Chapter 10

AFTER SCHOOL, THE COLD splashy rain soaks into my teddy-bear parka as usual.

I follow Isabelle dashing across the schoolyard to the tree to check how we could decorate it. Under its sheltering branches, we peer out at the big white APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT sign.

I grit my teeth and pull my parka tighter. I wish I had a spray can so I could blot out that embarrassing name: Berny S. Leclare, contractor-builder.

“Don’t worry, old tree,” I mutter silently, patting its rough bark. “We’ll save you yet.”

Mojo ducks into the dry shelter under the branches too. He stares out at the rain pounding the remaining piles of debris that used to be a house. “Dismal,” he says.

“Yep,” Isabelle says. “But we haven’t given up on saving the tree yet.”

Mojo grabs the rope and swings back and forth.

“Achoo!” Isabelle sneezes. She rifles through her pockets. “Drat! No tissue.”
