Sinopse

Monday 17th January
It's finally time for the school trip! And we're off to the SPOOKIEST castle I have EVER seen!

Bea Black is in her second term at witch school and she can't wait for the Year Seven residential trip to the haunted Cadabra Castle. The students are excited to fly around the famous GO pitch, explore the ancient turrets and have a magical time … if they can just stop arguing! Except Ms Sparks has other plans – this isn't a holiday, it's a team-building exercise for a class who desperately need to learn to work together.

But with rumours of a ghost terrorizing the castle, Bea has a lot more to contend with than scavenger hunts and hikes! Not least being paired up with Blair Smith-Smythe, her ULTIMATE frenemy! Will the class learn anything from their time at Cadabra? And more importantly, will Bea and Blair manage to avoid hexing each other for long enough to solve the spooky mystery?

A perfect potion of magic and mischief, DIARY OF AN ACCIDENTAL WITCH is THE WORST WITCH meets TOM GATES.

The boy was a little pigmy and that the task of providing food fell wholly upon his sister. One day she went out to get some wood for the lodge-fire and took little brother with her. She made him a bow and arrows and said: "I will leave you because I must gather the wood for fire. You should hide yourself, and kill some snow-birds." He tried his best to kill one, but he came home unsuccessful. The sister reassured him and said that he shouldn't despair and try one more time. Next day he succeeded to kill a bird. He was very proud. After he went for a walk, he found a beautiful meadow. He was tired and laid on the ground and fell asleep. While he was sleeping the sunbeams hit him and damaged his clothes.

The Weapon by Isaac Asimov - “You ask us of Mars for a weapon to save your world. We have it–but it is not for you Earthman. Men may die and planets perish, but we break not the law of the universe–Every civilization must work out its own destiny!” 
In a future where totalitarian wars have nearly eradicated democracy on Earth, Preston Calvin travels to Mars seeking help from the advanced Martians. He asks for a chemical they used long ago to curb emotions like anger and hate, enabling them to reject war and violence. The Martians refuse, believing each civilization must forge its own path. 
"The Weapon" is a short story by Isaac Asimov, written in September 1938 when he was 18 and first published in the May 1942 issue of Super Science Stories under the pseudonym H.B. Ogden. Asimov later forgot about this story, believing it was rejected and lost. Consequently, it was not included in his 1972 collection, The Early Asimov, where he listed it among eleven of his lost stories. However, while writing his autobiography, In Memory Yet Green (1979), Asimov found a diary entry that reminded him of its publication. He then obtained a copy of the magazine and ensured the story was included in the autobiography.
