Imogen was so excited to be going on vacation with 

her parents. She had never been outside of Canada 

before. The moment the plane landed at the airport her 

face lit up. She was in a tropical paradise.

We quickly made friends with another family that were 

also on vacation. There was even a girl that was my 

age. And what was that? A parrot? This was going to 

be so much fun!

The girl walked up to me and introduced herself, "Hi, my 

name is Lily.   What's your name?" "My name is Imogen. 

We're from Canada."   "Is that your parrot?" "No, he's just a 

friendly boy that landed on my shoulder. I call him Chachi."

We all went on a tour in a glass-bottom boat where we 

saw all kinds of fish and a big scary shark! It was so 

beautiful and relaxing being out on the ocean. I was in 

no hurry to get back to shore.

We had been out at sea for hours. It was time to head back. I 

looked over and saw a dark, creepy looking island and asked 

what it was. Lily told me that it was called "Monster Island" 

and that it was a very scary place where monsters lived.

I knew that monsters weren't real but I kept wondering who really 

lived on Monster Island. I woke up early the next morning and before 

breakfast, I snuck down to the beach. Monster Island didn't seem 

that far away. Hmmmm.............

"Hey there!" Lily called out. "You're still thinking about Monster Island 

aren't you?" "Um, not really." I was lying. "Guess what? I have always 

wanted to go there too. Our parents think we're in the hotel pool 

swimming. We can take the row boat there and be back for lunch."

And so we headed off for Monster Island. I'm not sure if we were more 

afraid of what we would find or what would happen if our parents found 

out. The closer we got to the island, the colder it got. I should've brought 

a jacket.

When we got there, it was actually nicer than we 

thought it would be. We could hear birds chirping and 

there were plenty of trees and mountains. And best of 

all, no monsters!

"That mountain is huge Imogen. 

How are we ever going to find 

out what's on the other side?" 

Before Imogen could respond, a 

giant scooped up both girls and 

carried them over the mountain.
