Synopses

Bad Dad

Dads come in all sorts: fat and thin, tall and short, young and old, clever and stupid, silly and serious, loud and quiet. Among them are good dads and bad dads.

The Midnight Gang

After Tom is hit on the head by a cricket ball, he wakes up in Lord Funt Hospital and is met by a terrifying-looking porter. Things worsen when he encounters the wicked matron in charge of the children’s ward, before Tom sets off on a journey.

Grandpa's Great Escape

Grandpa was once a World War II flying ace, but he is sent to the old folks’ home Twilight Towers, run by the sinister Matron Swine. Grandpa and his grandson Jack plan a daring escape, while the matron begins to suspect what they are doing.

Awful Auntie

Stella Saxby is the sole heir to Saxby Hall, but Aunt Alberta and her giant owl are determined to take it from her. Stella has a secret, slightly spooky weapon to help her.

Demon Dentist

In the dead of night, strange things begin to happen. Children who leave a tooth under their pillow wake to find something creepy in its place, and someone or something is behind it.

Ratburger

Zoe tries to keep her beloved pet rat safe from Burt of Burt’s Burgers.

Gangsta Granny

Ben thinks his grandma is boring, spending her time playing Scrabble and eating cabbage soup. He then discovers two things he did not know about her: she was once an international jewel thief, and she has been planning to steal the Crown Jewels and needs Ben’s help.

Billionaire Boy

Joe has every reason to be happy, with about a billion of them. He has everything he could want, but there is one thing he really needs: a friend.

Mr Stink

Mr Stink stank, stunk, and would have “stinked” too, if that were correct English. There is more to this vagrant than meets the nose.

The Boy in the Dress

Dennis was different, and the title offers a clue as to why.
