Bella's Plane Trip

Bella is invited out to Nebraska to spend two whole weeks on the farm with Granny and Granddad (Seth'sparents). Bella gets to fly on an airplane alone (each time she has a flight attendant look out for her). When she gets to Nebraska she is apalled at first at how different life there was from Heroesville. Granny and Granddad live on a farm, thirty miles away from the nearest store. They do not have a TV. At first, Bella wants to come home but she learns how to entertain herself. Bella helps with the chores on the farm and becomes responsible for the vegetable garden, including making a salad for dinner each night. She also learns how to knit. Bella makes a friend named Tia, who lives down the road from Granny and Granddad. Tia has short hair and owns a boy's bike, even though she is a girl. Tia teaches Bella how to make her own board games and wrapping paper. They also set up a vegetable stand and have a sleepover using hammocks on the front porch. At the end of two weeks, Bella does not want to come home.
