Britni's Question

So now that you all know how to get a hold of me, let me answer Britni’s question. She wrote:

“What happens in the first Edgar Font adventure? And are there any drawings from the journal that I could see?”

Well, Britni, I don’t want to spoil the adventure for you, but I will tell you a little bit more.

The first entry in the journal introduces Audrey and her younger brother Garrett Font. They were looking forward to an uneventful Summer break after what seemed like an endless school year. Garrett had a bag full of new puzzle book he was looking too start and Audrey had planned on rereading a few of her favorite books. That was until Aunt Dolores told them that they would be spending the entire three months with their Grandpa Edgar while she and their father dealt with some business overseas.

From what Audrey and Garrett’s father had told them in the past, Grandpa Edgar was an extraordinary man—a traveler, adventurer, and fearless explore. He had done what others have only dreamt of, and seen things that most only believe as fantasy. But those days were long gone. Grandpa Edgar hung up his dusty leather jacket and moved into The Sterling Oaks Retirement Village. It’s a place where strange smells and the bored ghosts of past residents wander the halls.

Within a few minutes of Audrey and Garrett’s stay, Grandpa Edgar shares with them a story of an elephant graveyard and shows them a photo journal full of picture that Grandpa Edgar claims to be ghosts. Grandpa Edgar, who has lived every minute of his life in search of adventure, doesn’t plan on joining these bored spirits and will do whatever it takes to make sure that he doesn’t end up just like them. His plan, as he describes it to Audrey and Garrett, is to hunt for a house that is as unique, exciting, and unusual as he is to haunt.

And from that moment, with the help of Audrey and Garrett, he sets out to explore the first house on his list. An abandoned lighthouse full of puzzles, ghosts, and adventure. It’s the beginning of a Summer none of them will ever forget.

I don’t want to tell you too much, so I’ll stop there. In future posting I’ll tell you more about Grandpa Edgar, Audrey, and Garrett. I might even hint to what’s coming up in the upcoming adventures.

I’ll conclude with some of the drawings in Garrett’s journal. Enjoy.

Your friend & storyteller,
Patrick
