The Bare Bum Gang And The Valley Of Doom - Plot & Excerpts
I stayed in the box and closed my eyes and kept them shut until the bell sounded. I didn't want to see anything that was happening around me, because it would most likely be something terrible, and the chance of it being anything apart from terrible was maybe one in a million. It was actually quite pleasant, lying there on top of the soft beanbags as the playground sounds grew quiet, like the water slowly growing cold around you in the bath. Lying there meant I was going to be late back into class, but I decided I'd tell Miss Bridges that I'd fallen down and hurt myself and that was why I was late, which was nearly true. I'd just decided to get up when I heard some voices. Quiet voices. Not quiet because they were far away, but quiet because they were whispering. It's always extra interesting when people whisper. In fact whispering is the worst way of keeping a secret, because people always know you're saying something worth listening to. Especially if the whispers are angry whispers. I peeped over the top of the box The first thing I saw was Dockery's back.
