    About this ebook

    From the author of Stick Dog comes the sixth book in a highly illustrated early chapter book series about three best friends whose plans, missions, and schemes are sure to shake up their school.

    Uh-oh! Molly’s parents have a secret. They want to move to a new house—maybe even a new town. But Molly can’t leave her best friends Rosie and Simon behind!

    Now the trio from Table 5 only have three days to come up with a scavenger hunt that will remind Molly’s parents of all the things they love about their house and neighborhood…before the moving vans come and Molly has to go.

    Tom Watson

    Tom Watson lives in Chicago with his wife, daughter, and son. He also has a dog, as you could probably guess. The dog is a Labrador-Newfoundland mix. Tom says he looks like a Labrador with a bad perm. He wanted to name the dog "Put Your Shirt On" (please don't ask why), but he was outvoted by his family. The dog's name is Shadow. Early in his career Tom worked in politics, including a stint as the chief speechwriter for the governor of Ohio. This experience helped him develop the unique, storytelling narrative style of the Stick Dog books. More important, Tom's time in politics made him realize a very important thing: Kids are way smarter than adults. And it's a lot more fun and rewarding to write stories for them than to write speeches for grown-ups.

      Trouble at Table 5 #6 - Tom Watson

      IT WAS THURSDAY.

      That’s my counting day.

      I almost picked Wednesday to be counting day because it has nine letters—the most of any day.

      But nine is an odd number. And I like even numbers way more than odd numbers. That’s because with odd numbers, there’s always something left over. And who wants that?

      Saturday is tied with Thursday for the next most letters—eight. That’s an even number. I had to choose between those two days.

      I didn’t want counting day to be on the weekend. So Thursday is counting day.

      After I woke up, I brushed my teeth with twenty-six sideway strokes and eighteen up-and-down strokes.

      For breakfast, I had Froot Loops—that’s my favorite cereal. I took the green and purple ones out of my bowl. They remind me of grapes.

      I counted the orange, yellow, red, and blue Froot Loops left in my bowl. There were 129. I put one back in the box before eating.

      When I met my best friends, Rosie and Simon, at the end of my driveway, they knew it was counting day. They totally get me. They didn’t think it was strange when I walked to school with my head down as I counted the sidewalk squares.

      Of course, I know how many sidewalk squares there are on the way to school. There are 412. I’ve counted them, like, a million times. But it never hurts to be absolutely certain.

      I can still talk with Rosie and Simon while I count. It’s like one part of my brain does the counting while a different part of my brain listens and talks. The counting part is in the back part of my head, on the right side near the top. The listening and talking parts are along both sides.

      I was on sidewalk square number sixty-eight when Rosie asked, Did you guys remember your book reports?

      I did, Simon said and patted his backpack. "I found a book about monster
