7 To the ljbrary!

7 To the library! Violet's skin tingled. The oak tree vanished. Rainbow light sparkled all around them. Then the light faded. Violet blinked. She wasn't in the yard anymore. But she wasn't in the library, either.

She was in the mall! "Not again!" she said. Yesterday, Sprite had landed them in the mall by mistake, too. "Sorry! I must have been thinking about what happened yesterday, Sprite said. He took out some more pixie dust. Violet stopped him. "Wait," she said. "Look over there."

They had landed inside the cell phone store. A long line of people waited to get help. They were yelling at the workers and holding out their phones. "My screen is fuzzy!" one woman said. "My phone keeps playing the same video over and over," a boy complained.

Violet looked at Sprite. "This is worse than I thought. Jolt must have messed up more than just the gadgets at my house. Who knows what else he's done?" she wondered. "Gremlins cause so much trouble!" Sprite replied. "They mess up everything they can find! When Jolt gets done with Action Kingdom, he'll find something new to break." "Then we've got to hurry!" Violet cried. "Right!" said Sprite. He threw the pixie dust again. Violet closed her eyes. She held her nose. When she opened her eyes, she was in the library. Hanging from a tall bookshelf!

Sprite was hiding behind a book. He slowly peeked his head out. "Sprite," Violet moaned. "Can't you get our landing right just once?" Sprite popped out and shrugged. "Landing is the hardest part. You can climb down from here." "Violet Briggs! What are you doing up there?" a voice cried. Sprite quickly ducked behind the book. Violet looked down. It was Ms. Bowley, the librarian!
