That's Weird, Grandma

Jamie and Claudia ran away from home because they got tired of living there. They ran away to Mexico and hopped onto a school bus to get to the airport. But when they got there they found out it never existed. They go back on the bus to drive all the way to Mexico, but the bus ran out of gas so they got stuck in the desert and had to eat scorpions. They run into Ms. Basil E. Frankwieler and found out she’s going to Mexico too, so they go with her. Then HER truck shuts down so they call a tow truck. They find a book in the desert called “Living In Mexico”, but the authors name is scratched out. They were stopping people on the expressway asking them if they’d written this book. They arrive in Mexico and they meet Pedro. He hides his identity and he says, “Yo no escribe esta libro.” Jamie and Claudia and Ms. Frankwieler say “What?”  Then they learn to speak Spanish and Pedro says, “OK. I wrote the book.” The End
