Hello, my name is Patrin. I'm the apprentice to the Royal Toymaker of the Silver Isles... except that there hasn't been a Royal Toymaker for years and years, since before you were born. You are probably wondering why I'm the apprentice of somebody who doesn't exist... well I don't know what to say... I'm just as confused about the whole thing as you! |
We've been finding all kinds of splendid toys that are really amazing: puzzles, sun boxes, puppet theatres, even a Flying Fish Car. They all have a small Toymaker's mark embossed on them but no one seems to recognize it or know who made them. We've collected thousands of toys, whole warehouses full. You'll be impressed when you see them! |

As you know the Greylands is the most terrible country imaginable and they eat people for breakfast. However, "He who takes no risks will eat no coconuts," as my friend, Chimka says. The problem is that I can think of only one way to get there.

The other problem is that there have been stories of clowns down in Blocksbury. Nasty, evil ones, not nice people like the clowns up in the Gulf of Parsee. They kidnap people and they are never seen again, well at least that's what I've heard! I just know the missing Toymaker is down there.

And there is this Greylander girl named Clio. She knows the woman in the photo somehow. Now all I have to do is steal the Flying Fish Car, kidnap this Clio, who will lead me to the woman in the photos, take them to Blocksbury, find the missing Toymaker and get back to school before my parents find out that I'm not wherever I think up to tell them that I've been.
So! That's my plan! |
