Chapter 1 PICK A PET Finley Flowers plunked her backpack down on the kitchen table and rifled through it Has anyone seen my lucky rock I put it in here so I’d have it for my geography test this morning but when I got to school it was gone Finley’s older brother Zack looked up from his homework You don’t need a lucky rock for a test You just need to study He held up his math book Which is what I’m trying to do right now Anyway there’s no such thing as a lucky rock For your information I did study Finley said dumping out the rest of her backpack And there is too such a thing as a lucky rock I have one
Zack smirked What’s so lucky about it It’s smooth and gray with little white flecks And it fits just right in my hand Zack raised an eyebrow So what makes it lucky Finley shrugged I don’t know magic I just want to know if you’ve seen it Nope Zack said But there are tons of rocks in the driveway Why don’t you get one of those Finley sighed That’s just gravel Maybe it’s magic gravel Zack said Then he burst out laughing Finley glared at her brother and he ducked behind his book Just then their little sister Evie bounded into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the bowl on the table My lucky rock is missing Finley told her Have you seen it Evie chomped on her apple What does it look like
