HERE’S A SNEAK PEEK!
Logan Pryce paused on the wooded path and picked up a spindly branch.
Logan’s brother, Drew, turned around. “What do you need a stick for, anyway?”
“It’s for my new fix-it project,” replied Logan.
“What are you fixing up?”
“It’s a highly guarded secret. All shall be revealed soon!”
Drew rolled his eyes. Being a big brother, he rolled his eyes a lot.
Logan’s new fix-it project was a sled! But he didn’t want Drew to know, because it was going to be a surprise for the whole family. Logan had found the broken old sled in the barn, and he had been tinkering with it in his Fix-It Shop. He needed some parts, like a few sturdy branches and a length of strong rope.
They continued down the path. A chill had settled in the air. Logan could feel it even through his wool cap, peacoat, and knickers.
Drew paused in front of a huge fallen tree. “This is a rock elm. These make for mighty good firewood. I wish I’d brought an ax,” said Drew. Keeping the wood box full was one of his regular chores.
Logan glanced over his shoulder. Behind them on the path, he could see the sun setting in the sky. “We should go,” he told Drew.
Drew crouched down to inspect the fallen tree. “What are you afraid of, Logan? Getting lost in the dark, scary forest?” he joked.
