Chapter 1
Pitter-pat, pitter-pat. Rain fell down at a steady pace. I let the events of today run wildly through my mind:
Ricky Berlon was a normal average boy. He enjoyed normal things that all 12 year old boys like. He had just moved to Shelersville last week. His Father was in the military so, they moved around a lot. His Father had just been honorably discharged and had promised that they would settle down. Ricky was glad. Because of all the moving around he had never been able to meet friends. Here almost immediately he met two people who he considered friends. George and Alan Holly where the coolest kids in Shelersville. They had a club for Studying & Playing but to get in they had to pass an initiation test to be deemed cool enough to be friends. It was different for everyone. Usually it was challenge Ricky had asked them and they had said they would think about it. Meanwhile, in the Holly Household George and Alan where thinking. "You know that old lady who says she's a witch?" "The crazy lady who lives on 1435 Simmons Street?" "Yeah. You know I saw a new Garden Nome on her lawn." "Well I guess we do need a present for mom's birthday." Alan said looking at George mischievously. "Who needs to be initiated?" He said grinning. "Ricky Berlon." The next day at Shelersville Elementary School George and Alan met up with Ricky and told him his challenge. "To prove your cool enough to join our club you're going to have to prove that you're cunning, you have to take a Garden Nome from the garden of 1435 Simmons Street. "Fine".
