A sample of my 12-year-old son's writing abilities:
Some people, like myself, find that the easiest way to get to sleep at night is to just think, letting your mind wander off to strange places. It is almost a dulling of the mind, because you must not be trying to fall asleep. For whenever you remember what you are trying to do, you wake up out of that delicious half-awakeness.
But really, that stage of falling asleep is the most dangerous. Usually, sleep overcomes you if you can keep it up long enough without remembering that you want to fall asleep. But if sleep fails to overtake you in time, the fairies notice: and being the mischief-makers they are, they weave their magic into your half-awake dreams, and you go into the dreams for real. And that is just what happened to a boy named Archie, one night.
