“You mean you were actually IN the calendar?” Jade put down her cup of tea on the island and stared at her. “But that’s not possible!” “That’s what I thought,” Molly agreed.

“Good morning, Molly!” “Good morning, Gideon!” Molly said, smiling down at him. “You’re here bright and early!” “Mom said she had stuff to do,” he said seriously. “And I said I’d be happy to sit with Schrodinger and read while we waited for the others.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry, guys!” Kaylee was nearly running down the hall of Daughter of Stars Elementary School, rushing to get to the gymnasium. “Why are we hurrying?” Gideon asked, as he ran beside her. Behind them were Lily and Zoey. “Because Molly said she’d bring the calendar and I don’t want anyone else to see …

When are they getting here? Schrodinger demanded, looking out the kitchen window again. “They just got out of school ten minutes ago,” Molly said, chuckling a little at his impatience. “Kiaya said they’d be here by 4 pm.
