Excerpt
DIY Pet Shop CHAPTER 1 Knot a Problem
Bella Diaz was in the craft clubhouse—formerly known as the old shack in her backyard—waiting for her three best friends to arrive. It was Saturday afternoon. As often as possible, and especially on weekends, the foursome met up at the clubhouse to do craft projects together.
Knock, knock-knock, knock!
Bella jumped to her feet at the sound of the familiar knock. But when she opened the door, she did not see a familiar face. All she could see were sequined sneakers, bright purple leggings, and two hands carrying a towering pile of fabric pieces.
“Maddie?” Bella guessed.
“How’d you know?” The sneakers shuffled forward, and the giant pile of material landed with a soft thump on the big worktable. Maddie Wilson’s trademark grin came into view.
