CHAPTER 12

Splashed across the front of The Rambletown Bulletin the next day was a picture of the snow mountain at school. While my mom and dad bustled in and out of the kitchen doing morning stuff, I sat down at the table with a bowl of Pirate Crunch cereal and looked at the paper. Gabby had gotten a really good shot. You could practically feel a cold wind whistling right off the page. Huddled together for warmth, the four blurry presidents glowered down from their icy heights.

“Check it out, Mr. Bones,” I said. “How’d you like to snowboard down that?”

At the mention of snowboarding, he scampered into the mudroom and stood under the hook with his ugly coat hanging on it. His tail wagged like a metronome set on high.

“Sorry, pal,” I said. “Not today. I’ve got school. Plus, this is one mountain we’re supposed to stay away from. Principal’s orders.”

I turned back to the picture.

The caption said:

A mountain has arisen overnight in Rambletown. It’s so big, it makes Alaska look small. Not to mention warm. Scientists are puzzled as to how the likenesses of four American presidents came to appear on the steep flank of our town’s newest landmark.
