Harriet Bright In A Pickle (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
She knew that they are the biggest animals on land and that there are two types, African and Asian. Elephants can’t see very well and they all live together in groups called herds. This means that they can protect the young elephants from dangerous animals that might attack them. Like lions and tigers. And Paul Picklebottom. She could hear him breathing. He was only about twenty steps away. Harriet Bright closed her eyes. She imagined that she was in Africa. Her skin felt dry and cracked in the burning sun. She filled her trunk greedily with water from the muddy waterhole, squirting it into her mouth and hosing her hot body. Several hippos swam nearby. Large eyes bulged out of their heads and their heavy bodies disappeared into the murky water. The air with insects and all the smells of the animals mingled in the heat. But there was another smell too. Something that made the birds squawk and high into the air. Something that made the elephants and ROAR. It was the smell of danger, Harriet Bright could feel her trunk tingling.
