CHAPTER

A Warning

“We didn’t bring any costumes with us,” Violet said the next morning, looking sadly at the clothes in her suitcase. It was the day of the town fair, and she wanted to wear something special.

“Maybe we can make our costumes,” said Jessie.

“Let’s see if Verónica has any old clothes,” said Henry.

Verónica and Maru were in the kitchen with Grandfather, finishing their coffee.

“Look up in the attic,” said Verónica. “I do have some old costumes and clothes stored. I’m sure you can cobble something together.”

“I’m sure they will,” said Grandfather. “Thank you, Verónica.”

“I wish I could come with you all, but I’ve got to be at the Skeleton Key,” said Maru.

“We hope things go better today,” said Henry.

“I do too,” said Maru. “Please apologize to Nick when you see him. I will miss his band’s performance at the town fair.”

“We will,” said Jessie. “Good luck!”

The children headed up to the attic to search for costumes. Henry found a pirate costume that fit. Jessie found a stethoscope and hung it around her neck. She put on a white jacket.

“Just call me Doctor Alden,” she said, smiling.

Violet found a purple butterfly costume.

“There’s nothing here that fits me,” said Benny.

“We’ll make you something,” said Jessie. “What would you like to be?”

“That’s okay,” said Benny. “I just got an idea. You’ll see my costume later!”
