    About this ebook

    When Meghan moves into her new house, she discovers a beautiful but mysterious potted plant. She loves the plant – or at least she did before jabbing herself on a pine needle and waking up inside the pot. Small and frightened, Meghan will have to struggle to survive. There’s also the issue of the evil gnomes who want to play deadly games in return for her freedom.

      Gnome Genome - Heather Beck

      Seventeen-year-old Meghan Bradford opened the sliding door that led to the backyard and walked onto the warm patio. It was a hot July morning and she planned to spend it relaxing on a hammock.

      The hammock, Meghan sighed, is the only thing I like about this place.

      Meghan and her family had just moved from a small prairie town to the city. The Bradfords were used to the beautiful scenery of an open landscape. Now that they lived in a two-story house, all they had to look at was their neighbor’s backyard.

      It’s all her fault, Meghan said aloud, while thinking about her mother. If the bank hadn’t promoted her to their headquarters, I’d be swimming in my pool right now.

      Meghan approached the hammock and threw herself on it. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion as she felt her body tumble over and fall to the ground. Her head hit the ground with a sickening thud. For a moment, all she could see were red and yellow stars on a black background. However, her eyesight soon returned to normal, bringing with it a horrible headache.

      Are you alright? someone shouted.

      Meghan rubbed the side of her head and then looked up. She saw a boy, who was around her age, leaning over the adjacent metal fence.

      Are you alright? he repeated.

      I...I’m fine, Meghan replied, trying to catch her breath after having the wind knocked out of her.

      Are you sure? the boy inquired once again. I saw you fall off the hammock – it looked pretty bad.

      I’m fine, Meghan snapped. He must think I’m a complete klutz, she thought with embarrassment.

      I’m glad you’re okay, the boy smiled. My name’s Justin Grove. I saw your family moving in last week. How do you like your new house?

      It’s okay, Meghan lied, finally getting up from the ground. I must’ve hit my legs pretty bad, she realized as pain shot through them.

      Where did you come from? Justin inquired, not noticing her discomfort.

      Far from here.

      Then this must be very different for you, he joked. 

      Tell me about it, Meghan said with a small laugh. 

      So, will you be going to Eastern Heights High in the fall?

      Yes. It’ll be my last year of high school. Meghan smiled, while thinking about the freedom she would have after graduating. Unknown to her parents, she planned to delay going to college and travel instead.

      Next year is my last also, Justin replied casually.

      That’s nice, Meghan replied, not knowing what else to say. She felt as if the conversation would soon be coming to an abrupt end. To avoid an awkward silence, she gave Justin a polite smile, bid him goodbye and then headed into her house.

      Meghan hurried to the refrigerator and put ice on her throbbing head. I’ll never sit on another hammock as long as I live, she cringed.
