Epilogue
Chapter One
Look out below!
Cricket jumped back into the house as a giant slab of snow slid off the roof. Wump! It landed in a heap, blocking the sidewalk.
She poked her head out the front door. Good one, Tyler!
she yelled. Now how am I supposed to get to school?
Tyler laughed, and she slammed the door, sending another hunk of snow crashing to the ground. Cricket’s older brother was twelve, and it was his job to climb up on the roof to shovel off the heavy snow.
She opened the back door quietly, then dashed down the steps into the yard. Nearly three feet of snow had fallen in the past week, and the little village of Waterton was hiding under a heavy white blanket. Everything was soft and round and quiet. She followed the path her dad had made with the plow on the front of his truck. Warden McKay was a park warden in Waterton Lakes National Park, and part of his job was making sure the roads were safe in the winter.
Hey, Cricket! C’mon!
Cricket’s best friend, Shilo, was waiting on the corner. If we’re late, Mr. Tanaka will make us sort the recycling again.
Cricket wrinkled her nose. Ew!
I know,
Shilo said. That’s almost worse than scraping the bat poop out of our shed.
No, not that.
Cricket covered her nose with her mitten as they walked. Don’t you smell something? It’s getting stronger.
Shilo sniffed the air. Must be a skunk. C’mon, let’s go.
Wait, Shilo. Look!
Cricket pointed to a bush in the corner of the school field. Somebody piled a bunch of snow under that bush.
Some kids probably made a fort.
I don’t think so. See all the scratch marks in the snow? And the branches and dead leaves? Somebody tried to hide something under there—something smelly.
Shilo frowned and pulled her scarf up over her nose.
I think somebody hid their dinner under that bush.
Cricket looked up at the ravens in the trees above them. We shouldn’t be this close.
Do you think it was a bear? Or a wolf?
Shilo looked around nervously.
Cricket shook her head.
