The Tree Of Ticket Leaves

by Larry Good

Overview

Sadly, Meri's parents cannot take her on their trip to England when she suddenly becomes ill. By coincidence, the next morning she meets the Tackling Dummy at the Practice Field. He also needs to go to England for new canvas, because his is now badly damaged from so many tackles. Walking along, they see a strange, intriguing ticket---or is it a leaf?---on the ground, and both reach for it at the same time. Bumping heads, they accidentally tear it in half. They have no idea it's a leaf from The Tree of Ticket Leaves!! It takes them immediately to The Autumnforest, which is in The Lands.
A Buffalo Unicorn is standing right behind them!

About the Author

Larry Good grew up in Nottoway County, Virginia. Blackstone High School awarded him a diploma, the University of Virginia a B.A. in English, and the College of William and Mary a Master's Degree in Education. He was a young English teacher for about six years. He has four incomparable children.
He played football in high school, both offense and defense. The team won a regional championship. Practice was four afternoons a week, and it sometimes included tackling drills. These can be rough. The Tackling Dummy stepped forth from these experiences, desperately needing new canvas and a place to be.
Making only about 8,000 dollars a year as a young teacher, the author was offered the position of management trainee by the C & P Telephone Company. The large office was full of service representatives answering telephone calls from customers. If the man of the house called, the service representative began her record with the abbreviation, "mr cld." This was the origin of The Mistercald River, which flows through the middle of The Lands in this Series, "Across The Mistercald."
