Bailey And The Santa Fe Secret (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Nine-year-old Bailey Chang jumped at the snort she heard behind her and twirled around. Elizabeth Anderson, her fourteen-year-old friend from Amarillo, Texas, grabbed her hand. Sweat beaded on her pale forehead. “I don’t know.” They inched toward a clump of dried bushes in the New Mexico desert. The pungent odor of livestock grew stronger as they approached the bushes. The hot August sun beat down on their sleeveless arms and necks, and a trickle of sweat rolled down Bailey’s back. “Smells like my grandma’s farm!” Elizabeth held her nose. Bailey covered her nose and mouth with her hand. “ Maybe even worse than a farm.” She saw the brown bush move. “Something’s in there.” Her slight frame trembled like a bowl of jelly. Suddenly, with a squeal and a grunt, a bristly gray javelina charged stiff-legged at them from behind the bushand ran across the landscape. The girls screamed and bolted in the opposite direction, just as terrified as the wild pig. They didn’t stop running until they got to Halona Tse’s home, nearly a half-mile away.
