THE YOUNG PIONEERS SERIES - BOOK 5 ANTHOLOGY
Return of the Lost Shoe (Story 1)
The pair of shoes actually had not been bought for Theodore (better known as Teddy). They were bought for his big brother, Clifton, and they were a perfect fit at the time, but Cliff was in line for something: a "growth spurt" where a boy was one size now, and two weeks later he was another size. And the thing was, that usually happened to a boy's feet. Nothing strange about that. What was strange was what the lost shoe did and how it got back with its mate.

Hidden in the Stuff (Story 2)
Ten-year-old Rosie sat waiting. Her "runaway bag" was in her lap. Two meat-filled biscuits were in her apron pocket. Four strips of dried meat were in the carrying bag. The bag had been packed for several weeks, but the meat was slipped in just a few minutes ago when Ollie had told her this was the day. Why had she done all that? Maybe the next few words will tell.
