Good for you, Darrell. What did you win the competition for? :D
In came the Taggertys. They were clean, except Biddy knees looked like she had been crawling half a mile in some muddy place.

Have you read this one yet? If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's a good story! I won't say anything else incase I give it away.

Yes I have. It is super-coool!!!! Thalia and the lipstick and all!!!! But when they go in again after coming out at the end of the book..... it ends with a FLASH!!!! The children can just use the lipstick and escape again. Thanks for thinking about not giving away the suspense...... and all!!

That is the one I remember! It's quite a sad story, all those kids stuck in a grey colourless world for such a long time. If I remember right, though, the lipstick was losing its colour just as they escaped so it may not have worked again!

Darrell, there is no danger in giving your first name. You just really shouldn't give personal details such as address, phone number or surname, especially when you are young. Usernames are fine, but I'm always a little unhappy if I don't know people's first names. After all, we are a happy family!

You said your name is on the competition blog, yeah? Surely the blog is already public? So loads of people will have seen your name already?

Don't worry, Darrell. I don't think we know Icecream's Christian name, I did but have forgotten it! In any event, she hasn't made it public on the forums.

If you're Dad doesn't want you to release your first name, then you must respect his wishes, irrespective of what others, or you yourself, might think.

Quite recently Icey told me her first name but she asked me to keep it a secret and that is what I must do.

OK guys...

I asked my dad....

I liked Foina's point and it's true....

so my dad gave me permission to tell everyone my first name.

pls don't laugh. It is an Indian name which means culture, though it might seem strange to you guys.....

"Anita" is derived from the Hebrew name "Hannah" and means "grace; favour".

"Abigail" is the usual spelling of "Abby Gale".
