About the Author:
Shell Christine grew up on Tucker road right next to a Buffalo farm, on a small dead end street in the house her dad built.
Tucker road was the kind of place, where all the neighbors knew your name, and all the kids were homeschooled and spent their days playing outside until the street lamps came on.
It was a quiet childhood, where you bartered with your neighbors for what you needed, and there were no technology distractions to mess with your day. Though Shell grew up with seven siblings, there were more animals on the Conner farm then people, which is exactly what she wanted.
It was here on Tucker Road, Shell first discovered her love of writing and art at the young age of five.Though Shelly Conners is all grown up now, and resides in the beautiful state of Florida with her wonderful husband Brendon, and fur baby Sir Winston Pooh Bear, she never outgrew her love for writing, art, and her whimsical imagination. If she is not going to Disney with her love, worshiping Jesus in church, or traveling the world, you can find her most days in her favorite coffee shop sipping a matcha latte, where she is striving every day to change the world one story at a time- Shell Christine
My Love, Brendon

Dear Diary,
Today was magical!
It was a chore day for the kids on the farm,
so while they were busy raking up these big piles of leaves, Doggy boy and I and the other animals go to play in them! Having spent most of my life in the orphanage, I had no idea life on the outside could be so beautiful! This time of year is my new favorite! I heard Shelly giggling with her sister Kat about something called Turkey day next week? So apparently Grandma Watson comes over and cooks this big meal while the kids play dress up and pretend to be pilgrims and Indians. I just found out that the holiday we are celebrating is called Thanksgiving and it's a time that we thank God for all our blessings! So the kids dressing up part is to remember the first thanksgiving where our ancestors came over from England on this big ship called the Mayflower, and almost starved because they didn't know how to farm! Then these nice Indians showed them how to grow food, and to thank them they had this big feast called Thanksgiving! You know the best part is, besides all the amazing food is that it's a holiday, so that means no school!
What are you most excited about this holiday season? I am thankful for my new family, new friends in the buffalo club, and for pecan pie my favorite! We are going to be so busy celebrating we might just have to take a little break from the mystery solving! But don't worry if we discover anything while on break or after, we will be sure to post any new clues in Dillon's Observation Station! So happy Thanksgiving everyone and be sure to thank the Indians, someone you love and to Thank God for all our blessings!

Dear Diary, it's me again, your good old friend Dillon. You don't even know how amazing it is to be out of that stuffy orphanage and to finally have a place that I can call home. The Connor farm is huge!!
Every day is an adventure! The children are so nice, and all the animals have accepted me as one of their own. They even let me join their secret club called the Buffalo Club. Did I tell you about the treasure that was buried on the family farm many years ago during the War? Still to this day it hasn't been found.
That is our first mission as a secret club to find this treasure!
Will you help us out? Your mission is simple keep an eye out for any clues I might post on here and see if you can solve them! Let us know what you find out!
There will be prizes for those of you who help figure out my clues and riddles first!!
You can find these clues on Dillon's Observation Station and please submit all your answers to me on my Contact page!
​
We can't wait to hear from you! Feel free to write to us as well about your club adventures too, and either myself or another club member will respond to you shortly!
In the meantime, always remember to Adventure ON!!!!
