Water-Ski Wipeout - Franklin W. Dixon
Chapter 1
A CABIN IN THE WOODS
As the tour bus pulled up outside the lodge, Frank and Joe Hardy could see the lake in the distance. Bucks Mountain, the tallest peak near their hometown, Bayport, was right behind it.
You think we could hike all the way to the top?
Frank asked, turning to his younger brother.
It’s probably too steep,
eight-year-old Joe replied. Besides, don’t you want to spend all day out on the boat? That’s why I brought the skis.
Nine-year-old Frank looked at the luggage rack above them. His brother’s new water skis were tied together on the luggage rack with a bright blue strap. Last summer Joe had started water-skiing at camp. In just a few weeks, he’d gotten really good. He even tried to ski for a few seconds on just one ski—even though he usually ended up in the water! Joe was so excited about waterskiing, this year their parents had bought him his very own set of skis for Christmas. And he was ready to break them in at the third and fourth graders’ school trip to Lake Poketoe. This would be the very first time he used them.
You’ll have to teach me,
Frank said. I doubt I’ll be as good as you.
Ellie Freeman’s head popped up over the seat in front of them. She was wearing her Bayport Bandits T-shirt. She was on their baseball team, and she liked wearing the uniform even when she didn’t have to. You promised to teach me too,
she said, looking at Joe. I want to learn how to do a flip!
Joe laughed. Like the professionals do? That’s really hard. I don’t think I’m going to be able to do that for a while!
Ellie hopped out of her seat and grabbed her duffel bag from the rack above. I guess I can try. . . . Are you guys going to the barbecue tonight?
You bet,
Joe said. Mr. Morton promised he’d make his famous smoked ribs.
Mr. Morton, their good friend Chet’s dad, was one of the parents who had come along on the school trip. Suzie Klein’s mother had also come, but as far as Joe knew, she didn’t make ribs as good as Mr. Morton’s.
Joe reached for the water skis on the rack above, and they came down with a clatter as he tried to take them down.
Ow! Watch it, Hardys.
Frank and Joe turned around to see Adam Ackerman in the seat behind them. Adam was in Frank’s grade at school. He was sitting with his friend Paul. Adam was on the aisle, and he kept rubbing the side of his head.
You hit me with those stupid skis!
Adam complained. He stood up, yanking his bag down from the rack above. You’re going to pay for that, Hardy.
He pushed past them, nearly knocking Joe over. Paul followed close behind. He was a short boy with a large, round face. He always wore his brown baseball cap turned to the side. Watch your back, Hardy,
he grumbled.
Just ignore them,
Frank said. It’s not worth it.
But Joe’s cheeks were hot. He felt like everyone on the bus was staring at him. Let’s go,
he said, careful not to knock anyone else with the skis.
