Excerpts

One Beastly Beast
Two Aliens, Three Inventors, Four Fantastic Tales

Chapter One

"Take these videos back to the store, please," said Peter's mom. She took two DVDs out of her shopping bag and handed them to her son. "They have to be back by two o'clock or they cost extra."

"Okay," said Peter. Anything to get away from the boredom of following his mother around. "Which video store, Mom?"

"VideoPleaseMe," said his mom as she locked the car. "Right over there. Then come straight over to the supermarket."

"Yes, Mom," said Peter, rolling his eyes. Anyone would think he was still a little kid, not a fifth grader.

"And no, you can't have any money to rent games for your Xbox," added his mom as Peter opened his mouth.

"Yes, Mom," said Peter.

Peter trudged over to the store, pretending that he was slow-marching in a procession. He held the two DVDs out in front of him like some sort of ceremonial regalia. The sacred videos of the king, he thought, and laughed.

"Make way for the king's videos," he said in a mock-regal voice to no one in particular as he crossed the parking lot.

"King's videos!" said a voice that seemed to come from somewhere ahead of him and somehow down below.

Peter stopped pretending to be the king and looked around to see who was talking. But there was no one around. Just one lady getting into her car. The voice sounded low and gruff. It couldn't have come from her.

"Down here, matey!"

It was louder now. A deep and slightly nasty voice that made Peter think of running away. But he took a quick, deep breath instead . . . and looked down.
