Read an Excerpt

From WHATEVER AFTER #3: SINK OR SWIMI definitely see a beach. An empty beach. No tourists, no sandcastles, no bright-colored beach towels. Just pure white sand sparkling in the mid-day sun. Ocean as far as the eye can see. In the distance there's a blob moving toward us. I squint toward the water. I see a head! A guy's head. Behind the guy's head another head keeps bobbing in and out of the water. A girl's head! At least I think it's a girl's head. I can see long hair. Hard to tell when it's soaking wet. They're getting closer . . . and closer . . . and . . . yup, it's a girl! And then behind her is something green. A towel? A floatie? It's shiny, and triangle-shaped and kind of reminds me of the paper fan I had as a kid. Oh! It's a tail!The girl has a tail!Which can only mean one thing.
