Chapter 1 Bigfoot Returns Carly slid onto the bench She squirted ketchup onto her scrambled eggs Whatcha reading I closed my book Bigfoot Returns I stretched my arms above my head and yawned I almost finished it last night but my flashlight ran out of batteries Dani my cousin yawned back at me You sure do read a lot of books 4
It’s true Reading is one of my favorite things to do If I’m not riding a horse I’m probably reading a book After curfew every night I slide under my blanket and turn on my flashlight My mom sends me books and batteries in my care packages Why do you get so many books asked Kianna Because I love to read I said Which is good since our ranch is sort of in the middle of nowhere The library is an hour away so we order books online 5
