Roxy's Secret

Roxy's Secret

Roxy ran into an empty room. A momenl later she was Rocket Girl! Sometimes Roxy felt bad that herfriends didn't know she was actually Rocket Girl. But Roxy had decided to tell her secret only to Mayor Bloom and Principal Penn. That way she could still have a normal life. Well, sort of normal.

How many eight-year-olds had to save the world every day? But now was not the time to worry about that. Rocket Girl had a job to do! Roxy ran down the hall and out the front door of the school. ” Okay, ” she said. “ It's time to figure out what landed at Mr. Mann's farm. “

Then Roxy blasted into the air. “ Look out the window! “ cried Mara. “ Rocket Girl! “ said Terrell. Soon Roxy was at Mr. Mann's farm. She looked around. Some of the corn had been cut down. Roxy didn't see the spaceship though. Just then something moved in the cornfield.

A figure stepped toward her! “ Oh no! ” Roxy laughed. “ It's an alien detective! “ “ This is no time for making jokes, “ said Detective Smith with a frown. Detective Smith was Metro City's head detective. He was a very serious man. He never joked. “ Fine, “ said Roxy.

“ So what happened here? Where's the spaceship?” “ I don't know, ” said Detective Smith. “ I looked all over for it. I didn't see it anywhere. " “ Did Mr. Mann see where it went?” asked Roxy. ” No, ” said Detective Smith. “ He got scared and ran into his house.
