The Feathers

Sumaya lay on the table while the seven of us stood in a circle around her with just the tips of our fingers under her. We chanted "light as feather, firm as a rock" and waited for her to soar up. Then we all screamed out, because Megan didn't just rise up she...

turned into a feather, a very hard feather. We did not read the fine print on the bottom of the paper, which told us how to make people float. It said that if the person turns into feather, go to the back of the book. All of a sudden, we heard a knock on the door. It was Nick, Megan's dad.

"What are we going to do?" we all whispered.
