The Island

The Island

           

            The best thing on a hot day like this is ice cream.  And lots of it.  Most kids are happy with that.  But not Keera.  She liked staying indoors.  She wasn’t anybody’s friend.  Not even her sister’s.  She liked studying.  Other kids didn’t.  She liked school.  Other kids didn’t.  She liked spinach, jam, and mayonnaise on a sandwich.  Other kids wondered what was wrong with her.  But there was one thing she loved just like any other kid.  Adventure.  She dreamed of islands with green trees and berries everywhere.  Mountains and rivers!
