| The Sun Thief by RL McNulty Micron Pen & Colored Pencil |
Our mystery will be "The Sun Thief "-- a story based on Cherokee myths about the sun, horned serpents and Grandmother Spider. These stories are traditionally told only during the winter months, when the horned serpents have returned to their watering holes. Tell these stories in the summer, and the serpents will hear you and send snakes after you.
This is another series of star myths that connect the workings of the winter and summer solstices with the cycles of the stars throughout the year. The detectives will learn which constellation represents the horned serpent and what web Grandmother Spider uses to bring back the sun each year.
It's the web that needs some repairs, so Merneith the Time Raveller will be training the Detectives in the dangerous work of Time Ravelling.
