Original Novel #4: Behind the Locked Door
"It
hadn't occurred to him that he might be putting himself in serious
danger. Not until now."
Mark
Prescott's imagination is going wild. He knows his friend John Avery
Whittaker (Whit) keeps his attic door locked. But why? What's hidden
up there and protected so carefully?
Invited
to stay with Whit while his parents are in Washington, D.C., Mark
grows curious when Whit forbids him to enter the attic. Fueled by
thriller comic books, his mind conjures up dark possibilities. Along
with them grows a determination to get beyond the locked door and
learn Whit's secret.
How
will Mark gain entrance? What will he find once he does? As he answers
those questions, he learns hard lessons about trust, honesty, and the
need to guard his thoughts.

Fans of the long-running audio series
Adventures in Odyssey can hardly remember a time when there wasn't a
Connie or a Eugene--or an Imagination Station. But there was. Now step
back in time as these exciting novels whisk you away to the days before
the popular radio show. Set in a time before the radio show, these
stories often reference the beginnings of inventions like the
Imagination Station, familiar characters like the Barclays coming to
town, and other AIO references that fans enjoy.
This novel is no longer available,
however, this book has been re-released in a new multivolume
edition, Strange
Journey Back.
