Ella was just a regular girl until she got abandoned at 3 years old in the Amazon rainforest, by her parents who were too young to take care of her.

Her parents drove her from her house in Brazil to the Amazon rainforest.

Whenever Ella was abandoned, she wandered about the jungle looking for resources. She was exhausted and tried to drink out of a pond when she met a sea turtle who she named Jeffrey. He took care of her and tried to help her get food like fish and mushrooms. He helped her to get across the water. Jeffrey used his fins to communicate sign language with Ella...

Elizabeth was at home thinking about the jungle and all the animals. As she looked out the window, she saw the cranes of East Belfast on a misty day.

Henry woke up and there were wasps all over his room. He got stung 15 times. His brother Steve’s axolotl was sitting in his tank just watching while he ate his popcorn from the night before. Henry screamed to his mummy, ‘Help!’. He had an allergic reaction and was swelling up. He ran around the whole house screaming, "HELP, HELP, HELP!", while swatting the wasps away with his guitar as they followed him down the hallway. His mum ran up the stairs and said, "Oh my goodness! We need to phone the ambulance. Calm down, calm down, they will be here soon!"...

Hi! I’m Jake, and this is my story. I met my best friend Jada when we were born in the same hospital. We’ve been best friends ever since.

But one early morning, I found out that Jada got into a car accident! She was unconscious, and when I went to the hospital, I found out she was in a coma. The night before it happened, I could sense that something bad was going to happen, and I couldn’t sleep. To make things worse, Jada and I had been fighting the day before, so when I found out she was in a coma, it broke my heart.

When Jada woke up from the coma, I was by her bedside. She said, “Who are you?”...
