Emma Moves In

Chapter Three

Without warning, the days continue to pass by, like a ticking time clock. The whole time, Emma feels like she can sense the end of the week looming closer and closer.

At the final goodbye dinner, Emma is grabbing a plate of yummy Maryland crab when her mom and Aunt Alison stand up. They explain that a dream of theirs was always to open a bed-and-breakfast. And now with Grandma Stephenson being unable to take care of the Seaview House on her own, Grandma finally agreed to sell half of the Seaview House to Emma’s family!

They plan to move Emma and Mom into the Seaview House at the end of the summer, with Dad joining when he can find a replacement chef at Harvest Moon. This is Emma’s dream coming true! She’s always wanted to move to Waverly and live closer to her family. This is her opportunity.

By the end of the summer, Emma and her friend Amelia are in Harvest Moon at their goodbye lunch. Amelia reminds Emma that she’s missing out on the sixth grade camping trip they’ve dreamt about for ages. She also will be missing the next season of soccer.

Emma is sad to be leaving those things behind, but she can’t help but remind herself that moving to Waverly is her dream… it’s going to be amazing.
