About the author

Rebekah A. Morris has lived her entire life (as of now) in Missouri. Being home educated during her school years was great, except for writing. That was the worst subject (along with math) that she had to do. It wasn't until after she graduated that she discovered the joys and wonder of writing. Now she can't write enough. After spending six years in research and writing, she completed her first book, "Home Fires of the Great War," a 500+ page, historical fiction about home life in the United States and Canada during the First World War. Since then, she has been an avid writer and always has more than one story going on at once because only one story at a time got tiring and dull.

Very cute, and the thought processes and logic (or lack of it) felt extremely realistic for kids. The don't-try-this-at-home warning is definitely warranted! :D

[Ellen Senechal]

Another lovely short story! I often wonder where Miss Morris gets her writing inspirations from. My siblings have never tried combining Legos and toothpaste (as of yet), but it sounds soooo believable! :) And that last sentence: "They learned that sometimes creativity can carry a hidden price tag."
Overall, definitely a book I would recommend and plan to read again! <3

Haha! I loved this story, it's perfect for young readers! And it was so much fun to design that cover for Rebekah! :)

I had to smile over this story again.

[Lydia Willcock]

Ouch! What more could go wrong? XD
I can totally see myself doing this (or wanting to) when I was little!

[Abigail Harris]

This is a super short but humorous story!

3 stars & 3/10 hearts. This is a cute little story, pretty realistic. ;) I thought the toothpaste idea was actually pretty clever!

a cute story!! I enjoyed reading it; it was a lot shorter than I expected it to be. I kept thinking 'uh-oh' the whole way through lol

(the 3 stars doesn't necessarily reflect on the quality of work, just the fit of it with books I normall read)
