Andy's Big Surprise --Part One

Andy's language arts teacher (the former Ms. Jaquays) called Andy up to her desk one winter morning at the start of class. There on the edge of her desk was the book and when Andy saw it, she threw her hands to her mouth and squealed. Ms. Jaquays directed her to the book-marked page so she could read the dedication. When Andy returned to her seat book in hand, I like to think she was happy. Stunned and maybe even a little embarrassed but happy. The first part of the surprise was over, and the second part was about to begin.
