1 Ski Lift Scare!

Chapter 1 Ski Lift Scare! Ivan watched the light snow falling on the mountain. The only thing he enjoyed more than reading was skiing. His long arms and legs were always graceful going down the slopes. Every Thanksgiving, his mom and dad brought him to a resort. A wonderful family tradition. This year, his cousins had tagged along. It had been three months since they'd escaped 13th Street. Malia and Dante thought they were safe now, but Ivan wasn't so sure. He had been doing lots of research, trying to figure out what had happened and why. But nothing made sense just yet. "I kind of wish we were back at the lodge with

第一章 滑雪缆车惊魂！ 伊万望着飘落在山上的细碎雪花。 除了读书，他最爱的事就是滑雪了。 他长手长脚的，顺着雪坡滑下去的时候姿态总是格外潇洒。 每年感恩节，爸爸妈妈都会带他去一处度假山庄。 这是个超棒的家庭传统。 今年，他的表兄妹们也跟着一起来了。 距离他们从13号街逃出来已经过去三个月了。 玛利亚和但丁觉得他们现在安全了，可伊万没那么确定。 他做了好多调查，想弄明白之前到底发生了什么，又是为什么会发生。 但目前为止还是一头雾水。 “我有点希望我们现在正和叔叔婶婶们待在小旅馆里，”

Ivan looked up the slope. Coming down toward them was another lift, full of people returning to the lodge. For a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then the other group passed them, and Ivan gasped in surprise! Sitting in between two kids was Do.a Chabela! She smiled and winked at him. "Guys," Ivan said. "It's her!"

伊万抬眼朝雪坡上方望去。 另一辆缆车正朝他们滑下来，里面坐满了回旅馆的人。 有那么一瞬间，他松了口气。 可等那组人从旁边经过的时候，伊万惊讶得倒抽了一口冷气！ 坐在两个小孩中间的居然是——查贝拉奶奶！ 她笑着冲伊万眨了眨眼。 “大伙，”伊万开口道。 “是她！”
