The Graham Cracker Plot by Shelley Tougas
/Dear Judge Henry, my dad’s in prison for something he didn’t do, thanks to a judge like you. Me and my sometimes friend Graham thought we could bust him out and escape to Canada where we would live in a cabin, learn to hunt, and make our own flour. It was a fail-safe plan. Well, a lot went wrong. In fact, everything that could go wrong, went horribly, horribly wrong. There was a thunderstorm, a stolen mini-pony, a falling refrigerator, a stinky dog named Fred, and a pair of very heavy wire cutters. You told me to write a letter thinking about what I’ve done, but it wasn’t my fault. It was Grahams! Why do you think we called it the Graham Cracker Plot!
