Characters

Jacob
Being the littlest of five children, Jacob’s life is slightly challenging. He always finds himself left out of his siblings’ activities and constantly believes the tall tales they often tell him. When Jacob encounters a difficult situation, his first steps are often taken alone – not only must he solve the problem at hand, he must find and convince others to help him. His most reliable support, for his wacky adventures, comes from his best friend Buford, and his new neighbour X. Barnaby Dinglebat, a globe-trotting international spy. And then there’s Renée “Rattlesnake” Ratelle, a feisty little girl from Jacob’s school.

The Family
Jacob’s large and busy family is a whirlwind that frequently leaves Jacob in its dust. Jacob’s parents and siblings love him dearly but they don’t always have time to listen to his fantastic stories. Is it any wonder that they still think of Jacob as the baby of the family? When Jacob accomplishes something grand, or has a secret he can’t divulge, he holds a sudden interest for his siblings, but such victories are short?lived.

X. Barnaby Dignlebat
On the surface, Jacob’s next door neighbour is a mild-mannered meter reader for the Montreal Gas Company. X. Barnaby Dinglebat lets a wide?eyed Jacob in on his secret profession: he’s really a globetrotting, freewheeling international spy! His outlandish disguises never actually conceal his true identity, but Jacob is a true believer in all of Barnaby’s wild stories.

Buford Orville Gaylord Pugh
An odd little kid with a string of unfortunate names, Buford is gifted with truly zen-like contentment. His lack of anxiety and worries aren’t due to a lack of intelligence - they’re more due to his basic inability to FOCUS. Buford is constantly distracted by the most inane things, but sometimes this comes in very handy!
