Enjoy an Excerpt:
The earth quivered. Then, like a lightning bolt, a crack
shot up through the ground. Rocks and dirt crashed down, pelting their heads
and shoulders. Sam grabbed Joey’s arm and Roger’s shirt and scrambled from
inside the cave, pushing them ahead.
Outside, they landed in a heap. When the earth settled into
place, they rolled onto their backs, sucking air and panting.
“Okay, that’s it,” Roger said. “This is one mean mountain.
And it’s trying to squash all of us. I’m going home.”
“You get no argument here,” Sam said. “I’ll get our gear.”
He edged toward the cave and grabbed Joey’s backpack. Roger’s backpack straps
stuck up from the pile of rocks, but Sam couldn’t find his at all. He switched
on Joey’s flashlight and aimed the beam at the heap of rocks and dirt.
Inside, where a solid wall once stood, was a hole, and
behind that hole was another cave. “What the ... ?” He blinked, and then looked
again. “Hey! You guys got to see this!”
“No way am I going near that cave,” Roger said, and he
backed away.
Sam poked his head inside to get a better look. He swung his
leg over a boulder. “Wait here, then,” he said, glancing back.
Joey jumped up. “Don’t even think you’re going in there
without me. I’m coming. And so’s Roger.”
“I don’t—” Roger didn’t have a chance to dodge away from
Joey’s grasp.
“Move it.” Joey pushed Roger ahead of him. Roger was bigger
in all directions, but Joey had the attitude that let him get his way. It also
landed him in major trouble almost all the time.
