Joao by Jojo

Blurb:
In the town Jurud Lives a boy called Joao. At the age of 10 Joao's dream has been to travel to Australia. But to reach his dream Joao has to face his nightmares.
Chapter 1: "Joao" shouts mum from down stairs "time for dinner". I get up from my bed and go down and just before I walk in the dining room i feel 2 hands cover my eyes "who is it" I ask. there is no answer all i hear is a few people snickering. The unknown person guides me to the table and sits me down on the chair. Then the unknown person takes his hands of me and i hear "SURPRISE!" screems everyone at the table. In front of me is a box that is raped up and says "Happy Birthday from mum & dad". "it's a day early" I say in suprise.
"Open it" says my brother. Everybody is staring at me. I grab the box and shake it a few times then rip it open. Inside is a red composs. "to serch the streets of Brazil" says dad
"chicken" I say "my favourite"
"we cooked it just for you" says mum
"thanks" i say. When I get up the stairs to my room. I think about what dad said " to serch the streets of Brazil"
Thats when i thought of it. My only dream has been to travil to Austrlia, so why don't i do it. To see what it's like in Australa. I get into bed and look at my wall that is covered in posters and maps of Australia and think of the day ahead.
