Search all things, hold fast that which is true, Take heed of many, the advice of few, And always paddle your own canoe. From Favorite Proverbs as collected and compiled by J. Goodfellow, London, 1949 Sam does not appreciate having to leave his home, his friends and his backyard insect paradise just because his parents are realizing their life-long dream of opening an art gallery in a new town. But after making the move to Dullsville, Sam's life soon takes a very interesting turn. Sam's parents have just purchased a creaky old house that used to belong to a batty old professor who just up and vanished one day. On Sam's first night in his new/old house, the Fate's reveal that they have something very interesting in store - something, or someone, who is about to change the very course of his life. Join Sam and the ubiquitous Mr. Goodfellow as they travel through time and space to combat the forces of evil and help good win out over all. Their adventures soon find them fighting off the horrible swampy Fens, the evil Prof. Mandrake, his nasty son Basil and all manner of things in a desperate attempt to save the future. The Sacred Seal is the first book in a trilogy that follows the adventures of an odd assortment of friends and foes. A fantastically imagined and fully realized story, The Goodfellow Chronicles is sure to captivate young audiences with its epic tales of adventure and mystery.
