Everyone knew that Biscuit was the boldest explorer on the whole street. What nobody knew was that her old compass had never once pointed north. Where the land ran out and the Silver Sea began, the waves rolled in one after another, saying hush, hush, hush. Biscuit was brave about lots of things, like spiders and thunder, but new places made her knees go wobbly. Biscuit tightened the straps of her backpack. Explorers always travel light and tight.
Gulls wheeled overhead, and the sand was warm and full of shells shaped like tiny ears. Deep down, Biscuit wondered if she was really brave enough for a real adventure.
That morning, the needle began to spin, then settled, pointing straight toward the Silver Sea. "The lighthouse on Whale Rock," whispered Biscuit. "It wants me to find the lighthouse on Whale Rock." There was no map for this part, so Biscuit drew one in her head.
