Professor Sparks

Professor Spark is character from JumpStart 3rd Grade who seems to be a world-famous inventor living inside Mystery Mountain, which he fills with countless strange inventions. He is also father to Polly Spark & the creator of Botley. Polly's mother is never mentioned (and possibly deceased), though Professor Spark's mother (Polly's paternal grandmother) is. Professor Spark's mother is described, by Polly, as cooking "odoriferous" sausages, but, since Polly speaks of her in the past tense, it suggests that she is also no longer living.

Although Polly seems to be spoiled, Professor Spark does not appear to be particularly doting. In fact, he is implied to be rather strict, especially with regards to the Time Machine, & he is often evoked to be a mysterious, though benevolent, figure. He appears with a lab coat, glasses like his daughter's, black hair & a beard. He only appears in person at the conclusions of JumpStart 3rd Grade & JumpStart Typing, although a giant portrait of him & Polly can be seen on Mystery Mountain's first floor in 3rd Grade which spins when clicked on.
