I'm Natalie Johnson and I'm a daydreamer. I get teased alot at school. So what better way to escape than design my own day dream adventures?
Except lately, well, they don't turn out like I planned. It's almost like my daydreams have a mind of their own.
When I was a little kid, I'd sit in Buckle's Gifts and listen to Mr. Buckle tell stories for hours. He has the type of books that smell old, wise, and leathery. I'd hate it when I had to go home. Really. I did. Sometimes when I think of all those afternoons and how I laughed, I wish I was 8 again.
Mr. Buckle himself, well, he's kind of distinguished, which means he wears suits and drinks alot of tea. Sometimes you'll catch him out at night in places you'd never expect, and always has his pocket-watch in hand. It's almost like he's looking for something.
