The Story of Gummy

Sebastian was a loner – he didn’t have friends at school, sometimes he was bullied. He had his computer, and the television, but it just wasn’t the same as having someone to talk to and his mum and dad were always too busy. Then along came ‘Gummy’…
Things were looking up! After all, it wasn’t everyone who had his own ‘ET’, and Gummy was oh so clever. Together with Ben, the new boy in school, the threesome would have fun beyond their wildest dreams. But when the time came, would Gummy really want to ‘phone a friend’ or simply ‘phone home’?

Johnny the Pookie

In a land steeped in legends where dreams mingle with reality, it’s wise to be cautious if you should come across a Pookie, treat him with respect – you can never be quite sure who he is!

Trapped in time, Pookies – whether they be Trolls, Leprechauns, Banshees or Faery Folk, all are spirits from the past – powerful creatures from the Otherworld. Some are more evil than others, most have the power to move between worlds but some just need a little help to find their way. Quite why Johnny the Pookie chose young Séamus Moran to help him is still a mystery.

Anyway, Séamus was eager to get a look at Tír na nÓg, the Land of Youth, on the promise he could easily return. What he didn’t bargain for was finding himself hurled into a mission to rid Dragonsrealm of the mighty Ice Giant, Lokil.
Powerful magical potions mix with a cocktail of bizarre creatures and gallant knights in an awesome adventure – will Séamus ever find his way home?

The Wigglers are a sweet-natured, gentle (if rather clumsy) race who live on the planet Oggle. But their peaceful existence is suddenly shattered when the war-like Wogglebots invade their land, laying everything to waste.
Forced to take flight in their wiggleships, the surviving Wigglers set off in search of a friendly planet to settle in, and think they have found a true haven in the place known as Earth… Then an accidental crash in Brazil heralds the Wigglers as aggressive invaders, and once again they must flee for their lives…
Imaginative and often hilarious, The Wigglers is a delightful children’s tale that should also entertain grown-ups.
