she told them. (Ironic, a word she no longer used at school, had long been a favorite at home.) “I was so excited when I heard that he was coming—that Arnold Axminster was actually coming to Morrison Middle School in person. You know how many of his books I’ve read, and when I found out I was going to get to see him in person, I was really thrilled. And then he goes and ruins my life. Don’t you think that’s ironic?” “Yes,” everybody said. “Yes, yes. Ironic. But what happened? What exactly happened, Libby?” They were all listening carefully now. All four of them had pushed aside their plates and were leaning forward across the table. Libby considered for a moment. How much could she tell without including the part that would give everything away? Tucking her hair behind her ears with both hands, she took a deep breath and began. “It all happened because of the Literary Festival. I didn’t tell you about the Literary Festival because—well, just because. But anyway, that was why Arnold Axminster was asked to come to the school.”
