Chapter 1 Wild Wonders Malcolm's Malcolm’s legs stuck to the hot bus seat He scrambled up on his knees to open the window He tugged and tugged but the window wouldn’t budge Can you give me a hand Dandy looked up from the book in his lap He clapped his hands What was that for Dandy shrugged I don’t know My dad always does that when I ask him to give me a hand It’s supposed to be funny 4
Malcolm groaned Really We’re doing dad jokes now You can’t argue with a classic Dandy flipped a page Dad says that too Malcolm Mrs Goolsby called from her seat Please sit down It’s time to leave The window won’t open Malcolm complained The bus driver cranked the engine and the roar drowned out Malcolm’s voice With a sigh he slid back down the hot seat I’m going to melt to death Dandy looked up from his book At least you’re wearing shorts My mom said shorts are an invitation to be bitten by a mosquito carrying an exotic zoo disease What keeps them from biting your hands or your head Malcolm asked Bug spray Dandy said I have three cans I can share some with you 5
