“You wrote this book?” asked Luke.

“Wrote the book?” beamed Skipstone. “I am the book!” He gazed at the surprised faces around him, then sighed.

“This bit always confuses people,” he said. “Most authors write their books and then their involvement ends. But I was so engrossed in my work that, as I lay dying, I used a spell to merge my spirit with the pages.”

“So you’re trapped in there?” asked Cleo.

“Trapped?” replied Skipstone. “Not at all! I am here by choice!”

“But the pages, I mean your pages, are filled with silly things like poems and sketches,” said Resus. “There’s nothing serious about Scream Street in it at all.”

Samuel Skipstone winked. “What better place to hide important knowledge than among useless claptrap? I do not discuss my work with just anyone.”

“So you haven’t told Sir Otto what you know?” asked Luke.

“Nor will I,” answered Skipstone. “I do not approve of Sneer’s plans for Scream Street. I have remained mute at his every question.”

“I heard Sir Otto say you hadn’t told him anything,” said Luke. “I thought he just hadn’t found what he was looking for, but he must have meant you weren’t speaking!”

Skipstone nodded. “However, for three such eager young minds, I am prepared to talk. Ask and I shall answer!”

Luke took a deep breath. “I want to leave Scream Street.”

Samuel Skipstone fixed Luke with his silvery eyes. “And why would a werewolf want to leave the place where he can live among those who accept him?”

Cleo gasped. “You can tell that Luke is a werewolf?”

“I am something of an expert on the subject of lycanthropy,” said the author. “There are ways of knowing a werewolf when you see one.”

“It’s not for me,” continued Luke. “It’s for my mum and dad.” He told Samuel Skipstone about how his family had arrived in Scream Street. He explained how scared his parents were and how, even though he had made friends here, he didn’t want to put his parents through the ordeal any longer.

When Luke had finished speaking, Skipstone remained quiet for a moment, then spoke softly. “It is a noble quest to leave the place where you belong for the sake of those you love. I will help all I can.”

“You’ll tell me how to take my parents home?” exclaimed Luke.

“It is not that simple,” replied Skipstone. “Only the six founding fathers of Scream Street have the power to make such a thing possible.”

“Founding fathers?” said Cleo. “Like Count Negatov?”

“Indeed,” said Skipstone. “Allow me to introduce them…”
