Literature & Fiction

From the Author Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Just Me. Morley.I'm trudging all the way to the back of our yard, calling my sister's name, telling her come on, supper's ready. And getting soakers, because I forgot to put on my boots.Daisy doesn't answer.And now it's really starting to rain. I reach into my pockets. I find old used tissues. A folded piece of paper. A quarter. Pocket fuzz. That's all. My gloves aren't there. I'm getting wet. And cold. And hungry. "Daisy," I keep yelling. I'm all the way at the very back of our property now, where I know it isn't possible to see from where Mom's probably watching from the kitchen window. "Come on, where are you?"Then she giggles, and I look up.And there she is, up in the apple tree, sitting on the very edge of the little deck of the tree-house. "Fooled you, Morley!" she calls down to me. "Bet you didn't know I can get up here, but I can. Just like you!" "Come on down!" I yell, but all she says is, "Can't!"I look around for the rope ladder, but there's no sign of it."Come on," I holler. "Get the ladder and climb down! Mom says we have to come for supper right NOW!"Daisy just laughs and stands up, right at the edge, holding the rope ladder. It's broken, so now it's just one rope, with some sticks hanging off it. I don't know how that could've happened, but I don't stop to figure it out.I have no idea how she got up there. Right now, Daisy needs to get down.But how? There aren't any low branches on the apple tree, so there's no way to climb up to the treehouse without the ladder. Or a ladder.Then I remember that there's a ladder in the garage. It's made out of metal so it's too long and heavy for me to carry all this way, but I can balance it on the wheelbarrow and push it back here. Or get Mom to help."Sit down RIGHT NOW!" I shout up to Daisy. "STAY THERE. I'll get the ladder from the garage and get you down. But you have to WAIT till I go get it.""Don't want to!" she says, in her sing-song-y voice. "Silly old Morley. You're not the boss of me!"And she's standing up now, dancing around and trying to do a handstand on the little deck above me.Even though it's raining and that treehouse deck must be slippery.She's really starting to frighten me. Daisy is always what Danny calls, "a real little dare-devil." She isn't afraid of heights, or the dark, or monsters under the bed, or witches hiding in her closet, or getting a bad report card. Or anything. Daisy usually has band-aids on her knees, but she doesn't seem to care. With all her dare-devil stunts like trying to hold her breath underwater for longer than me, or ride her bicycle no hands, or do skateboard tricks, or when she jumped off the top bunk, so Mom made Danny take the bunk beds apart, she never gets hurt. Not really.Mom is always telling Daisy to just behave, missy, or she'll be sorry. Danny always just laughs and says Daisy is like him, easy-going and up for anything. She's got his Irish luck, he says. What he also says, that Daisy's more like him and I'm more like Mom, might be true."Look at me, Morley!" Daisy shouts now. "I'm a famous acrobat! Catch me, Morley. I'll do a trick and you have to catch me, just like Daddy does!"That's her thing, being an acrobat. It started after she saw some acrobats on America's Got Talent. Before that, she wanted to be a ski jumper in the Olympics, or an ice dancer and do all those spins and jumps and leaps and throws through the air.Or a race car driver, or an astronaut. Mom says she'll grow out of all that foolishness eventually. Her dad, Danny, thinks it's hilarious.He'd get her down. Or catch her. But he isn't here. I am. And I know this is crazy dangerous."No, Daisy. Don't. Please. Just wait. PLEASE. Sit down and stay still! I'll get you down, as soon as I go get the ladder! Just STAY there!""NO-oooooooooooooh" Daisy shrieks.As I turn to go back to the house, fetch the ladder, tell Mom, then hurry back here, working out in my head how fast I can possibly do all these things, I look ba

The whole world is getting into the Holiday spirit. Everyone, it seems, except for 11-year-old Sam Park. Stores play Christmas music. Neighbours hang up lights and gather in the town square for the lighting of the giant Christmas tree. At school, kids talk about what gifts they hope to get. Sam plays Christmas carols at Youth Orchestra concerts and at her school concert. She hears about presents under the tree and turkey with stuffing and all the trimmings, all the while wondering what's it really like to have a family Christmas. But as Sam's Korean mother points out, their family doesn't "do" Christmas. Or Hanukah, Easter or Eid. Or any of the other happy holidays that other people celebrate and enjoy. So, no, there will be no Christmas at Sam's home, this year or any year. They will avoid the Holidays, no matter how much Sam wishes this wasn't so. And nothing can change that. Or can it? When a winter storm means Sam is stranded at her best friend Morley's house, it looks like Sam might get her Christmas wish. Or will the storm, her mother and other 'surprises' ruin everything? Sam's Gift is about being a girl caught between two cultures and finding her own unique voice and the courage to use it, third in the Morley Stories Series of novels for modern girls age 10 to 13.
