The old book surprised him.  The covers looked tattered and torn but inside the pages were perfect.  There were a few paragraphs about a hidden passageway in the Gingerbread House.  The rumors may bot have been false but he was going to try to locate it anyway.  Flashlight. Check.  Book. Check.  Extra flashlight. Check.  Chalk. Check.  “I’m ready and I will start in the library.”
