Freaks Out! (2012)
“We watched like hawks all the rest of the week, but nobody got clonked. Nothing, as far as we could see, happened to anybody, though Jem did turn up for school one morning bubbling over with excitement and obviously bursting to tell me something. She made it clear she couldn’t do it while Skye was there, cos she kept pointing at Skye behind her back and pulling faces. If Skye hadn’t peeled off at the school gates to go and talk to one of the teachers, I really think Jem would have exploded. Her... face had gone bright scarlet with the effort of not saying anything.
“Guess what?” she squeaked, before Skye was even properly out of earshot. “Guess what happened?”
I said, “Tell me, tell me!”
“Huge hairy monsters!” Jem announced it in a trumpet-blast of triumph. Heads swung round to look at us.
I said, “Where?”
“In the kitchen,” whispered Jem. “All across the floor!”
Wow! Our first bit of evidence. I stared at her in awe. Skye must have stuck the huge hairy monsters horoscope to the star sign that belonged to Jem’s mum.MoreLess
