It’s #BookQW and will ‘candy’ bribe a badger? More from Chapter 16: This was crazy. Clearly, the badger didn’t want her cutting across the meadow. If he didn’t leap at her after that wild dance, he probably wasn’t going to. “Well, how am I supposed to get up there, then?” She jerked a thumb toward […]
It’s #BookQW and will Fern be caught in a ‘dreaded’ lie? More from Chapter 1: “I’m happy you’re spending time with friends,” Mom said, and guilt stabbed Fern. She bent and hugged her mom so she didn’t have to say anything. Mom had allowed her to skip helping at their booth for the weekend because […]
It’s #BookQW and Ty will ‘rise’ to help with a whale rescue! More from the whale rescue in Chapter 28: Ty might not have trained for saving whales or have the skills this Oyster fellow did, but watching had given him an idea. Would it help if I magically hold the kayak? Aye, Piper called. […]
It’s #BookQW and the ‘charge’ isn’t Coral’s problem. More from Chapter 1: “Nay,” Coral said quickly, just as Pearl called, “Point taken for harassing your opponent.” Coral threw her a grateful glance. Spike shouldn’t even consider that a possibility—she didn’t. What trick was he up to here? “That’s right.” Lemon flew up behind Spike. “Penalty. […]
It’s #BookQW and Salm must act ‘quick’ to avoid trouble–for the future! More from Chapter 1: Salm landed next to the covered lobster crate before either sister could block him. “Aye, I suppose. We’re busy this time of year and need the catch numbers to make a decision,” he said politely, not daring to look […]
It’s #BookQW and no one ‘misses’ Luna. More from Chapter 4: Strolling onto the beach below the looming headland, Luna loosened her silver energy. It swirled over her back and formed white-feathered wings nearly her height. Spreading them, she checked the breeze off the water to prepare for flight. A burst of conversation sounded on […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘hang’ it, I don’t use #hang, and Beri & Raven are decorating a tree! Can you find where I might have used #hang? More from the short story: Beri had noticed Willow was wearing the wooden bracelets Raven had carved of three different colors of wood. They’d gotten the idea when they’d […]
It’s #BookQW and does Fern ‘flatly’ accept magic? More from Chapter 1: It looked ordinary enough, but their bathroom held a secret. That secret allowed Fern to keep two promises this weekend—to Mom that she’d be safe at home and to Gran that she’d be there for their inspection. Pulling out the pouch, Fern removed […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern in not ‘early’ to meet Gran. Could Hilda have a message? More from Chapter 2: Fern closed her hand over the teardrop. She put the glass into her pouch, calling out, “Gran?” No answer. Strange. Fern glanced into the open bedrooms along the hall and strode to the main room at […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern must ‘attempt’ her heart’s dream! More from Chapter 27: (I’ve cut out any spoilers!) Few others had hair like theirs, and none as straight or long—falling to their waists—as their black strands. Fern’s was now done up in more than a dozen braids, and Merlin’s blew free in an undulating plume, […]
