    If I were in the Witness Security Program, my new name would be Evangeline Pratchett. My family would hopefully be relocated to Quakertown PA. I would hope to be placed into the United Friends Private School. I would make my hair a darker blonde and get a wavy perm. My eyes would be changed to green with the help of contacts. My new friends would be the super weird kids like the ones I have now. When I am old enough I would try to get a job at the James A. Mitchner Library.

    The visit with Roland Smith was extremely interesting. He was not what I expected an author to be like. I loved his stories about his job with the Red Wolves, and his time spent in Africa. I think Roland Smith is an amazing author, and I hope he will come back to Sika in the future.

    If I were in the witness protection program, I would relocate to Kentucky. My name would be Festus McScrubb. I would be a tall, skinny boy from the mountains, who likes to hunt buffaloes for school projects. My school would be boring, and I would have a hankerin' to get out and milk the mountain lions. I'd make some new friends, and we'd have many rootin' tootin' adventures. The year would be 1875.
    When Roland Smith came I learned the scientific name for the giant squid, but then I forgot it. I liked it when Roland Smith told us about some of his books.

    If I were placed in the witness security program, my name would be Joelyn Brady. I would definitely want to be relocated in Seattle,WA. My Hair color would be dark brown,and eye color would be green. My home would be living in a lot somewhere there. I probably be very shy. It might be difficult but it would be a new beginning.

    Roland Smith's visit was very interesting. He is a very good author, like how he wrote Zach's Lie. He showed us some of his other books he's written. Roland taught us the way to publish a book. He told us about his adventures and what his life is like being an author. One of his jobs is to travel the world finding out information about his newest books. I someday would love to travel the world.

    If I were in the Witness Protection Program, I would live in Providence, Rhode Island, go by the name Erik Shadow and live in a small one story house. I would write stories in my free time, and I would go to a school with lots and lots of kids. I would keep my dog, because she would be a really good guard dog. If they found me, I would have a lot of traps set up in my house, all ready to be set off. I would do my best to stay unnoticed, and I would definitely not keep a journal like Zach.

    Roland Smith's visit was really fun and very inspiring to me.

I would have light brown hear with dark brown streaks, blue eyes and white straight teeth. My name would be Ashley Kangaroo. I would have a pet dog named saboca. He would go swimming and on my boat with me. I would also have an orca that I would swim with in her tant. I would have a nice loving personality. My best friend would help me with my job working with marine animals and he would stay there all day with them if they were sick. That's what I would do if I was in the Witness Protection Program!

    Roland Smith was a very inspiring author. He was really funny and has good books. If I were an author I would want to be just like him.

    If I were to be in the Witness Security Program, I would definatly want to live in New Zealand, change my name to Marigold. I would change my hair color to black, and blonde highlights. I would get a spray tan like every week so it would suit my hair. I would love to move to New Zealand, It's a great country. I would have a pet chicken and give it cookies so it would wash my funky hair, dude. I would have to change my personality too, so, I would be a very boring person in New Zealand. I would not flirt, laugh, smile, jump, sing, or dance. Those are all of the things I do in my life right now, and I love my life. So moving to New Zealand is going to SUCK. Well, that's all for now.

    If I were in the Witness Protection Program, I would relocate to Paris at a beautiful Parisian apartment overlooking the Tour Eiffel. I would change my name to Gaston who is a famous painter. No one would even catch up to me, because I’d travel so much! The move would be so easy because I already have friends there. I would grow a long mustache and wear a beret every day. Every morning I’d go to my favorite bakery and eat my favorite pastry, pain au chocolat. Oh I’d have strong, smelly cheeses every day. That would be so cool!


    The book talk was awesome! I learned a lot and he inspired me to consider writing more on my spare time.

    If I were in the Witness Protection Program, I would change my name to Miley Cyrus. I wouldn't live anywhere. I would just travel around the world and never settle anywhere. I would do that so that the people out to get me would never find me. The reason people are out to get me is probably cause I ticked off the real Miley Cyrus, and now she sends goons to kill me. I would dye all my hair neon orange and my eyes would be red. So that when people meet me they would think that Miley Cyrus did that. That's what I would do if I were in the Witness Protection Program.
    I liked Roland Smith's presentation. He was very interesting and I thought he was funny.

    If I were in the witness securty program I would have to be moved to Oregon because of how it's not some place you choose out of the blue. Some people would go to fancy places like Las Vegas,or Hawaii. The school would be clean and have some graffiti. The teenagers would be a little mean but mostly nice. I would change my name to Reed Kizer because that's the name I would want. I wouldn't have new friends because I would not talk to any one.
    Roland Smith, it was too bad I missed his talk, but I like Zack Lie and I hope I can read Jack's Run. It seems like it would be a good book since the first was good. I bet the second would be better. I can't wait till I get to read the second book.

    If I had to enter the witness security program my new name would be Ricke Larsen. I would live in Skagit Valley, Washington. I would also have my hair color changed to a bright red color and my eyes to a brighter blue. My new school will be a very good school with many different people and tons of extra activities and things to do. With nice teachers and good school lunches. My new friends would be nice people named Oliver Olsen and Summer Rain. I would have many others friends, but Oliver and Summer would be my closest friends. During the summer I would have a summer job to earn money to have a good time with my friends. I would work near my friends at the local senior center! My life would be great except for the fact of hiding a very big secret.

    I thought that Roland Smith is a very good author. His speech was very good and made me want to read more of his books! I can't wait to start reading. He inspired me to want to write my own book and be able to travel around the world.

    If I were relocated in the Wittness Security Program, I would want my new name to be Jonhathon Bytmifingar. I would live in a traveling circus, with my sister, Jomama, my dad, Gilbert, and my mother, Ima Lama. We would be top-notch clowns of the racket, living off of cotton candy and popcorn. Our paycheck would be 10 cents an hour, but we wouldn't care. And if the criminals find us, we'll just bop them on the nose with a bowling pin, then leave to make another town laugh.

    I never got to meet Roland Smith because I was home sick. That is one thing I regret. I loved his books, and I would have loved to meet him in person. His books have a certain suspense of "what the heck is going to happen next?" that makes his books so good.

    If I had to enter the witness security program my new name would be Elizabeth Rain. I would relocate to Olympia, Washington. It would be like the schools in the movies where all the teachers are boring and would speak in monotone. My new friends would be Opal Johnson and Sarah Johnson. That's how life would be if I had to enter the witness security program like Jack had to in Zachs Lie.

    If I had to go into the Witness Security Program I would move to Las Vegas to become the world's best American chess player and win the world chess championship, and change my name to Bobby Fisher. I would rule the world at chess and beat my 7th grade teacher Mr. Allison at chess, then laugh in his face.
    Roland Smith was a really good author and I really liked his books. He was really funny and sounded like a nice guy.
