleo - Coraline & Red Rose

Dear Luke, Resus and Cleo....

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see..."

"It's a surprise."

Those are the voices of Coraline and her other parents speaking in my head as they go towards the other bedroom. In this other bedroom, it's wonderful in there. I wonder if it smells of lavender? It's got a warm fire, a planet mobile, flying golden dragonfly fairies, a wisecracking alien soft toy, a disabled toy tortoise and photos that talk to you. If Luella were to star in this film instead of Coraline herself, it would be twice as nourishing to see the trainee witch make some discoveries of her own. In the meantime, you should watch Coraline's premiere on BBC Three and ignore other Laika films that have aired on CBBC to outsmart your stop motion looks, such as Kubo & The Two Strings and The Boxtrolls. I think Coraline is becoming my new favourite Laika film of all time, don't you? It's also Luella's favourite as far as I've heard.

I also made up a character called Red Rose, a white furred princess rabbit with a red dress and a golden crown. The name randomly came into my head, and here's one story I thought up starring her:

Red Rose is playing in the castle garden when she comes across a wishing well. She wishes for it to rain pancakes, but nothing happens...until the sun shines onto her magical hand mirror, and she is transported into the wishing well, where she eats a wishing cake that turns her into a tiny fairy princess who is friends with the tiny animals and minibeasts living among the flowers, which she helps grow. She also helps a lost Diplodocus toy hidden among the leaves get back to his owner. And yes, toys do come to life in this beautiful world.

Do you like my Red Rose character? I bet you do! If you do, I would firmly congratulate you for helping me make my stories into beautiful tales starring dogs, animals and monsters. It's evening, so I suppose everyone's tucked up in bed now. Goodnight, see you tomorrow!

Love,

Sophie

The Nightmare

LET THE NIGHTMARE BEGIN!! I had a dream strange but true That might shock and terrify you It’s from my house in Cornwall, you see, And this dream meant much harm to me. I was asleep in bed, enjoying Dreamland’s ride With Luke, Resus and Cleo asleep by my side Chester asleep on one end of the bed As a soppy dream began filling my head My friends and I were roaming around the street Where on the windows cupcakes were cooling for us to eat There were games to play in the graveyard with friends Oh, this joy never ends Suddenly, the sky began to glow blood red The sun became orange and above our heads Tall skyscrapers began to tower As the residents ran in a scattering shower The American flag was lifted above, America’s taking the friends I love So I took out my gun and returned fire The hole in the flag reached my desire “How do you like it?” I yelled in anger, “America, you’re a trapjawed cloakandagger!” Suddenly, an arm took hold of my hand And dragged me away, not to Dreamland But to a...
