Bugs on Guam? You betcha!






Here's an excerpt from our book,
Guam Adventures - Mystery of the Cave.
Cover your head!

WHAT A DAY!

“JoEllyn! Susan!’ Mrs. Wilks called. “I need you girls to help me for a few minutes.”
The girls were on the lanai playing Crazy Eights and planning their next trip to the jungle.
“Be there in a minute,” Jo called back.
“I don’t need you in a minute, I need you right now!”
“Yes Ma’am!” The girls chimed in unison, reluctantly setting their cards down.
They went into the kitchen where their mother was putting wet laundry in a basket. “I want you to hang these clothes out on the line for me while I start another load.”
Mrs. Wilks handed Jo the laundry basket and told Susan to get the clothes pins out of the hot box.
Jo, basket in hand, opened the back door just as Susan let out a blood-curdling scream.
“EEEEEE! MOMMY, MOMMY!” Susan screeched and ran out of the hot box right into Jo causing her to drop the basket.
“What in the world?!” Mrs. Wilks replied in alarm.
“There’s a GIGANTIC bug in there!” Susan cried, pointing at the hot box. “It’s enormous! It’s coming after me!”
“Oh my goodness! Such a fuss. We warned you girls about the bugs here. Most of them won’t hurt you. Show me where it is,” Mrs. Wilks said.
“I can’t go in there, Mommy.”
“Good grief,” Jo said. “Don’t be such a baby. Mom, it’s probably a tiny spider or something. She always exaggerates!”
“It is NOT! Wait until you SEE it!” Susan said, backing away.
Mrs. Wilks peered into the storage room looking for the bug. She reached over to move the clothespin bag. Jo was right behind her mother peeking over her shoulder when suddenly a big black bug flew from beneath the bag right into Jo’s hair.
Mrs. Wilks and Jo screamed. Jo ran around the kitchen frantically waving her hands over her head.
“Help me! Mom, help me!”
Susan, crouched in the corner, peeked between her fingers.


What happens next? You'll have to read the book!
