Dust swirled off the ground, and in seconds the footprints disappeared. Evie tried to gently brush away the top layer of dust, but the prints had been smudged. The footprints didn\u2019t look like footprints anymore. They looked like blotches in the dirt. Evie sighed and pulled out her TAB. She started uploading the holo- images she\u2019d taken to the device. Then something darted in the corner of her vision.<\/p>\n

She turned just as a shadow scuttled across the ground and disappeared behind a pile of rocks. She didn\u2019t get a good look, but it had to be some kind of animal. The fresh footprints proved it! \u201cThere you are!\u201d Evie whispered. Her heart skipped a beat as she touched the new six-toed prints. \u201cI knew you existed.\u201d She ran after the creature toward the pile of rocks.<\/p>\n

She tried to dig her hands into the tiny space it had disappeared into, but her gloves were too thick. She managed to pull away a few rocks, but most of them were firmly stuck to each other or the ground. Evie grunted in frustration. She was so close to getting proof of an actual, living creature. She couldn\u2019t give up now. She walked around the mound of rocks.<\/p>\n

On the other side, she noticed a slightly larger opening. It was completely black, as if it led somewhere deep underground. She bent down and peered inside, but she saw nothing. She tried to squeeze through, but her helmet was too big. \u201cThis is ridiculous!\u201d Evie exclaimed. She sat on the ground and tried to come up with a plan.<\/p>\n

This planet was the most Earth-like one they had ever found. Everyone on the Wanderer said so. That was why there was so much excitement on board. Evie pulled out her TAB. \u201cAnalyze the air,\u201d she told it. In seconds, her TAB replied, \u201cAir is within acceptable limits for humans.\u201d The air was breathable. But Evie knew the rules. Never remove your helmet without the captain\u2019s approval. She stared at the footprints and the rocks again. Maybe she was imagining things. \u201cNo,\u201d she told herself. \u201cWhat I saw was real.\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked around to see if Emery had come looking for her. But he was nowhere to be seen. She turned back to the hole in the rocks. Suddenly a sharp scratching sound echoed in the dark. Something was definitely moving inside. Evie picked up her TAB and checked the air again.<\/p>\n

The words AIR BREATHABLE flashed across the screen. Finally, she unclipped the locks on her helmet and pulled it off. Evie took a deep breath. The air smelled funny, like Emery after his workouts. But she didn\u2019t feel dizzy or sick. The TAB had been right. The air was safe.<\/p>\n

So, Evie slipped out of her Spaceskin and carefully placed it on the ground. The heat from the sun warmed her bare arms and legs. She\u2019d never felt that before.<\/p>\n

When I look at the night sky, I wonder\u2014does scary stuff happen up there just as it does here on Earth? Sounds can\u2019t travel through outer space because there\u2019s no air. So if frightened people were out there, we\u2019d never even hear their screams. I wonder . . .<\/p>\n

In Haunted Planet, a crew of humans is traveling through space, looking for a new home. And they think the planet named AX-351 might be it. But when twins Evie and Emery visit the alien world, they discover weird, deadly plants that will do anything to survive. Anything. And then they see the ghosts. OceanofPDF.com 1 \u201cEmery, there\u2019s life down there!\u201d<\/p>\n

Evie Linn said. She waved her twin brother over to her side. \u201cTell me these aren\u2019t animal tracks.\u201d Evie was squinting at a hologram floating above the computer panel. The 3-D image showed the surface of the new planet below them. The crew of their ship, the Wanderer, had been studying this strange, new world named AX-351. Scientists had been gathering info on it for the last twenty star-days. Now, they were ready to go to the surface in small groups called away teams. \u201cThey\u2019re not animal tracks,\u201d Emery said robotically.<\/p>\n

He kept his eyes glued to his computer station. \u201cYou didn\u2019t even look,\u201d Evie said with a huff. Emery glanced up long enough to scowl at his sister. \u201cStop bugging me,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know I\u2019m preparing to be on that first away team. I need to be the first crew member to catalog ten alien plant species.<\/p>\n

I have to win the internship.\u201d Evie rolled her eyes. Of course she knew. Winning the year-long internship with the ship\u2019s chief botanist had been Emery\u2019s dream since he was six. Evie crossed the small space that was the living room section of their home quarters. She had her TAB portable computer in her hand. She stuck it between her brother\u2019s face and his computer station. \u201cLook!\u201d she demanded. She swished her hand over the image, zooming in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere! See how those holes in the ground repeat and make a pattern? They have to be animal tracks.\u201d Annoyed, Emery stood up and faced his twin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
