Chapter 1 I Olive Sun-Hee Oh am a girl who loves adventure What kind of adventure you ask Things like climbing the big tree in our backyard or racing my older brother Ray down the street on our bikes And in exactly six days I will be going on the adventure of a lifetime My best friend Marcus Wong and his parents are going camping and they’re taking me with them Greta and Cory my friends from school are coming too Ever since our school’s art show Marcus and I have been hanging out with Greta and 9
Cory a lot more We have lots of fun because they both love art like I do Next weekend we will be camping under the stars at Big Bear Lake I’ve never been there before but I know that at night I’ll be able to see all kinds of constellations And I’ll be able to show my friends all the cool stuff I know about them Here in Los Angeles the very best place to see constellations is at the Griffith Observatory using a telescope But out in the wilderness you can just look up at the sky While we’re camping I want to see as many stars as possible Which is why I can’t clean my room today I lost 10 OLIVE OH
my Handbook of Constellations and I need that for the camping trip Nothing is as important as looking for my handbook Definitely not cleaning my room Besides it’s really not that messy Most of my clothes are put away Except for a few T-shirts And some clothes from my closet but I had to move those to look for my book It took me all morning to pull them all out but the book wasn’t there Now I’m looking under my bed I see a few socks my red beret that Grandma knitted for me and my polka-dot overalls But no handbook Next I look under my blanket I spot a book with a blue cover so I grab it fast But when I look at it closely 11 OLIVE OH SAVES SATURDAY
