As the leaves turned yellow and orange and fell from the trees, the kids at school tired of talking about Elly Rose. It had been three months. To them, that made it practically prehistoric.

“But what about the woods?” Stuey asked.

“Nobody goes there,” Alicia said.

“You’re weird. It’s all buggy. Besides, you could get kidnapped.”

“But what about all the animals that live there?”
