Chapter One
An Idea That Works
This adventure happened on a hot Saturday in June. The day started off great. Then it got terrible. Then it got great again.
Right after breakfast, I went with my dad to his workshop. I was so excited. His workshop is where he makes toys and furniture out of wood, which is his job. I had been asking him for a month to teach me what he does. And he had promised that today we would start.
The workshop has a lot of light because of the big windows. And there’s always the smell of fresh wood shavings. I like sweeping them up and putting them in the big barrel.
“What are we going to make, Dad?” I asked as we put on the denim coveralls. (Mom says they’re aprons, but Dad calls them coveralls.)
“Well, we might not get as far as making things today, Caleb. There’s a lot of basic stuff to learn before you start handling the saw and cutting the wood.”
“Yeah, but I learn fast, right, Dad?”
“We’ll see how far we get.”
I should have realized when he said this that we weren’t going to get very far at all. Dad wanted to go through all these rules about safety and then just sit there and talk about the wood and look at it. I wanted to cut it or at least sand it. I wanted to make something!
Anyway, that’s when the day became terrible. I said I was bored. And then Dad said maybe I was too young to learn woodworking. So I got mad and left.
It was very hot outside, but I didn’t want to go into the house. My mom would ask why I was done so soon. So I walked over to our weeping willow tree, thinking I could sit in the shade and hide for a while.
My older sister Hannah was there already, reading. She’s almost eleven and always has her nose in a book. She didn’t even look up when I pushed aside the hanging branches and sat down next to her.
“Hi, Hannah,” I said.
“Hi,” she replied, still not looking up.
“Want to do something?”
“No, I want to read my book,” she said.
“Come on, Hannah. Let’s do something fun.”
“I want to read, Caleb. Why don’t you do something with Noah?”
Noah is my six-year-old brother.
“Noah can come, too,” I said. “In fact, he has to. We need him, to do what I’m planning.”
Now Hannah looked up.
“What do you mean?” she asked. “What are you planning?”
