    About this ebook

    Kelly loves the cabin she has made from a refrigerator box. It has a window with curtains, pictures on the walls, a cabin-sized table and a wonderful view. It sits in the vacant lot next door, transformed into the rugged farm of a pioneer family. Now if only Kelly can find the right person to share it with.

      Kelly's Cabin - Linda Smith

      Z.K.

      Chapter One

      Kelly drew lines and circles. Then she drew circles and lines. She did it over and over again.

      She dropped her pencil and threw the paper on the floor. She didn’t want to draw.

      She didn’t want to do anything. She was bored.

      I wish we hadn’t moved, she said out loud. If they still lived in Calgary, she could ask Amanda to come over, or Star or Rachel. They could play hide-and-seek or pretend to be spies. Rachel might bring her dog, Dandy. Dandy loved to play tug-of-war with a rag. He would run after sticks for hours.

      Kelly looked out her bedroom window. Sean was riding by on his bike. Sean lived on the next block, like Melissa. He’d been in Melissa’s class last year. Mum said Kelly should talk to him, but Kelly wouldn’t. Melissa said he was mean.

      Sean biked out of sight.

      A truck drove up and parked in front of Kelly’s house. Two men opened the back of the truck. One man was tall and had gray hair. The other was shorter. They put a huge box on a dolly and wheeled it up the sidewalk. It must be the new fridge Mum and Dad had bought.

      Kelly stayed where she was. She knew grown-ups didn’t like kids getting in the way when they moved things. But when she saw the men wheel the old fridge out, she left her room. She heard Mum and Dad putting food away in the kitchen.

      The empty box was in the living room.

      She peeked in it. The box was so long that it was dark at the other end. She didn’t
