Book Cover & Preview Text
In the tree house were other friends of Johnny and Bleep. Beside the door, there stood a tin soldier named “Tin.” Tin had one leg. Tin always stood at attention beside the door. His job was to guard the door and ask for the “password.” The password was a secret word and those who did not know it could not enter. Only Johnny knew the password. When Johnny would bring over friends they had to wait for Johnny to tell the password to Tin.
Tin wore a red uniform and always had a rifle with a bayonet in his right hand and resting on his left shoulder. Tin wore a black boot and a tall, red hat. He looked like one of the guards for the Queen of England. In fact, Tin spoke with a British accent.
