The Amazing Flight of Darius Frobisher (2006)
“Darius said. He forced his lips up into a weak smile. His stomach flipped over and over like a ride at an amusement park. “What are you doing up so early?” he asked as innocently as he could.
“Where have you been?” she demanded.
“Um, just out. Out for a ride,” Darius answered, immediately regretting his choice of words. Aunt Inga was upset, but she hadn’t noticed the bicycle yet.
Now she did.
“Where did you get that bicycle?” she asked.
“This one?” asked Darius.
“No, the bicycle in the tree. Ye...s, of course I mean that one!” Aunt Inga peered at the shiny frame and the new wheels. “Hmmm,” she said. “It looks familiar.”
“Um, yeah,” mumbled Darius.
“Where did you get it?”
Right now you are probably hoping that Darius will say, “I found it in the street!”
Or, “I bought it with my inheritance.”
Or, “TAKE A GUESS! THERE’S A PRIZE IF YOU GUESS RIGHT!”
But he didn’t. Darius was too flustered to tell a lie or make a joke.
