Peter Stratinger Revealed!

We have received several emails asking us what about Peter's favorite things to do when he is not on a mission. Although very popular at school, he tends to spend a lot of his time outside of school and missions alone. What does he like to do? Get outside and exercise by running around his neighborhood and then all the way to main street past Joey's aunt's Apothecary. At home, Peter works out his angst over Joey on his XBox playing Call of Duty and on his PC getting lost in World of Warcraft.

Peter listens to a lot of different kinds of music too. Nickelback, Linkin Park, Green Day, Black Eyed Peas (only because he has a thing for Fergie!) are all on his iPod, but U2's Joshua Tree album is his favorite of all time!

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Joey's Poetry

Our heroine, Joey Thompson, enjoys writing poetry in her spare time. Here's one of her latest.

"Curse of the Amulet"
Convince yourself that stealing is right,
And you will pay a hefty price.

A simple necklace turns your fate,
Transports to a place you cannot relate.

If you fail, you will be stuck,
Use your brains, make your own luck.

You may get home,
Then, again, you may not.

Watch your back,
It's about to start.

Harriet Tubman Fun Facts

Harriet Tubman was not her real name! Her name at birth was Araminta Ross. She changed her first name in honor of her mother "Harriet."  Her last name changed from Ross to Tubman when she was briefly married to John Tubman in 1844.  

The Rosses, Harriet's family, came to America from the West African Ashanti Tribe.

For more information about Harriet Tubman, check out our website at www.amuletchronicles.com and click the 'Educational Resources' tab for the Harriet Tubman fact sheet.

Congratulations President Barack Obama!

We can only imagine how proud Harriet Tubman would have felt had she been alive in this day and age in order to offer her congratulations to President Barack Obama.
How fantastic of an example of how far this country has come.
Keep up the good work, America!
