      1. A Box Changes My Life

      A box changed my life. It was sitting outside Apartment 29G when I came home from Starwood Elementary.

      My name, FREDDIE RAMOS, was written on it in big black letters. I’d never gotten a package like this.

      What did you get? a deep voice asked.

      I looked up to see Mr. Vaslov. He had a paintbrush in his hand. Mr. Vaslov takes care of Starwood Park Apartments, and he is always fixing something.

      I don’t know yet, I said. I can’t open the box. It’s taped up like a mummy.

      I’ll look in my toolshed, Mr. Vaslov said. I’ve got scissors there.

      I followed him with my mummy box.

      Be careful, he said, as we walked. The paint is still wet.

      The toolshed looked bright, white, and all brand new. The last place Mom and I lived didn’t have someone like Mr. Vaslov always trying to make things look nice. When big kids wrote bad words on the walls, the words stayed there a long time.

      Where did I put my scissors? Mr. Vaslov said.

      While Mr. Vaslov searched, I peeked in. I’d never seen inside the toolshed. There were tables and shelves full of wires, cables, batteries, and electronic stuff.

      Did you take apart a billion computers? I asked.

      No, Mr. Vaslov laughed. Only fifty.

      Just as I was about to ask him why he was cutting up computers, Mr. Vaslov found his scissors.

      We opened the box. First we saw lots of white packing popcorn.

      Then we saw a sheet of purple paper. It had five words printed on it.

      ‘Zapato Power.’ Mr. Vaslov pushed his bushy gray hair away from his face. That sounds interesting.

      Yeah. I turned the purple paper over. Except I’m not sure what it means.

      Zapato? Mr. Vaslov asked.

      "Doesn’t that mean
