The Skirt

THE SKIRT IS gone. Miata Ramirez is scared and upset. She brought her forklorico skirt to show off at school and left it on the bus. It’s not just any skirt. This skirt belonged to Miata’s mother when she was a child in Mexico. On Sunday, Miata and her dance group are going to dance forklorico. It’s Friday afternoon. Miata doesn’t want her parents to know she’s lost something again. Can she find a way to rescue the precious skirt in time?
