The Letter box

Dear Cricket,

I have read your magazine many times and I love it! It makes me happy when it comes in the mail. I am legally blind and cannot see as well as others, but that’s OK, because I am still very smart. My type of blindness is caused by albinism. Everyone is jealous of my hair, because it is beautiful white.

I have two kittens, Mittens and Muffins. When we went to the vet, Muffins turned out to be a boy, so we call him Muffin Man. My grandma has chickens and cows. I can look forward to scrambled eggs, chicken noodle soup, and prime rib. Yum!

I love the names Muffin and Pussywillow, because they remind me of my cats.

Dear Cricket,

I have two dogs. One is named Huckabee, and the other is Hawthorne. I love Harry Potter, and my favorite book is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’ve taken the Harry Potter quiz several times and am a Gryffinclaw (Gryffindor and Ravenclaw put together). Some of my favorite stories in Cricket are “Magnus” (October 2018–January 2019) and “In Search Of” (January–April 2019).

Eliot Lux,
