We're excited to kick off the season with a little chill to your bones. Enjoy this spooky guest post and take a halloween ride into October!
Sammy the teddy bear is Gregory’s best friend in A Gregory Green Adventure series. In their latest adventure, Halloween Ride, Sammy befriends a witch’s broom. Only to Sammy does the broom reveal it has a face in its handle, and only for Sammy will the broom communicate.
How does a broom communicate, you ask? It taps it’s handle on the floor for yes or no, of course!
Sammy: Hello, Broom! I know you don’t have a voice, so knock once for “yes” and twice for “no,” okay?
Broom: *knocks once* Yes
Sammy: Were you always a
magical broom?
Broom: *knocks twice* No
*Sammy gasps* Sammy: You were an ordinary broom once?
Broom: *knocks once* Yes
Sammy: Did the witch buy you from a store?
Broom: *Knocks twice* No
*The broom hops over to Gregory’s desk and points its crooked handle at the trash can*
*Sammy covers his mouth with his paw*
Sammy: You were in the trash?
Broom: *Knocks once* Yes
Sammy: Was it because your
handle is crooked?
Broom: *Knocks once* Yes
*Feeling sad, Sammy pats the broom*
Sammy: So, the witch found
you, saw you were special, and made you magical?
Broom: *Knocks once* Yes
Sammy: Did it hurt when the witch made you come to life?
Broom: *Knocks twice* No
Sammy: It didn’t hurt me when I came to life, either.
*Sammy looks toward the bedroom door*
Sammy: Ssh. I haven’t told
Gregory that story yet. But I’ll tell you, and it’ll be our little secret.
*whispers to the broom*
One Halloween night, Gregory and his teddy bear Sammy go trick-or-treating, hoping for lots and lots of candy. But Sammy is scared of everything and is constantly asking, “What’s that?” Gregory gets annoyed until one of those things turns out to be a flying broomstick. And this broom wants them to go for a ride. Where will it take them?
