“This is a book seemingly written for boys. And having a son I know that little boys have very active imaginations and thus will love this book.”

Tommy looked at Marissa. “No way! Not even you could build an aircraft in your backyard!”
She smiled. “It’s not going to be an airplane. You’ll be getting there in your own shoes.”
He looked at his running shoes. “You’re going to program my shoes to fly?”
“Get real. I’m going to program your shoes to teleport you to your grandparents’ house.” Marissa straightened her round glasses.
“That sounds worse than flying!”
“Don’t worry. You probably won’t feel a thing.”
“I’m not sure . . .” Tommy said in a tiny voice.
“I’m not going to teleport you yet. I’m going to send a test subject first. I’m so psyched. I’ll keep working on the shoes until they’re perfect!” Marissa kept clicking on the computer.
Mrs. Walsh came into the room. “We have to go grocery shopping, Marissa.”
“Do we have to?” the girl said.
“Yes, we do. You’ll see Tommy at school on Monday,” Mrs. Walsh answered.
“Can’t I see him on Sunday after lunch?”
“No. Sunday is family day. We’re going to go visit your cousins.”
Tommy was disappointed. I can’t wait until Monday to find out who Marissa is going to teleport in the shoes. And how will she do it?
Marissa said, “See you on Monday.”
“Later,” Tommy said to Marissa. He got up, nodded to Marissa’s mother and politely said, “Goodbye, Mrs. Walsh.” Then he left the room and went home. |
