Buggy Adventures
Ten-year old twins, Noah and Allie, are at summer camp, when the most unexpected and unbelievable thing happens. Now they are on the biggest adventure they have ever encountered. Well, perhaps it’s more bug-sized.Can Allie and Noah make it back to their home? Or will they be trapped . . . forever.SampleChapter OneA Typical DayOh no. Ms. Brindle was looking straight at him. Noah slumped in his seat. She opened her mouth, and Noah slid down in his seat as far as he could without falling.
“Allie? What is a common creature often mistaken for an insect?” asked Ms. Brindle, calling on Noah’s twin sister, Allie. Noah breathed a long sigh of relief. That was a close call.
Noah Jameson was a ten-year-old boy with jet black hair, hazel colored eyes, and light brown skin.
“The spider, Ms. Brindle,” replied Allie. Allie looked just like Noah, with a clip tucked neatly in her long bouncy hair. Ms. Brindle was beaming at her.
“Very good, Allie,” said Ms. Brindle, with a smile on her face.
Ms. Brindle had a tight bun, round glasses, and two-inch black high heels.
Riiing! The bell went off to signal it was time to go back to their cabins.
“Camp dismissed! Don’t forget about the quiz in second class tomorrow!” said Ms. Brindle promptly.
Noah didn’t have to be told twice. He got up and zipped out of the room.
Allie, on the other hand, wasn’t too eager to leave. It was just so interesting! She started heading to her cabin which she shared with her brother, Noah.
On the way, she tripped over a stick and dropped her book about insects, and it flipped open. Allie hurriedly picked it up and closed it, barely noticing the small yellow smudge on the page.
Meanwhile, at the cabin, Noah was staring at the gray ceiling. Two weeks ago, he had been excited when the mail came from school. But Camp Kaper was just a trap from the school for ‘educational fun.’ It was like school. Some activities were okay, like assembling a fake skeleton of a bug, but most of it was a total bore. He couldn’t wait until tomorrow, so he could go home.
Allie wouldn’t agree with me, Noah thought. Allie likes school ok, but she loves nature, just like Camp Kaper. I bet she’s enjoying this.
Allie burst in, also bursting in his thoughts.
“Have you studied for tomorrow’s quiz?” she asked.
“I’ll just copy off you,” he snorted.
Allie made a mental note to protect her quiz. She started reading her insect book.
“Lights out!”
Just in a few moments, a camp counselor came in and turned out the lights for the day. Allie clapped shut her textbook and went to sleep, and even though she had studied for the quiz, she was completely unprepared for what tomorrow held.
The next day, Allie woke at the second the clock turned to eight. She quickly got ready and walked out the door for first class at 8:10.
About five minutes later, Noah was just waking up.
“Ugh,” he groaned.
As he was about to go back to sleep, the corner of his eye caught the time on the clock. It was 8:05.
Noah’s eyes bugged out. He started frantically digging for clothes. Then he grabbed his bag and ran out the door at top speed, not bothering to brush his hair.
“You’re late,” were Ms. Brindle’s words at Noah’s arrival.
