Chapter One A Crazy Idea I live with my family in a caravan park in Useless Loop a crazy name for a crazy town From our caravan we look straight down over the beach to the ocean At night we can see the lights of Shark Bay twinkling across the water I spend all my spare time on the beach swimming collecting shells and fishing so when Dad said he wanted to get a beach sports car I was crazy with excitement Imagine it Annie Dad said our own sports car And not just any sports
Woof Woof barked Patches He was as delighted as me
Chapter Two Waiting for Dad I can’t wait We’re picking up our beach sports car when Dad gets home from work today Will it be sleek and low What colour will it be Will it have speed stripes running along the sides How many of my friends will fit in it and how fast will it go How much longer before Dad gets home Mum That’s the tenth time you’ve asked me Annie I’ll never get these biscuits
