Chapters 18-22

So this is where things get crazier. The boys stumble on a carousal, that says it's out of order. But of course, Jim wants to investigate since its the only thing they haven't seen. Jim gets on a horse, and some man, out of no- where, grabs him and takes him off of the horse, and then grabs Will as he tries to help Jim. Then another man tells the first man to put the boys down. This man is really tall, and his suit seems to be made out of hair...He introduces himself as Mr. Dark, and the man who grabbed the boys, Mr.Cooger. Mr.Dark turns out to be the illustrated man, and shows Jim something with his arm tattoos. Mr. Dark seems fascinated with Jim, and vice versa. The men tell the boys to leave, and the boys run off, but hide in a tree to investigate.
So the merry go round starts up, with Mr. Cooger on it, going backwards. Each time they see Mr. Cooger go by, he gets younger and younger. Then the ride stops, and Mr. Cooger is twelve, and runs off. The boys follow after him.
So, as it turns out, little Mr. Cooger, is Miss Foley's nephew. Oh yes, how wonderful, some twelve year old boy is really some super serious man. Jim thinks its a good idea to go ring Miss Foley's doorbell, and Will tries to tell her, but Jim stops him. The little Mr. Cooger (AKA Robert) invites them to desert, which Will refuses, and so they plan on meeting up the next day. The boys go home, and when they get there, they're in a ton of trouble. Ahhh! Wait, something relatively important, Will figures out that the music on the carousel was the Funeral March played backwards. So the boys are eager to go back out. And theres like...a boardwalk that when one of them walks on it makes a song or something (I didn't understand it) but Will thought he heard Jim play his tune, but when he checked, Jim was just leaving his window. Will follows, as usual. And surprise surprise, Jim goes back to Miss Foley's house. Then Will and Jim get into a fight because Robert won't come out if Will's there....or something. Then Jim spits in Will's face, and they get into a fight. Robert comes out, and throws Miss Foley's jewelery at them and screams Help! Call the Police! Thieves...etc. And as Robert runs away, the boys chase, and now Miss Foley probably thinks that Jim and Will are thieves.
