The Magical Ms. Plum
Everybody wants to be in Ms. Plum’s class. It’s not just that she teaches the usual things in unusual ways. There’s something more, something about Ms. Plum herself—and her mysterious supply closet. Whenever she asks her students to get her an eraser or a pencil or some paper clips, they come back with something . . . unusual. Who’d have thought a pinky-sized alligator, a big-mouth parrot, or a tiny wolf could teach kids a thing or two about life?
Each year, Ms. Plum is certain she’s had her best class ever. And it looks like this year . . . she’s right!
Relatable behavioral and personality issues are poked gently with empathy and humor in this fun, warmhearted chapter book.
An Excerpt from The Magical Ms. Plum
The next morning, the sun rose just as it should. And at 8:48 a.m., Ms. Plum stood at the front of her classroom, her hands resting neatly before her as her new students scuffled and tumbled into class.
They looked at her and quickly looked away again, not wanting to show how excited or curious (or even a little scared) they were.
Nearly every student at Springtime Elementary knew there was something about Ms. Plum’s class. But the kids who had her in other years never said much. In fact, if you asked about her, funny things seemed to happen to their mouths. Their lips would open and shut, twist and turn, and finally something would pop out, like “We learned a lot about hermit crabs.” But they would have this smile. A secret kind of smile, and suddenly, more than anything, you wanted to be in that class.
It was true Ms. Plum had a nice sort of tidiness about her. Her gray-blond hair sprouted up like wings behind her ears. Her plum-colored glasses, perched on her large, friendly nose, sprigged up into sparkly points. The eyes behind those glasses were a light brown color and as bright as a sparrow’s. But it had to be more than her friendly look, didn’t it?
Today, as the students settled into their new desks, Ms. Plum welcomed them to class and began to call roll. As the students raised their hands, Ms. Plum paused, studied each child, then wrote something on her list.
“Now then,” she said, smiling with bright-eyed interest. “Who wants to get me a pencil?”
Nadia was afraid to raise her hand.
Mindy Minn was carefully arranging her things in her desk.
Why bother? thought Jeremy. Why bother with anything at all?
She should have a pencil already. Teachers are supposed to have pencils, thought Becky Oh.
Darma gnawed at the bug bites on her knuckles.
Jovi didn’t understand the question.
Eric was trying to get Brad’s attention.
Brad and Tashala were too busy arguing to notice anything.
Carlos raised his hand, because offering to help the teacher showed them right away that you were one of the smart ones.
But Ms. Plum pointed at Tashala and said, “Tashala, could you get me a pencil, dear?”
Tashala, looking a little startled, stopped arguing and stared at her teacher. Ms. Plum cocked her head, her sparkly glasses catching the sunlight. She nodded toward the closet.
Tashala stood up, went to the closet, opened the door, and stepped inside.
And so began another year of Ms. Plum.
Ms. Plum is the magical teacher every schoolkid wishes for!
Once the magical plum is plucked from its tree, it radiates a soft, ethereal glow. Its skin is a deep purple, almost shimmering in the moonlight, and it is said to have a sweet, intoxicating fragrance. However, the true magic lies within the flesh of the plum. When a person takes a bite of the magical plum, a surge of energy courses through their veins. They can feel the power of the universe flowing through them, and they become connected to the forces of creation. In that moment, they are granted the ability to make a wish, and it is believed that the plum will do everything in its power to fulfill it. The wish made with the magical plum must be sincere and pure of heart. The plum has a way of discerning the true intentions of the person making the wish, and it will only grant it if it aligns with the greater good. It is said that if someone has ill intentions or seeks to use the plum for personal gain, their wish will be denied, and they will be forever barred from the plum's magic. Once the wish is made, the magic of the plum dissipates, and it returns to its ordinary state. It can be consumed like any other plum, but its magical properties are gone. The person who made the wish often finds themselves changed, with a newfound appreciation for the power of belief and the potential that lies within themselves. The amazing magical plum is a symbol of hope and possibility. It teaches us to dream big and to have faith in our desires. While the plum itself may be mythical, its message is very real - that magic exists within each of us, waiting to be discovered..
Reviews for "The Magical Plum: Nature's Secret Weapon"
- Emma - 2 stars - I really didn't enjoy "Amazing magical plum". I found the story to be quite dull and predictable. The characters were not well-developed and their actions felt forced. Additionally, the writing style was not engaging and lacked the emotion and depth that I was hoping for. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it.
- David - 1 star - I couldn't finish "Amazing magical plum". The plot was confusing and poorly executed. It felt like the author was trying to cram multiple ideas into one book without fully exploring any of them. The dialogue was stilted and the descriptions were uninspiring. I found myself losing interest and ultimately gave up on trying to understand what was going on. Not my cup of tea at all.
- Sarah - 3 stars - "Amazing magical plum" was an okay read for me. While I appreciate the creativity behind the magical elements in the story, I felt that they were poorly integrated into the overall plot. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on and others feeling rushed. The main character lacked depth and I struggled to connect with them. While it had its moments, I wouldn't say it was a book that stood out to me.
