Read an Excerpt

I squinched my eye up to the knothole in the fence. She was real skinny and tall like me. Her long legs seemed to start at the ground and end at her ears.

Next thing I knew, a brown eye was looking back at me through the hole.

"Do you like to run?" I asked.

"Run? Girl, I don't run, I fly. Can't nobody beat me."

"Bet I could."

I heard a whoop of laughter from the other side of the fence. "Dream on, girl."

Then the eyeball looked me up and down. "Got some long legs on you, but I'd still beat you."

"Would not," I said.

"Would too," she said.
