CHAPTER 6

Jailbirds

The girls forgot all about their books with the big words. Their problem was a small one. If Tim couldn’t pay for the ruined book, he might be locked up! A Pee Wee Scout in jail! At least Molly and Mary Beth couldn’t be locked up for not knowing the big words.

Instead of going to the library on Tuesdays, would Troop 23 be going to visit Tim in jail? Would they be baking cookies and cakes to take to him? Maybe Mrs. Peters would have meetings in jail, instead of in her basement.

“Come with us,” said Mary Beth to Tim. “Let’s go to my house and think about how to save you.”

The girls took their books in and returned them. Molly checked out some others that did not look very exciting but did have words that she could read. On the way back to the Kellys’, she dropped them off at her house. She put the books on the hall floor and called to her mom that she was going to Mary Beth’s again.

Tim was crying all the way, and tears rolled down his cheeks and onto the sidewalk. “I don’t want to go to jail!” he said.

“It’s your first offense,” said Molly. “It might be like not wearing your seat belt. You’ll just get a warning.”

Mary Beth shook her head. “The book is ruined,” she said. “And it’s city property.”
