I've started reading a new book about the Revolutionary War. It is called "George Washington's Socks" by Elvira Woodruff.
Chapter One:
Main characters:
Matt, President of the Adventure Club.
Tony, who is small and his grandpapa witnessed a couple of disappearances
Hooter, he's a really big strong guy with a soft heart. He once found a injured owl, took it home, put it in a box to help it heal and 'hooted' to it all day.
Q, the brain of the Club, he is really smart.
Katie, Matt's little sister, who they are babysitting just for this night.
They are camping in Tony's backyard. Every ten minutes, Tony's parents come to check on them before they go to bed.
Chapter Two:
They get different jobs in the Club. Hooter is strength of the club, Q is the brain, Tony is the scout, Matt is the President, and Katie is will tag along. Katie did take a water gun and squirted Hooter right in the nose!
Chapter Three:
Once Tony's parents go to bed, the 5 kids go for a hike. They start going down to the lake; it's really, really, really dark down there. Hooter is sure the place is crawling with snakes. Q isn't as afraid of snakes as he is of spiders. He keeps getting afraid that he'll walk into a spider web. Katie says at the end of the chapter, "It sure is dark in here." (in the woods).
Chapter Four:
Tony keeps telling them really odd things about that lake. There was an enchanted row boat right there - his grandfather has seen people vanish from that boat. Tony's grandpa's friend got kind of sucked under the trance of the boat, rowed far out into the lake and then just... vanished. Some of the people did come back, but they were never the same. They were kind of crazy - they had fantastic stories to tell and would sit by the lake for hours just staring as if they were crazy or something. And there was also something odd about the moon every time the rowboat appeared. It was always in the 3/4 moon.
