Frown Clowns

The Frown Clowns are a group of people who work for Kalagan.

Description
The Frown Clowns are "misfits" of sorts, ranging in a wide variety of types and ages from small children to old seniors. Most, if not all, stick out in some way. They are loyal to (formerly) Bosso and to Kalagan and are the antagonists of the second book in the series. They also aren't above hurting others to get what they need or to do what they want/need to do.

History
The Frown Clowns are first seen by Carter Locke at B. B. Bosso's Circus carrying things. At that time, they had face paint on that made them appear to be frowning. They were thus named "Frown Clowns". They were later seen at the resort with Bosso, wearing their clown makeup from the neck up and regular swimwear from the neck down. Two of them were fanning Bosso and sweating heavily.

In Book 2, two of them played a role in Madame Esmeralda's performance at the Grand Oak Resort. Then, two of the Frown Clowns pretended to be Leila Vernon's biological parents, while a third pretended to be a lawyer. The whole scheme was revealed as a hoax, meant to trap the Vernon family and steal a ledger from Mr. Vernon. An ensuring battle occurred and the 7 frown clowns were sent to jail. It was also revealed they worked not for Bosso but for Kalagan. The clowns were traitors.

Trivia

 * The frown clowns have rhyming names, all except for Bob.
 * Carter's pet monkey, Change-O, was possibly working for the frown clowns after Bosso's capture.
