It never occurred to me that searching for the secret academy would become dangerous.  I wasn’t prepared for this and now I’m not sure what to do.

I’m sitting in a late night coffee shop writing this.  Too scared to go to sleep.  Maybe I’ll drive around for a while.  I’ve been taking quick naps during the day in busy places.  Makes me feel a little safer.

I’m still trying to figure out why someone would break into my car and only steal the comic book?  I visited a bunch of comic book stores today to see if I could find a replacement.  Really weird.  I couldn’t find one anywhere.  Every store I went into said they’d never even heard of it.

Oh, and still no closer to solving the comic book ad.  Please send me any clues you might have discovered.  I could use the help and the company.

Suddenly my dream is feeling more like a nightmare.

I decided to post everything I’ve got connected to finding the Secret Academy.  Maybe there’s a clue in this stuff…somewhere.

I feel so close and so far away at the same time.

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

The front of the card I found in the mysterious book…

The back of the card…

And the pages of the mysterious book itself.

Left page…

and right page.

Oh, and here’s the note that came with the book.  Not much to it…but just in case.

I think there may be more to these weird letters but I can’t figure out how to decipher it.  Here’s the page…

What does it mean?

Anybody out there seen anything like this before?  Leave a comment if you have, I could use help figuring it out.

Oh, almost forgot!  I scanned the page before I discovered the seal on the ad had a message underneath it.
