CHAPTER 17

HIGH-TENSION

I’m not really all that good at magic,” Preffy admitted a little later. It was ten minutes until I was due to start my cashier shift at the farm stand. We had left the office before anyone could walk in on us, and the three of us were hanging out at the Invisible Goat corral. Modesty still had the carrot-and-parsnip crown on her head. Occasionally, she gave a regal wave to passing motorists.

“In fact, I’m terrible at it,” Pre continued. “Half my spells are misfires. It’s a matter of concentration. I’m usually thinking of something else. For instance, only yesterday, I was levitating a bunch of books back into the celebrity biography section, but I was also working on an invention of mine: a glass jar with a piece of rubber stretched across the top and a straw glued over the center of the rubber but sticking out past the edge of the jar—I think the straw might move when bad weather is approaching, but I haven’t tested it yet.”

“The books wound up on the wrong shelf?” I guessed.

“The books flew out the window.”

Pre leaned over the corral’s fence, stretched out a hand, and made the squeaky noise with his lips that many people mistakenly think will attract animals.

“I don’t believe there are any goats in here,” he said after a moment.

“There aren’t,” Modesty confirmed.

“But the sign—”

“Yeah, the sign,” I said, gesturing to the fence post next to us.
