LOOK!” MOM SAID. Andy shoved a pair of old men’s shoes into a box labeled giveaway, then turned toward his mother. “These letters were way back inside that antique desk, like they were hiding!”
Andy wiped sweat off his forehead. When Mom had convinced him to help clear out his great-grandmother's attic, she’d made it sound like a treasure hunt. He’d expected to find something fantastic after the eight-hour car trip and the past week working in the hot attic where everything smelled like dead dust.
The worst part of the job was realizing Granny wanted to stay in this house where she’d lived her whole life. Whenever Mom mentioned Garden Glen, the assisted living facility near Andy’s family’s home, Granny’s mouth drooped. Since they’d arrived, she hardly smiled and hadn’t laughed—not once.
“Letters from Leo!” Mom said. As she handed the packet to Andy, she pointed to the penciled name on the top envelope. “Granny will be thrilled!”
“Leo?” Andy waved the letters to cool his face.
“Granny’s oldest and favorite brother. He made her wooden toys. He even made that special box that sits on the stairway windowsill—locked up tight.”
“Locked? Why?” Andy wished he’d paid closer attention to the family stories Mom had told him on the long drive.
“The key’s been lost for . . . forever.” Mom shrugged. “The mystery box will never be opened. Now about those letters . . .” Andy stopped fanning his face. Mom said, “Granny will want them at Garden Glen. Could you please carry that fistful of history downstairs and show her?”

Chopsticks
Shay can never hold her chopsticks properly. When she uses them, they crisscross and make an X, and sometimes she cannot quite pick up the slippery pieces of tofu. Her mother laughs.
Matthias and the Dragons
STRIDING QUICKLY ALONG, Matthias glanced uneasily at the black stone cliffs towering beside him. Ahead, a still lake swarmed with dark clouds of midges. Finally, he spied the faraway ocean. Now I know my way back, he thought. Iâd better hurry. Weâre leaving the inn this afternoon, and Father wonât be too pleased if Iâm late.
