The Adventures of Fern Book 3: Fern is Fairynapped
I have been taught to do If you are captured or seen by humans act like the opossum do not move pretend you are not a living being until you can make your escape Escape Impossible right now Not only am I being held tightly by this human we are with three other humans inside a hot noisy car I found something too says the smallest of the humans No one cares what you found poo-face MABEL ANGELICA Do not talk to your brother like that Sorry Mom You need to say sorry to your brother Sorry Robbie I wonder if she means it She has a mean
look on her face and she pokes her tongue out at Robbie when her mom’s not looking I wish we didn’t have to go back to school tomorrow she whines It’s only for a few days Then we will drive back to the campground this Friday IF you are both good until then says the mom I want to know what or who Robbie found Was it Terron Maybe it was one of the elves who had shared the marshmallow I need to find out My escape may depend on it
Chapter Two Human World The car ride feels hot and long Mabel and Robbie are asleep Mabel’s arm has flopped to her side and her fingers are not gripping me anymore I manage to slide out At last I can breathe properly I gently shake and flap my wings They seem okay nothing is broken I glance around and make sure no one notices as I climb up to look out of the car window I gasp Human world is not like my world in the forest Human world is loud So many noisy cars hurtling around Where are their trees I don’t see any
