The Secret Of The Skeleton Key (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Through the charred shell she could see that the fire had almost gutted the inside. A few firefighters still combed the area for smoldering ashes, and the air reeked of acrid smoke. Even the weedy yard had burned, leaving Skeleton Man’s strange metal sculptures of trees and cats eerily discolored. Cody had a sudden thought: Where was Punkin? With the chaos of the fire, she’d forgotten all about the orange cat. She glanced over at Skeleton Man’s singed yard for a sign of movement. The old man had more than a dozen cats—she’d actually counted them. Where were they now? And where was Punkin? What could have happened to him? She checked her watch: 7:25 a.m. No time to search before school. M.E.—MariaElena, another member of the Code Busters Club—would be along any minute. Cody yawned. She’d been up for nearly two hours and was starting to feel the lack of sleep. With only a few minutes left before M.E. arrived, she walked over to her secret hiding place in the towering ash tree—the one Quinn had climbed the night before.
