Although everyone in Isabel's family is either working or attending

summer school, the entire family is going to Taos, New Mexico for

two weeks. Hotels everywhere are expensive; consequently, Isabel's

mother has rented a house with four bedrooms. Because there are

more bedrooms than the family needs, Isabel wants to fly on

Southwest Airlines and take her best friend, Jilian, but Isabel's

stepfather has decreed, perhaps because he is a banker and fiscally responsible, the family will drive from their home in Dallas to the

rental in Taos. Of course, Alex, who is always impatient, wants to

drive straight through the night, stopping only for gas and

hamburgers, whereas Isabel's mother wants the family to break up

the fourteen hour journey and spend the night in a motel in Amarillo,

Texas. Isabel, declaring that she has no intention of camping out

under the stars, flatly refuses to go to Taos unless she can take all

her stuffed animals: Cecil B. DeLion; Moo-Moo; Douglas, a jaguar;

and Ontario, a green-eyed wolf. Isabel has already quarreled with he

r brother, Alex, who thinks she is selfish to take up so much space in

the car with her possessions, but her mother takes up for her because

she wants Isabel to be happy on this family vacation, the last she will

take before she goes off to college in the fall. Her mother wonders,

having had an unhappy vacation with a very discontent Isabel in

Galveston the previous year, whether Isabel will be content without

her best friend Jilian; however, Isabel's mother has vowed never to

take Jilian on a trip again; in the past ,she has always gotten

homesick and become frightened of the noise of cicadas, insisting that

cicadas in Dallas are much quieter and less menacing.
