Meanwhile, Rachel was on top of the mountain trying to get a view of what the land was like. She sat her bookbag down and opened it up. Inside were binoculars, the piece of paper that Avery had given her before she left, pens, and some candy she snagged at the palace in case she got hungry. Rachel used the binoculars to see what was around her. She saw little gummy bears walking around and sour patch kids roasting marshmallows over a fire. She saw Hershey kisses with little faces washing their clothes in a hot cocoa river. Beyond that, she saw chocolate mountains in the distance.
“Well, I guess that’s a view of the whole land,” she said to herself. She took out the notebook paper. Rachel saw that Avery had filled in Cookie Islands, Icecream Mountains, Lollipop valley and forest, and Candy Gardens. She added “Lord Licorice’s bat-filled jail cell” to the bottom of the paper, and used one of her pens to write “Rock Candy Mountain” on the list. Then she listed the places she saw through her binoculars: Hershey Kiss Town, Sour Patch Kids Village, Candy Cane Tree Woods, Gummy Bear Village and Chocolate Mountains.
Rachel waved goodbye to the lonely tree below and quickly packed up her stuff and put her book bag back on. She leaned down and pulled a piece of rock candy off the top of the mountain, finding fudge underneath. She used a piece of rock candy to shovel some fudge out and spread it like a slide on the top edge of the mountain. She put the piece of rock candy into her backpack in case she needed something sharp. She also grabbed it as a souvenir to show her friends when she got home. Then she slid right down into the gummy bear town.
