Year 4 Group Narratives

The Cure of Love

By Emily, Kelsey & Caitie


Back in the 1970’s there was once a boy called Peter Nicky. Peter was the only member in his family. His parents died when he was young. Peter thought his life would be bad forever, until he discovered a secret door.

He curiously slipped through the big, wooden door and when he was finally at the other side he found out that he was a man and the year was 2009!!! As he looked around he saw he was in another spooky, dark orphanage and then Peter spotted a small news paper, it read …………….. “Peter’s wife, Sally has died, Amanda is Peter’s daughter and no one can find him.” Suddenly Peter felt very sad and quickly looked around the whole orphanage for Amanda.

When he finally found her Peter explained that he was her dad and Amanda understood, but her body was to weak to hug him. “Your ill!”, Peter said. “No one cares for you and dying when you’re so young”, Peter said sadly.

Peter quickly looked around the whole of Amanda’s orphanage for a cure. As he entered Amanda’s small, dark room again, he tripped over a tiny rock and when Peter looked up he saw a smile on Amanda’s face which gave him a great idea!!!

Amanda had a suspicious look on her face when Peter had the super idea. “Maybe all you need is special care!” said Peter. “I’ll give you all the medicine I have found”, he said. Unfortunately none of the medicine worked!

“Hang on; no one cares for you so all you need is a little bit of LOVE!” Peter said loudly. Peter started dancing, singing, hugging Amanda and kissing her. “I, I…………feel SO loved and I am BETTER!!!” Amanda said excitedly. They both hugged each other and said together………… “I U!!”

Peter couldn’t stay in the future forever so he got a loving lady to look after Amanda. After Amanda and Peter said their good-byes Peter went back through the big door and when no one was looking he thanked the big wooden door. Peter continued to thank the big wooden door every time he walked by for helping his precious daughter!!!

Emily, Kelsey & Caitie....I enjoyed the review that you wrote. I'm giving it to Caitie's 6th grade cousin Missy as I think she would also enjoy reading "The Cure of Love." A sad but beautiful story. I hope to read more reviews that you three girls write. I am sharing your book review with Caitie's family in the US. Super that your teacher is helping you create this blog. Love from Caitie's grandmother, Nana America
