Eleven
By Patricia Reilly Giff
Searching the attic for presents on the night before his 11th birthday, Sam finds a locked metal box. Sticking out of the box is a newspaper clipping with a picture of a young boy, a picture of a much younger Sam. Sam, who has trouble reading, can’t read most of the words in the article, but he can make out the word in large black letters at the very top: Missing. This had to be a mistake. Wouldn’t Sam have known he’d been missing, even as a little kid? Besides, the article even had the wrong name. His name is Sam, but not Sam Bell.
