    About this ebook

    It's a huge, silver, table-tennis trophy, and it has Abby's name on it. So she's devastated when her brother Liam gets to keep it first. He won't even let her take it into school for Prize Assembly.

    So Abby decides to steal the trophy back - and revenge herself on Liam. But neither task proves easy, especially since Abby tends to leave a trail of disaster in her wake. And when the moment comes for her revenge, things take an unexpected turn...

    A fast and funny chapter book for ages 8 and over.

    I'm a qualified teacher and librarian who has had seven children's books published in traditional form in the UK and USA. I've also had about sixty short stories published in British and Australian magazines.In 2012 I set up a child-friendly website, www.megamousebooks.com, to offer free children's stories, ebooks and printable puzzles. Five years later I created my second site, www.englishliteratureebooks.com, as a home for free abridged classic novels and classic poetry ebook collections. Keeping both sites going is proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one!

    The Trophy Trap

    Chapter One

    I am the champion! I am the tops! Nobody can beat me! chanted Abby. She danced down the road holding the silver trophy high in the air. It was as big as her head. And it had her name on it.

    "We are the champions, said Liam, walking behind her. Us. Two of us. It was doubles, remember?"

    Her older brother was not nearly as excited about the trophy as Abby. He did not dance: he trudged.

    I played the winning shot! she reminded him.

    And I made eighty per cent of the other winning shots. That means eighty out of a hundred. Four out of five.

    I know what per cent means! Anyway, you didn’t.

    Yes, I did, and you know it, growled Liam. I won four times as many points as you because I’m four times as good.

    No, you’re not!

    Yes, I am, said Liam. So I should have the trophy. Give it here.

    With three loping strides, he caught her up and tried to wrench the trophy from her grasp.

    Abby shrieked like a steam train. She kicked him in the shins and sprinted off with the trophy. Although she was three and a half years younger than Liam and a good deal smaller, she was quicker off the mark. The more Liam grew, the clumsier he seemed to get.

    So she reached their house a fraction before he did. She burst through the door, yelling,

    Mum Mum MUM look look LOOK! I won, we won the trophy, isn’t it beautiful?

    She thrust it out to show Mum her name.

    Wow, said Mum. As Liam came in, Abby hugged the trophy to her chest.

    I want to put it in my room, said Liam.

    Abby shrieked like a steam train again.

    NO! said Mum, clapping her hands to her ears. Not in the house.

    Sorry, said Abby. "But why? Why should Liam have it? I’ve never won a trophy before, and I’m younger than he is. Why can’t I keep it?"

    "We can put
