Once again, Geron Kees has come up with a wonderful Halloween story to go with the rest of the Charlie Boone holiday series.  First the link to the story, then the comments.

http://iomfats.org/storyshelf/hosted/geron-kees/charlie-boon e/11.html

First, it was good to see that Kippy's parents now approve of the guys being gay.  That had not been explicitly stated in the first ten chapters, as I recall.

Second, when reading about Charlie on the way to Kip's home, all all four of the guys only children?  It is pretty well implied that Charlie and Adrian are, but it has not been firmly established that Ricky and Kippy are only children (though events teen to imply that they are.

Third, when Pacha and Mike appeared in Kippy's room near the beginning of the story, Pacha mentioned that he had learned teleportation well from Max.  When do we get to find out something Max or Pip or Frit or Keerby has learned from Pacha?

Fourth, I was glad to see that Kippy and Adrian both have a bit of skwish in them, according to Ragal, and that Charlie and Ricky have potential other abilities.  With Ricky's quick reflexes and dagger skills, as recounted in the previous chapter, it seem possible to me that sometime in the future he MIGHT become able to teleport/transfer/transition from one spatial location to another.

Fifth, I love the addition of Keerby.  I predict he may become a recurring character.

Sixth, I like how Illia and Onglet were featured more, in addition to having Murcha assist again.  Also, when do we get to see Bob Travers again?  After all, he has met Max and Nicholaas and the Twombly elves; he would be more understanding of outer space that most of the relatives of the boys.

I will guess that Ragal and Casper will be recurring characters.  Hooray!

When do we get to see what Pip is extra good with in the way of ka/magic?  It would appear Frit is inheriting some of the movement/force talent that Max has, while Keerby is a whiz with time.  What is Pip's specialty? 

Looking forward to the next eleven plus chapters of Charlie and company!  Thanks, Geron, for the enjoyable stories.
