The Vine Reader

The six avian kids that were created in a vile lab called the School are back in this second action-packed adventure. It starts after the cliff hangar after the recent rescue of Angel, but something is not right. Maybe the fact that the kids are being chassed by the same old Erasers, but they are different. Much different. They have wings. And they are not going to stop the chase untill the bird kids are captured no matter what if it takes to fight till the death.

Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for his fourth year. What he, Ron and Hermione don’t know is that they will be accompanied with two other rival schools; The Beauxbatons and the Durmstrangs. A 17 year old champion will be chosen from each school to compete in four dangerous tasks. So when a fourth name, 15 year old Harry Potter, was chosen as the fourth member, tentions rise.

In episode 4, we continue our student interviews. We’re trying something new this time, too. A couple things, actually. Our show intro is done by Zoe, whom we interviewed on the last episode. This episode also features a song. This may be a new feature we continue. I picked the song for this episode, but hopefully I can get the readers to find one. We’ll be selecting music from podsafe music websites. Being a librarian and all, I try not to break any copyright laws.
