CHAPTER 9

GRUMPLETS

I popped up just in time to see wide-eyed grumplets leaping backward and running off to the forest. As they turned to run, the airy, sparkly strings they’d been pulling on snapped and vanished. The grumplets were small, but they were FAST. There was no way Sassafras and I could catch up with them.

I sighed and brushed off my pants. My hand bumped the footprint mold in my pocket.

“Oh! We can at least see if their footprints are a match. Help me find some tracks, Sass!”

We hunted through the grass in opposite directions.

“Meow!”

Sure enough, my cat had found a patch of mud with some footprints in it. I held up the mold. It was an exact match.

I ruffled Sassafras’s fur. “Great work!”

We turned back toward the clearing, but all the monsters were still fighting. So Sassafras and I trudged toward home. I hoped we could get to the bottom of this whole grumplet thing. If not, the summer was going to be LONG and frustrating, filled with grumpy, fighting magical friends! That would be such a bummer since the weather was so perfect for playing outside.

Back at home, I popped my Thinking Goggles on my head. “There must be some way to get the grumplets to leave.”

I plopped down at the kitchen table. “OK. Let’s write down what we know so far.”
