Hi, My name is Ian and I will tell you all about the movie, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. In this movie, Miss Peregrine and some peculiar children live in a house together. They fight off bad guys with their peculiar magic powers. My favorite super power is the character Claire's power. She is light as air so she has to wear metal shoes to hold her down. I like Claire's power because if someone tries to catch her, she can fly away.
There are many types of super powers, but if I could choose one, I would like to be able to grow taller and smaller. If I am holding a person's hand, then that person can become smaller or taller too. I would use this power to save people. If they are trapped in a dangerous place, I could sneak in and help them. I would hold their hands and then we would escape together. The police would call me when they needed my help.
Sometimes, just for fun, I would grow smaller and live in my doll house. This way I could enjoy my free time in a place where nobody would think to look. Every once in a while, I would become small and sneak into the kitchen to find some leftover cake and other treats without other people seeing me. It would be great!
For these and many more reasons I want to grow smaller and taller, and then live happily ever after, just like the children in the movie. Thanks for reading my story.
