Excerpts

Roscoe Riley Rules #3: Don't Swap Your Sweater for a Dog Chapter One Welcome to Time-Out Hey! Want to play? Oops. I mean, want to play when I'm done with time-out? I sort of kind of got in some trouble again. 'Cause I sort of kind of borrowed somebody's dog. I only borrowed him so I could win a trophy. A shiny, sparkly, silver trophy. You've probably borrowed a dog before, right? A cat? A gerbil? A tarantula? Oh. Well, I had my reasons. It's a long story, actually. Usually when I end up in time-out, there's a long story to tell. And since you're here anyway, I'll bet you'd like to hear it. . . . Roscoe Riley Rules #3: Don't Swap Your Sweater for a Dog . Copyright © by Katherine Applegate.
