Grant started air drumming. He waved<br />
his hands wildly in <strong>the</strong> air. “Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat,<br />
ka-ching!” he exclaimed, as he smashed <strong>the</strong><br />
pretend cymbal.<br />
Mimi was already busy at work, making<br />
notes, and cooking up her next mystifying plot.<br />
She pushed her gem-studded reading glasses<br />
up into her bl<strong>on</strong>de hair.<br />
Christina kept trying to picture an<br />
island <strong>on</strong> a lake, but all she kept seeing in her<br />
mind were tiny patches of land that <strong>on</strong>e pers<strong>on</strong><br />
could barely stand <strong>on</strong>. It didn’t seem quite<br />
right that <strong>the</strong>re could be islands <strong>on</strong> a lake.<br />
Christina had visited many different islands<br />
with Mimi and Papa <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir o<strong>the</strong>r trips, but<br />
those islands were in <strong>the</strong> ocean, not a lake!<br />
Grant kept thinking about <strong>the</strong><br />
mysterious text message <strong>on</strong> Christina’s ph<strong>on</strong>e.<br />
He started worrying that some m<strong>on</strong>ster in <strong>the</strong><br />
lake would eat <strong>the</strong>m—and <strong>the</strong> boat!<br />
As Papa drove around a bend in <strong>the</strong><br />
road, <strong>the</strong>y all caught <strong>the</strong>ir first glimpse of Lake<br />
Erie. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> enormous expanse of water<br />
shimmered in <strong>the</strong> late afterno<strong>on</strong> sunlight.<br />
