One day Ali's aunt and her cousin, Emma came
to her house for a visit. Ali had no idea why they
came, but her aunt said she had a surprise for
her. Dulcie wanted Ali to come with her to the
cottage at Sycamore Lake for the summer and
baby-sit Emma! Dulcie's plan was to use the old
boat house as an art studio This happened to be the
place where the weird photo was taken!
Ali just had to go. And after weeks of pleading
her mom she was allowed to go.
