FridayAll the buzz at school has been about this bigtrip to Hardscrabble Farms that’s coming upnext month.When you get to my grade, the whole class goes ona weeklong trip to this place where you sleep in logcabins and learn about nature and hard work.I’m sure it’s a blast if you’re into that sort ofthing, but I’ve already decided I’m gonna bethe one kid who stays BACK when everybodyelse heads off on the trip.45
And while the REST of my classmates are sweatingit out in the woods, I’ll be in the school libraryenjoying all the comforts of the modern world.Mom’s been trying to get me to change my mindbecause she thinks I’ll regret not going.I really doubt that’s gonna happen, though. I’veheard horror stories from kids who went away toHardscrabble Farms, and I remember the lettersRodrick sent home when HE went there.46
