I moved more slowly, slipping all over the place, until I fell flat on my bum. “Wait up! It’s not like she’s going to vanish if we don’t find her today.” “I see it, Ruby,” she said, waving. “It’s right here. Hurry!” I rolled over onto my knees and stood up, although it was hard to balance on the super-slippery sidewalk. When I finally caught up to her, Eleanor squealed and pointed at the back wall of a brick building where an old wooden sign was nailed to the corner. “Ap-pa-ri-tion Way,” I read out loud, then peered down the narrow road. “I wonder why we’ve never noticed it before?” Suddenly Eleanor scrambled up and over the mound of crusty snow. “Whoa! There’s no way I’m going down there,” I said. “It’s too deep.” “But Ruby, I see a door with a light up ahead. Come on—it’s not that far.” I took one step and immediately broke straight through the packed snow past my red boots to the middle of my orange leggings. Eleanor, on the other hand, scurried across the surface like a rabbit.
