air . There it was ; she could see it ! So Eliana stretched once more and finally she felt the smooth cover page touch her fingertips . She stretched and stretched and yanked at the book , but it wouldn ’ t move . It was caught on a branch . Eliana groaned and leapt to her feet .
“ What a perfect way to end the perfect day !” she snapped to herself as she marched to the other side of the bush . Eliana inched her way down the steep hill that the bushes were plopped on top of . The hill sloped down , down , down and was covered in dirt , surrounding the thin trees above her that looked as if they were planted at random .
