Tally looked over to the playground, where the kindergarteners were having recess. Mrs. Norrell had guessed that someone had brought Tally inside the school building. The teacher was wrong, of course—but maybe the kindergarteners could be useful now. Tally could crawl to the blacktop and try to look irresistible. One of the kids might pocket her and take her to their classroom for show and tell. Kindergarten, first, and second grades were all on the ground floor. Tally could slip away to her own classroom and find Clementine.

It was as good a plan as any.

Okay, so how . . .

Tally yawned.

How should she . . .

She shifted positions, seeking a more comfortable place to plant her feet. The movement felt like crawling through maple syrup. Her tiny body felt heavy and sluggish. Her tiny brain felt foggy and sleepy.

She realized she was kind of cold. But the sun was warm on her shell. The surface of the rock was warm beneath her. It was like being wrapped in a heated blanket.

Tally stretched out her neck as far as it would go, pointing her beak at the sky, and closed her eyes. She knew there was something she was supposed to be thinking about. She could probably think about it later.

For now, all she wanted to do was bask in the beautiful sunshine on this beautiful rock, with the beautiful breeze brushing lightly across her beautiful green-and-brown skin. For the first time since her family’s big move a week ago, Tally felt a sense of belonging. Everything in her world felt . . . right.
