Summer 2017 Session I: Midcoast Trolls

"Midcoast Trolls" by R. L. McNulty, 2017
The first session of the Summer 2017 season features a new adventure inspired by last year's troll mystery. My photographic explorations of trolls in the Midcoast area convinced me that trolls are not confined to Scandinavian shores. This was further confirmed by the father-daughter team of troll experts, Bradford and Ingrid Bowman, who shared their theories about troll migrations to Maine.

The result: Session I, "Midcoast Trolls," July 3 thru 7 (closed on July 4), a 4-day mystery for ages 6 to 9.

In this new adventure, two troll friends return to ask the Detectives for help finding their long-lost cousin, a sea troll last seen wading off the coast of Norway. The clues lead back to the shores of Maine, where the Detectives discover that trolls have been immigrating to the US for centuries. Let’s hope they’re all friendly. And vegetarian. And while we’re wishing, let’s hope they’re all friends of dragons.

Our projects include Tomtes and sea troll slime. One can’t have enough troll slime.
