Gabriela — page 3 — 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

Gabriela — page 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

Gabriela — page 5 — In Costa Rica Abuela doesn’t live near a library either said Dani She convinced a shopkeeper to keep books in her store Now the villagers borrow books from the shop Dani is a lucky duck She visits our grandmother in Costa Rica all the time I wish we could do that here I said Instead of the girls coming to our cabin to borrow books they could go to the Green Canteen Charge everyone here a dollar to read your books Gabriela said 6

Gabriela — page 6 — Carly picking up Bigfoot Returns You’ll be rich I yawned again and then held my hand out You’d owe me about fifteen dollars Carly set the book down fast and giggled Dani Carly Kianna and I are Pony Girls That means we’re first year campers here at Storm Cliff Stables It’s a summer camp for girls who love horses Carly pointed at me Don’t fall asleep during Bree’s lesson 7
