This book comprises of three stories about Zelda and
Ivy’s fun filled adventures in the Runaways, the Time Capsule and the Secret Concoction. The little fox sisters run
away into their back yard to protest having to eat their Dad’s cucumber
sandwiches, which they detest. They go on to build a time capsule in the next
story, and concoct a secret potion to hopefully cure Zelda’s writer’s block in
the last story. This book could be used to discuss time capsules and what a
student could possibly put in there. It
could also be used to find other ways to cure writer’s block other than
drinking “creative juice.”
