What’s Going On? Maddie woke up on Saturday feeling jubilant . It was her 12th birthday. But then something weird happened: Nobody mentioned it. Her mom said, “Good morning, Sugarplum!” the way she always did. Her brother ignored her and kept eating his cereal. When Maddie phoned Lia, her best friend, Lia didn’t even call her back! That was odd. Later, Maddie went to her violin lesson, just like every other Saturday.
KEY QUESTIONS 1. PREDICTION: What do you think happens next in the story? 2. PREDICTION: Do you think Maddie will still consider this the worst birthday ever? Why? 3. INFERENCE: Why doesn’t her mom say “Happy Birthday” to Maddie? 4. CONTEXT CLUES: What do you think jubilant means? ■ thrilled ■ tired ■ fearful 5. S-T-R-E-T-C-H: How does the story end? Complete it.
This, she thought, was the worst birthday ever! But then, as Maddie was returning home, she saw Lia going in her front door. And her friend, Stella, too. And why were there bunches of balloons out front? What was going on?

stay still. The robot broke into a silly dance. Hmmmm . This robot always seemed to do the opposite of what it was told. So Dr. Morkus had a bright idea. Her laboratory was a big mess. Cleaning it up was one of her least favorite tasks. “Robot,” said Dr. Morkus, “I command you not to clean up my lab.”
