Bella And The Wandering House (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
The house had settled on a grassy oval next to a sports centre. Outside, people ran up and down, doing exercises and lifting weights; others swam laps in a pool. Whistles blew and timers buzzed. The sharp smell of chlorine drifted in on the breeze. The day after that, they were in another park. A fountain bubbled in a nearby pond; fat orange fish flashed back and forth, rippling the surface. Every day, Bella woke up to strangeness, and every day it seemed to get bigger and bigger. One morning, they were on a sandbar in the middle of the river. Seagulls squawked outside her window, swooping past her circle of sky to skim low across the water. Early morning kayakers paddled past in the mist and fishermen cast lines from a jetty on the far shore. They had to stay home that day. There was water all around them and no way across it. The house must have waded here like a stork, Bella thought. Until it decided to go back, there was nothing they could do. Even worse, they couldn’t call to let people know where they were.
