The Adventures of Garfield & Kathryn II Barbara Lona

Welcome Back to The Island of the Crocus. #2 of Travel Adventure Series. Garfield and Kathryn wonder when, and if, but especially 'Where' another adventure could take them. The Red Barn sits silent. John, the Goodwill Ambassador of the Island leaves for Afghanistan. Will the door be reopened? Concern for their uncle's safety is the main priority as the children stay involved in the busy tourist season. The Island has Specialty Shops with handcrafted items. They have Bicycle Tours along the coastline, past an old Watchtower castle and the fields of Crocus plants, leading to the Lighthouse on the hill.
Garfield and Kathryn sell items and cantaloupe water to visiting shoppers and thirsty tour riders.
All Island residents perform specific duties in turn. These are the ways the Island stays Self-sufficient, plus
The Crocus flower requires monitoring to acquire the best Saffron product for the Fall bartering sessions with Protective Allies from other countries.
Could the possibility of travel return?
Afghanistan is different from the Island, but meeting friends there teaches Garfield and Kathryn that all people may be different, but are the same, and all have qualities to offer, share, and learn.
