My Scholastic Book Fair Experience

The Books I Ended Up Buying In My Book Fair:

Story:

Scholastic Book Fair came to our school! I didn't have any money with me, just a P100 bill so I just peeked in. Many books were stacked up properly from junior novels to graphic comics. I looked a one book that reminded me of one Scholastic book I wanted to buy. I asked the staff saying it wasn't available. I went upstairs, slumpy and not knowing what else to buy. During English class, I saw more books I could afford with just P100. But, the book was a survival guide about totally embarassing moments called "Just My Luck", the hippest and latest survival guide in our classroom for P95. But it wasn't the one I really felt like buying the most. The paper smelled of old, expired mangoes and it was very brown. The next day, I got my The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming for P595. It got wet so I asked for a refund but they won't accept it. I wept and they just gave me a 10% off on a new book since my mom gave me a 500 left. The next day, I brought the new book and refunded it. I bought two other books. Here are all the summaries of the books I bought:
