Sample The Adventures of Cecilia Spark - the Brimstone Forest by Ngaire Elder
Excerpt from book 1 The Adventures of Cecilia Spark – the Brimstone Forest
Cecilia and Flurry had been sneaking round the garden for ages, but hadn’t managed to catch ANY creepy crawlies. She was starting to get hungry and, if truth be told, a little fed up.
She wandered over to her snuggery; the old shed at the bottom of the garden. She sat down, opened her backpack, took out the snack box and bottle, then tossed a dragon cookie to Flurry. He ate it greedily.
“Dragons,” she chuckled. “What if dragons were real, Flurry? We’d chase after them lightning quick, wouldn’t we?”
With that, she tossed the remains of her cookie into the creature catcher and started running round the garden, spinning around in circles. Flurry joined in, chasing Cecilia, jumping and barking.
Cecilia started to feel very, very dizzy. She flopped to the ground and Flurry came and lay beside her, panting wildly. She lay there gazing at the big, fluffy, white clouds floating in the sky. She could see different shapes in the clouds: a face with a long, pointy nose drifted past; the Loch Ness Monster glided through the sky, followed by a space ship, a canoe and a gigantic snail.
The cotton-ball clouds started moving faster, swirling and whirling. She shut her eyes to make them stop, but before you could say, ‘Don’t dilly-dally down daydream alley’ a witch had zoomed down on her jet-propelled broomobile.http://www.amazon.com/Ngaire-Elder/e/B006VXOUN8/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1
