When Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise the distribution price one-tenth of a cent per paper, ten cents per hundred, the newsboys, poor enough already, are outraged. Inspired by the strike put on by the trolley workers, Jack "Cowboy" Kelly organizes a newsboys' strike. With David Jacobs as the brains of the new union, and Jack as the voice, the weak and oppressed found the strength to band together and challenge the powerful. (Written by Kaitlin Dwyer Rankins) Jack and David were the main characters, but they could not do it without Spot Conlon. Little is known about the King of Brooklyn, but as a character based on a boy who actually lived, he must have had dreams and ambitions just like fictional Jack and David. Here are my writings in a small attempt to give Spot Conlon the story--and the ending--he deserves.

NOTE: CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REVISION! Twilight Eventide is a 15 year old girl who has a temper, a bad temper. That's where she got her name, Tempest. She is a real good fighter and can take care of herself pretty well. When she was 5, her parents were taken away and murdered, therefore she had to run away and ended up in Manhattan, for everyone thought she was the one that did it. Jack Kelly, who became her unofficial brother, took her in after a few years and brought her up to fight and sell papers. She has no need to dress up as a boy, being herself is much more intimidating. Tempest cannot do anything and thinks there should be more excitement in her boring dull New York life. Spot is the feared newsie leader from Brooklyn. He is known as a big womanizer, but he hasn't found "the one" yet. Right now he is with a girl named Livia, a greedy shirtwaist factory girl. He is a pretty good leader for Brooklyn, his cane that he stole from Pulitzer and his slingshot are his main weapons. Being intimidating has always been his way to get people to do what he wants, but it doesn't work on Tempest, not one bit. As they meet, will these two powerful newsies clash? Or will they be able to tolerate each other, at least until the end of the strike? (I do not own any Newsies Characters except the ones that I made up!)

(Despise this book so much. I hate it. Kinda makes sense but if give it read if ya want 😂- me writing from June pt3) PREQUEL TO JUNE CONLON Pt1 &2!! You can read this story on its own. Also if your are reading this series you can skip this is guess, but then there might be some stuff that confuse you in the next book so please read this 😂. Anyway 1898 (one year before the strike) Isabella is now a waitress at Lucky Dill. Though she didn't realise the Brooklyn newsies go there everday for lunch. Especially the King of Brooklyn himself, Spot Conlon. Isabella and Spot dislike each other from the moment they met. Will this change as he learns about her? Or will she learn more about this cocky boy? Rubbish summary but here goes 😂

Credit to the amazing -Sitarday- for the awesome cover. 🎶When I dream on my own, I'm alone but I ain't lonely. For a dreamer, night's the only time of day.🎶 The year was 1899. Jack Kelly found an orphaned teenage girl named Abby Taylor on the street after selling newspapers. He ends up taking her to the newsboys' lodging house and teaches her to become a newsie. What will happen when the two start to fall in love with each other as a strike begins? (This is based of off the 1992 Newsies film.)

Amari Santana. At least that's her real name but people call her 'Minx' cause of her perfectly well shaped face, full lips, and big doe eyes as well as siren eyes. Plus well-defined jawline, nicely tan and pinkish cheeks. They call her 'Minx' because of the flirtatious way she looks at people with her eyes. The way she smirks. She can easily bring people on their knees. When she meets one person... her enemy, supposedly she thinks he is. Spot Conlon, King of Brooklyn. They have never met before but when problems happens between Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and other territories they have to work together. When time goes by they start to fall for each other... especially Spot Conlon... Please read 🙏🏽 I suggest you watch the musical: Newsies if you want to understand the story. Either the broadway or actual movie, I suggest watching the actual movie. (And I provide music on the top of every part. If you don't like the music then you can listen to your own!)

Kat Kelly: independent, sarcastic, and younger sister of Jack. NOT someone who needs "protection" by the reluctant King of Brooklyn himself, Spot Conlon. But when Spot and Kat start to catch feelings and word gets out about Kat being Jack's sister, the newsies find out that some people will do anything to stop the strike, including harming Kat. Based on the 1992 movie, but anyone can read!

4 A/N chapters "But I'm tiny" "You're a Conlon you're short" June Conlon started living in the "Manhattan orphanage for boys and girls" ever since the tragedy of her parents. Though her brother - Spot - got different plans and went to find a job to make a better life. She's 13 (going on 14) and she has the most amazing friends James, Lavender, Alex and Mike. Spot still visits but not as much as he used to - seeing that he is leader of Brooklyn. Though the question always stuck with June; why she couldn't visited the newsies? Though one day she meets the Manhattan newsies by accident. It's a shock to them all. #6 - Newsies

In which a girl travels back in time to the Newsies strike of 1899. She finds new friends and a new life. What more could she want? And when the time comes, will she choose her new life over her old? Based off of Newsie movie. I own nothing except for the plot and my original characters. Please comment, suggest, etc.! Anything to make my stories better! This was one of my first stories, so bear with me if it seems kinda trashy.

Jaime Kelly, also known as "Books", is the leader of the Lower Manhattan Newsies. She loves her Newsies like they're her family. Every 8 Days she goes to see her best friend, Spot, the "King of Brooklyn". Everything seems to be going pretty normal until one day when she and her brother, Jack, start a strike against "The World". But what happens when memories of her past starts to resurface? And what happens when she makes a bet with " King Idiot" that in 8 days he could get her to say 8 letters? Note: ALL CHARACTERS MENTIONED IN THE 1992 FILM BELONG TO DISNEY. I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS EXCEPT FOR JAIME AND ANY OTHER CHARACTERS NOT MENTIONED IN THE NEWSIES 1992 FILM!
