Chapter 1
TOWN FAIR
I see the top of the Ferris wheel!
I cried. I pointed out the car window. We’re almost to the fair!
Mom was driving. Daddy turned around from the front seat and tickled my baby brother, who was in his car seat next to me. Hey, Val,
Daddy said. I bet you can’t wait to show Wallace all your favorite things at the fair.
Wallace moved in next door a few weeks ago. He was supposed to meet me by the petting zoo.
Daddy, this won’t be all fun and games,
I said. Wallace and I still have lots of work to do on our TV script. And the deadline is Monday—that’s the day after tomorrow!
Wallace loved the show Comet Jumpers. The show was having a contest for people to send in ideas for future episodes. Wallace and I were doing better than that. We were writing a whole script!
Mom chuckled. So today will be more of a working playdate, huh?
Exactly.
I looked out the window again. Hey, Mom, you just passed the parking lot!
Mom is judging the gardening exhibits, remember?
Daddy said. We get to park in the VIP lot!
Cool,
I said. Mom is a botanist. That’s a scientist who works with plants. She knows everything about vegetables and flowers.
After we parked, Daddy picked up the Baby. I picked up my backpack. It was heavy because my favorite book, The Universe, was in there.
Mom waved and hurried off toward the gardening tent. I’ll walk you to the petting zoo and make sure you find Wallace,
Daddy told me. The Baby will want to pet the pigs.
The Baby gurgled. He doesn’t understand many words yet, but he knows the word pig! He also knows the word rocket, since I taught it to him.
The fair was bursting with people, music, animals, bright colors, and interesting smells. Daddy waved to some neighbors as we headed toward the petting zoo. We were almost there when someone called my name. It was Principal Bosko.
Hello, Val,
she said with a smile. Are you looking forward to school starting on Monday?
Of course,
I said. Especially science class.
Principal Bosko started chatting with Daddy. Just then I spotted Wallace. He was leaning over the fence petting a baby goat.
There’s Wallace,
I told Daddy.
Okay, have fun, and you kids stick together,
Daddy said. We’ll meet back here at three o’clock.
Wallace was standing with a kid I didn’t know. That was a surprise. I thought I knew everyone
