Hi. I’m Betsy. I’m nine-years-old. Almost ten! My best friend is Lucas. He lives across the street from my house, and we have been best friends since we were six.
I love superheroes. I have wanted to be one since I saw The Incredibles. I always thought it would be cool to have a superpower and be a superhero. So I trained. And I trained – rock climbing, parkour, ninja.
I have a dog named Diana. She’s a black lab. She is awesome.
My mom works at a zoo in Chicago, and my dad is an environmental consultant. He works everywhere! Their names are Elizabeth and Shawn. My Gaga also lives with us. She’s the best grandmother EVER. Her name is Liz.
Lucas and I are in the same school class. Our teacher, Mrs. Oliver, is kind of a pill. She doesn’t like superheroes.
My superpower is awesome. I don’t know how it works, but I can talk to animals. It doesn’t matter what kind of animal; they understand me, and I understand them. I found out I was finally a superhero after I fell on a Ninja course. The next day, I understood everything that our class guinea pig said. I’ll have to tell you that story someday!
