Time:
21st Century. Place:
Brooklyn, United States. Also known as:

"From now on, no one uses The Book. Unless it is an absolute emergency." Who would play Joe in a movie?
John Cusack, Will Smith or Leonardo Di Caprio. Hey, did Joe write this? Favorite ice cream:
Vanilla. Family:
He has a younger sister Anna, a mom who mostly works with books, and a dad. Joe, like most kids, has no idea what his dad does. He has an Uncle Joe, an ex-magician, and an Uncle Jack. Uncle Joe gave him a mysterious birthday present. Maybe you heard of it: The Book.
Fred's profile
Time:
21st Century. Place:
Brooklyn, United States. Also known as:
Fred the Freak. Not known as:

Snorbet Cragno bars. Not available in stores (yet).
Samantha's profile
Time:
22nd Century. Place:
Brooklyn, United States. Also known as:
Sam's Great Granddaughter. How might you describe her?
Unlike her great grandfather, Samantha is very socially adept. She makes friends easily, and keeps them for life (or for the school year, which is pretty much the same thing.) She knows intuitively who's mad at whom, whose feelings have been hurt, who needs a hug, who needs a kick in the pants. She's happy to administer most of these remedies. Likely to be covered in:
Marshmallow. When shopping for cat food, likely to buy:
Thumbtacks. Why?
Her robot cat likes thumbtacks. (You got a problem with that?) Likely to say:
"I'm great at yelling! Let's see, if I were a bear, I'd make a sound like, uh, SNEEROOOOOOOOOO! BWAAAAAEEEEEE! SNAR-HUNKA-HUNKA-RRRRRRRR!" How much is she like Sam?
Like her great grandfather, Samantha's a sucker for puzzles, and weird facts and phenomena. She's not a huge fan of school, though, since it keeps her inside too much. (Besides, it's borrriiinnnngg being so much smarter than everyone else.) Who would play Freddi in a movie?
Lalaine. Favorite ice cream:
Marshmallow. Not available in stores (yet).
Freddi's profile
Time:
22nd Century. Place:
Brooklyn, United States. Also known as:
Fred's Great Granddaughter. How might you describe her?
Not cool. Would she care?
Not much. Peeves:
She hates, in no particular order: dark rooms; closed spaces; snakes; flight (jet AND inter-planetary); water; heights; stairs; deserts; going too fast; going too slow. Anything else?
Spiders. Moths. And worms. First word:
Spoon. Likely to say:
"Stop it, all of you! You're going to rip the space-time continuum!"
"A jail cannot part true friends." Unlikely to say:
"On pourrait dire quelque chose d'analogue de Shakespeare, en tant qu'éducateur, pour les Anglais, de Goethe pour les Allemands, de Dante et Machiavel pour les Italiens" Why not?
She doesn't speak French that well. Who would play Freddi in a movie?
Phoebe from Friends. Favorite ice cream:
Zorgatts Extract. Not available in stores (yet).
Mad Jack's profile
I hate to do this but...
Time:
Several. Many. He's everywhere. And everywhen. Place:
New York, United States. Or Africa. Spain, maybe. Definitely Peru. Important, and Slightly Dire, Warning:
Watch out for Mad Jack! (He's not called "Mad" for nothing, you know.) Whether he's lurking in the shadows or wandering about freely being mad, he's up to no good. Why's he so mad? As far as we can tell, it's something to do with his goal of becoming "the ruler of all space and time." Either that, or his monocle gives him a rash. Good at:
Sneering, chortling, and mwoo-hoo-ha-ha-ing. Claim to fame:
World Mustache Champion, Gold Medal round, 986 BC, AD 117, 1482, 1817, 2012, and 2054. What else do we know about him?
We found the following in Joe's diary. Not that we were looking in Joe's diary. It just fell open when we were cleaning it. We swear.
"When my Uncle Joe still owned The Book, his brother Jack borrowed it. Or so I'm told. He apparently only had it for about three minutes. But in those 180 seconds, he used it to go back and forth across time and space, stealing objects to sell. Arriving the split second he had left, he would leave again having hidden stuff in the sofa or in the cat's litter box. And then he was off again in a puff of green smoke. If we don't return these objects, the time space continuum may fracture, causing an implosion of all matter, destroying everything we know, have known, or will ever know. Needless to say, I will be SO grounded if that happens."
Oh, yeah: and he's trying to become the ruler of all space and time. We mustn't forget that. Favorite ice cream:
Time and Space Domination Crunch (with rainbow sprinkles).
Anna's profile
Time:
21st Century. Place:
Brooklyn, United States. Also known as:
Joe's kid sister. How much attention Joe pays to her:
Very little. How much attention he should pay to her:
A lot more. She seems to have a very different relationship with The Book. Anna is very gifted when it comes to magic. She doesn't know why. She suspects that ALL the women in her family are gifted, though most of them take great pains not to show it.
Anna is very bright; she's learned a lot about the world by observing the people around her. (Joe would call it spying.) Anna doesn't have many friends of her own, mostly because she really isn't interested in playing with dolls or karaoke-ing to teen bands. She'd rather pilot a boat down the Nile. (Or spy on her brother.) Likely to say:
"You just kiss my feet and say, "I'm not worthy."" Also likely to say:
"I borrowed your Book and ended up here and then The Book sort of broke, and I couldn't get back home..." To which Joe would say:
"Are you kidding me? You touched my Book?! You went in MY ROOM?!" Who would play Anna in a movie?
Natalie Portman. Favorite ice cream:
Rainbow sherbet.
