Zip (2012)
“She didn’t have time to worry about what the message meant. As the playground rushed at her, she concentrated on steering her scooter toward the sandbox with every muscle in her body, every thought and wish.
But no matter how she twisted and turned in the air, she wasn’t headed for the sandbox—she was going straight for the twisty tornado slide. Her scooter’s front wheel clipped the top of the slide and she barreled down, riding the smooth metal as easily as a surfer rode a wave. A little girl ...on the slide let out a squeak and threw herself over its side as Lyssa came speeding toward her.
“Sorry,” Lyssa called over her shoulder. She shot out of the bottom of the slide and suddenly she was airborne again. She flew across the park, over the sandbox, and toward the sidewalk beyond it. Wind cut into her cheeks. She clenched her eyes shut, certain she was going to crash into the concrete—possibly face-first.
Lyssa grunted; the force of the impact shook her entire body. Zip’s front wheel squeaked as they both skidded to a stop.MoreLess
