Sneak Peek: Episode 24 Goes Live Friday, August 13th!

Latest Exquisite Corpse Adventure Episode Written by Natalie Babbitt

In our last episode of The Exquisite Corpse Adventure 23 written by Patricia and Fredrick McKissack, Nancy, Joe, and Genius Kelly the pig consulted their directional-toe arrows and realized they had to go back to the beginning of the adventure, back to the train wreck. Their fellow travelers, Roberta the Robot, Hathi, Sybil the misfortune-teller, and Angel remained behind. After a discussion with some wolves, Nancy learned that Pirandello, the railway safety man, had possession of Roberta's missing head and a door. Pirandello traded the head for a chapter in the Exquisite Corpse Adventure, but refused to give up the door.

In Episode 24 by Natalie Babbitt, what do Nancy, Joe, and Genius Kelly find in the woods? Who is Doris? What's making all the noise? What's up with the blue door?
