The other mother came in from the kitchen and looked it over. “Oh yeah, I dunno where it’s from. Just found it last night. Why?”
“Well I’m pretty sure The Catcher in the Rye is one of Brian’s books.”
Brian and Rachel’s heads snapped to attention at those words. There was the book! But it didn’t look anything like the book they wanted. What had happened to it?
“Oh, Meggy must’ve taken it by mistake when they played yesterday. You can take it back of course.”
“What’s it about anyway. That’s a funny title.”
