 EXCERPT

 

 

On the drive home, Ginnie stared unseeing out the backseat window of Buzz’s truck. Trees flew by unnoticed on the country roads that led to their nine-generation old farm, “Heart of the Wests.” 

She stared past the knee-high cornstalks on her left and the neck-high alfalfa lining the right side of their lane, quickly creating and discarding several arguments to convince Dad to give the journals back. 

While Toran and Tillie plotted to retrieve a treasured amulet in Toran’s new computer game, Ginnie realized that simply talking to Dad wasn’t going to get her what she wanted after all. 

She needed action, so she formed a new plan. 

It didn’t take long to work out the details. Normally at least two of the five family vehicles were parked side-by-side in front of the two-story red-brick farmhouse they called home. Today only Miss Amanda’s silver-blue car and several pairs of dried, muddy ruts greeted them. 

That never happened. 

Her plan could succeed.
