Mystery at Camp White Cloud
Chapter 1 Frankie, Gil, and Angela
Frankie looked over the book she was reading to see a group of children choosing teams on the soccer field.Behind them stood a brown wooden arch with the faded words "Welcome to Camp White Cloud."
Frankie (short for Francis, which she disliked) had arrived yesterday.Along with 199 other campers, to spend two weeks in the mountains of Colorado.
"Hey Frankie! How's it going?" came a voice from behind her.
"Oh, hi, Gil. I'm fine. How are you?" Gil was the first camper Frankie had met yesterday.
A loud cheer interrupted them.A tall girl wearing a Camp White Cloud T-shirt was jumping up and down, celebrating the goal she scored.
"Have you met Angela Hansen yet?" Gil asked.
"She's in my cabin. Everybody knows her," Frankie answered.
Gil thought for a moment."You know, it must be great to be Angela.Her dad is Camp Director. She gets to play all summer."
"Yeah, but he's always busy running the camp.She probably doesn't see her dad much," Frankie said.
A bell suddenly chimed, and the soccer game stopped.
"Lunch, let's go eat—I'm starving!" Gil said as he jumped up from the rock.
Chapter 2 Bump Goes the Night
That night, Frankie lay on her bunk after lights out.She thought of the story of Old Man Looper that Angela told earlier.
Looper was a miner who hoped to find a fortune in gold in the area's mountain streams.Unfortunately, he had little luck and started talking only to himself and his mule.One day, he mysteriously disappeared; Angela said he'd haunted the camp ever since.
Frankie didn't believe the story.It was just meant to scare new campers, she thought as she drifted off to sleep.
"What was that?!" a voice called out.
Frankie shot up in her bunk.
"Shhh! Listen!" someone whispered from a lower bunk.
Hearing a twig snap, Frankie caught a glimpse of a shadow outside the cabin.
"Hey, Michiko! I think it's coming toward your window!" Frankie whispered urgently.
"I don't see anything," Michiko answered.
The girls in the cabin held their breath. Frankie could faintly see Angela's bunk;she couldn't believe Angela was sleeping through this.
"Where is it now?" Frankie asked.
"I think it's moving away from us," Michiko said.
"Toward the boys' cabin?" Frankie asked.
"I think so," Michiko said.
After a few more questions, everyone quieted down.The image lurking outside the cabin frightened Frankie, but it also raised questions—the big one being:Why would someone, or something, be outside their cabin at this hour?
Chapter 3 First Warning
"Hey, Gil, did you boys see anything last night?" Frankie asked after breakfast.
"Yes! It was crazy. We all saw something sneaking around our cabin, scratching and moving around," Gil answered.
"So, what do you think it was?" Frankie continued.
"I really don't know," he said. "What do you think, Angela?"
"I was asleep, but it had to be Old Man Looper," Angela said."He shows up every summer."
Still, Frankie refused to believe it was Looper.
A bell signaled morning activity time.Angela and Gil went to woodworking class, and Frankie went to kayaking class.
