    About this ebook

    Dear Diary,

    I never thought I'd say this—I'm going camping, OUTDOORS, on Pulau Ubin overnight. It's not like I had a choice, because it counts towards our grades. Luckily, Pink, my BFF, will be there with me.

    All I have to do is survive one night, right? After all, what could go wrong in the JUNGLE? 

    The best thing about going to Pulau Ubin is the chance to get away from little brother Alex and his spider. But Rosie soon comes face to face with monitor lizards, bats and a haunted house. Ahhh! Not only that, she gets lost! Thank goodness her best friends Pink and Ben are with her, and together they try to find their way to the camp site. One thing's for sure—life in Singapore is exciting!

      Ready for Adventure

      Dear Diary,

      Well, it’s been three and a half months since we moved to Singapore. I feel…okay. No, actually, I still feel lost. I still feel like I have to ask so many questions just to get one simple thing done. Back home in New York, I didn’t have to ask any questions. I knew where to go, who to ask, what I needed to do to get things done. Not here. But it’s like I am slowly learning how things work and I do feel like…a new person! Yeah, the new and improved Rosie C. Smith! Hahaha! Now if I can just get Will from school to notice me. He’s so cute! Even Pink thinks he’s dreamy (her word, not mine!). LOL!

      Illustration

      Anyway, our class is going on an overnight trip to Pulau Ubin today. Why??! Ugh! I really don’t want to go, but I couldn’t come up with a good excuse not to. And par ticipation counts towards our Science grade. That’s what Mrs Irons said anyway. Whatever!

      At least Pink is coming along. It’s really cool that my school let me bring my BFF with me on this weekend trip. Everyone could invite friends from other schools to join us on this trip. So of course I had to choose Pink. Yeah, my BFF has got my back! I bet she knows everything about the outdoors, so it’s going to be fun. I hope. What spoils the whole trip is that Sharon, aka the witch, will be there. Well, unless she’s sick and has to stay home. But that’s probably not going to happen. She even signed up to be the teacher’s assistant! LOL!! Can you believe it? Yeah, I can’t believe it either… Psycho!!!

      Alex had been bugging me to take him on this trip, but a day without my darling little brother is a day without terror. I’m glad I don’t have to take him with me. It’s bad enough Sharon will be there. It’s going to be some weekend!

      Rosie…

      Hearing her brother’s voice, Rosie quickly closes the diary that Grandma gave her and puts it into her backpack. She slings her bag over her shoulder and heads towards the kitchen.

      "Wahhh!" Rosie screams as Alex suddenly jumps out from the kitchen doorway. Her brother is dressed up in camouflage gear and has drawn two thick dark streaks on each side of his face.

      What are you doing, Alex? Why are you dressed like that? Rosie snaps, annoyed.

      I’m ready, Rosie, let’s go, Alex says.

      Uh…go where?

      With a big grin on his face, Alex says, You know, to the jungle island. Mom said you’re taking me with you on your field trip.

      Illustration

      Rosie stares at Alex for a second before yelling, Mom! Will you please tell Alex that he is not going on the field trip with me?

      Oh come on, Rosie, you need me to protect you from all the wild animals, Alex says, and it’ll be fun.

      Rosie runs to her parents’ bedroom. Mom! she calls, knocking on their door.

      Okay, okay, Rose, Mom answers sleepily as she opens the door. No need for all this yelling.

      Pink is coming with me on the trip, remember? Rosie says.

      I know, honey, Mom replies, patting Rosie’s shoulder. Calm down, okay?

      Thank goodness it’s Saturday, Dad says with a groan as he rolls out of bed. I’ll get the coffee brewing.

      Rose, Pink’s mom just sent me a text, Mom says. Pink will be up here in a few minutes, so go wait for her in the living room.

      Illustration

      Rosie turns and happily skips down the hallway,
