BLINKER
It is the height of summer in Kruisem. Blinker, his dog Sadee and his friends Jonas and Mats are enjoying the school holidays together. They spend a lot of their time at the river near the castle grounds. They love playing in the boathouse and swimming in the water, but they have to be careful that the forester doesn’t catch them, because he’s liable to shoot at anything that Mrs. Slick, the castle’s housekeeper, finds suspicious. Once Blinker gets caught up in a chain underwater and, while he is frantically trying to free himself, he catches sight of what appears to be a skull on the riverbed. Mats manages to save him from drowning, and, once he has got his breath back, Blinker tells the others what he has seen. None of them believe him, and so Blinker, determined to prove it, secretly borrows his Dad’s expensive camera, transforms it into an underwater camera and goes down to the river once more. Unfortunately, the camera slips out of his hands and sinks down into the depths beyond his reach. To help Blinker find the money to buy his Dad a new camera, the boys all enter a ‘best invention’ competition. Their first creation, however, is cruelly destroyed by members of the Red Vampires, a motorbike gang who have got it in for Mats. What to do? The trio are really at a loss . . . What’s more, Turbo, Jonas’ dog, suddenly disappears one day. And he’s by no means the first dog that never returned from the castle grounds. Blinker begins to suspect that something’s afoot and, when his own dog, Sadee, doesn’t turn up either, Blinker is convinced that strange things are happening inside the castle. |
