The Goof Off Club

The Adventures of the Goof Off Club

Meet the cast.

The club comes first. Each of us has a character in the books — Aaron's is the Adventure Hat, and Jason's and Chrissy's are being painted now.

Aaron's character

The Adventure Hat

Aaron Miller

A well-worn hat that has been everywhere the club has gone — the downpours, the wrong turns, the bus windows, the long way home. Whoever wears it starts to notice things: the small funny, brave details that turn an ordinary day into a story worth keeping.

The Hat doesn't do magic tricks. The magic is that families come home with something to tell — and the Hat is always along for it.

First seen in The Adventure Hat, the first Goof Off Club story, painted from real days.

Coming up next

More characters are on the way.

Jason and Chrissy get their own characters next, painted from real days the same way the Hat was.
