Chapter 1

A young girl walked slowly down a trail that weaved its way through tall pine trees. It was a cool autumn morning and the path ahead was shrouded in fog. Fast running water rushed over the rocks in a nearby stream. Invisible birds chirped high in the branches. A brown layer of wet dead leaves and pine needles covered the ground and she stepped carefully so she wouldn’t slip. Wet leaves squished under her tennis shoes.

Focused on keeping her footing, she was startled when a gray bushy tailed squirrel darted across the path in front of her and disappeared into the woods. She skidded to a stop and watched as three baby squirrels scampered across the path and disappeared into the woods after their mother.

Casey, she shouted. Did you see that?

See what Kiley? asked a young boy who emerged from the curtain of fog behind her.

Kiley pointed towards the woods and said It was a family of bushy tailed squirrels.

Casey looked to where his sister pointed but didn’t see anything. Bummer! I missed them.

Gray bushy tailed squirrels are Judy’s favorite, said Kiley to her brother. Life had changed for the two young children. Casey and Kiley now had a stepmom. It had taken almost a year for them to adjust to balancing between their mom and a stepmom, but they had, and now appreciated her very much.

They began to walk along the path again. Drops of water dripped from the pine branches and landed softly on the wet ground. Kiley led the way along the familiar trail.

Kiley rounded a corner and saw a large blue bird standing on top of a big, brown hollow log nestled in the wet leaves.

Tuttle! she yelled and ran towards the log. Just before she reached the bird, she slipped on the wet leaves and landed on her backside. Ouch!

Casey rushed over and helped her get up. He brushed the wet leaves off the back of her blue jeans. Are you OK? he asked.

Yes, answered Kiley in an embarrassed voice.

OK. Now I can laugh, said Casey and he did. You looked like you slipped on a banana peel in a cartoon.

Very funny.

Hi Casey and Kiley, said the bird. Normally, the children would have been shocked to hear a bird talk but Tuttle was not a real bird. He was an alien robot who spoke with a mechanical voice. Using a multi-language program, he could talk to the children in English. The program enabled him to speak every known language in the Universe.

Hi Tuttle, they answered in unison. Although the two children were not twins, they often had the same thoughts at the same time.

They looked at their friend. Tuttle’s body was made of a shiny, blue metal. He was about two feet tall with yellow eyes and a red beak. He had short legs with black webbed feet that were perched on the top of the fallen hollow log. Although Tuttle’s exterior was a bird-like robot, he was not a robot. He was an intelligent alien being whose original
