The Zack Files



I'm out of my body Please Leave a Message


That book is about a little boy and weird things happen to him. One day Zack invited his friend Spencer for a sleepover. When it was bedtime Spencer opened a book that can make you get out of your body just like a ghost. He opened the book to page thirteen and read the directions to get out of your body to Zack. They followed the directions and after some minutes, they were floatingin the air in there astral bodies. They went floating through the houses, walls and to the zoo. When they arived they went to see the lions . The cage was closed so they went through it into the lions cave. The lions couldn't' see them but could sence them so one ate Zack and Spencer. They floated out of him and went to the statue of Liberty. There they went up to the torch. When they came back down they went to watch a scary movie and Zack was so scared so they went home. Spencer tried to open the page to page 14 where the directions are to go back to normal but with his astral hand he couldn't so he told Zack. They were both worried about what Zack's dad would think. Spencer got the idea to go to there science teacher and she was wierd to. So theywent to her house . They were thinking maybe she could tell them how to go back to there bodys.
