      The Great TV Turn-Off (Cul-de-Sac Kids Book #18) - Beverly Lewis

      ONE

      Eric Hagel slapped the Sunday paper shut. No TV for me for one whole week. I’m going cold turkey! he said.

      His mother’s eyes fluttered. "What did you say?"

      You heard right, Mom. America’s TV Turn-Off Week starts tomorrow.

      Eric’s mom cleared off the breakfast table. Really? My goodness, what a wonderful idea.

      I can’t wait to tell my friends, Eric said.

      His mother smiled. Seven days is a long time. Do you think the Cul-de-sac Kids will go for it?

      Well, I’m gonna find out, he said.

      An emergency meeting was held at Dunkum Mifflin’s house. Right after church.

      Abby Hunter sat in the president’s chair—a giant beanbag. The meeting will come to order, she said. Any old business?

      Eric shook his head. So did Dunkum and Jason. And so did Stacy, Carly, Dee Dee, and Abby’s Korean brothers—Shawn and Jimmy Hunter. Nine members, counting Eric.

      OK, what about new business? asked Abby.

      Eric spoke up. Did everyone read the morning paper? The part about America turning off the TV?

      The kids just stared at him.

      C’mon! Don’t you guys read the paper? he asked.

      Abby smiled. I saw the article.

      So . . . are you with me? said Eric. Do you wanna pull the plug?

      On the tube? said Jason. Are you kidding?

      I think it’s a great idea, said Eric. Just think of all the books you could read.

      The others looked shocked.

      Maybe we should have a vote, suggested Abby.

      OK with me, said Eric.

      All in favor of no TV, raise your hands, Abby said.

      Eric, Abby, and Dunkum shot their hands up. Then, very slowly, Stacy, Jimmy, and Shawn put theirs up. They were looking around, though, as they voted.

      Last chance to vote, Eric piped up. He was saying it for Dee Dee’s and Carly’s sake. They were slow-poke members.

      OK, whispered Carly. But she wasn’t smiling about it.

      All against no TV, raise your hands, Abby said.

      Wait! Jason’s hand went up, very
