Yeah that’s pretty cool Malcolm remembered another house at the carnival It had always been one of his favorites And we’ll have to go into the Screaming Mansion Even though it’s probably not all that scary anymore Malcolm had already had several encounters with real ghosts including his great-grandfather Bertram and his pet dog Spooky So how scary could a carnival haunted house be It’s the jump-out moments that scare the bejeebbers out of me Dandy said The bus turned onto Dandy’s street Dandy removed the straw from his mouth and tucked it into his pocket I’m just happy that I get to sleep in Ugh Malcolm wished he could sleep in I have to go to the fair parade in the morning he said
Dandy made a face That’s just a bunch of boring stuff like the mayor and the high school band Oh and that one horned goat they call a unicorn And those goofy girls running for Fair Queen Yeah Malcolm said that’s why I have to go My sister is one of those goofy girls
Cocoa for Fair Queen Malcolm tried to digest his dinner that night but his sister Cocoa made it impossible It’s a disaster she moaned gripping the door frame like she needed medical attention I can’t find my sapphire earrings my raspberry lip gloss has dried up and there’s a huge crease in my taffeta dress She drooped against the wall like she was about to faint
