Abenteuer

Welcome to Glendoch!Hidden to most, this glacial world once crackled with alchemy. Now it waits for war-divided and bound by strict rules. So when twelve-year-old Meylyne falls from a tree onto Glendoch's sickly prince, she must flee or face imprisonment in the Shadow-Cellars. The only way she may return home is with a cure for the prince's peculiar disease. Convinced she will perish, Meylyne and her companions embark on their journey-and before they know it, they are knee-deep in a plot to sink Glendoch into shadow, like other worlds before it. Poisoned guardians, cursed wizards, and cunning witch-spirits bound into wands are just some of the dangers that dot the way of their travels. And behind it all is the Thorn Queen. Mysteriously magnetic (or murderously vengeful, depending on whose side you're on), she is always one step ahead of them . . .

At the same time, her transformation into a Timeless begins; a process that could very well kill her. As if that wasnt enough, her enemies are still out for her blood, and nowhere is safe. Though new allies appear to protect her from the unseen dangers, which ones are friend and which are foe?And can Cheyenne stand the ultimate pain of all

It's grosser, weirder, funnier and even smellier than before! Take another brilliantly twisted adventure with Sam, Jared and little Miss 'dung daks' smelly Melly poop pants as they head off on holidays ... to the most dangerous place on the planet.

This time, adventure is snapping at their heels ... and they just might not be able to keep their stomach contents down.

Ready for another hilariously gross adventure? Then read on... For ages now, Sam and Jared had just thought of Agnath as being the 'slimey green booga of the country', the 'butt-crack of the world'... that all changed when they found out about the 'Lost Treasure.' But for Sam and Jared to find the lost treasure, first they will have to do the unthinkable; suck-up to Toffee Thomas... face unspeakable horrors, like the sight of Booga Boris streaking... come face to face with a giant, big, pink, grubby bunny with really bad yellowing 'BO' stains under its furry armpits... and much worse and much more. And just wait for the twist in this one!

Up for another hilariously gross adventure? Then read on... Sam and his best mate, Jared, are off on another Freaky adventure. Sam's been hard at work all summer trying to build up the world's largest, smelliest, grossest ball of toe jam from all of the cow poop, slug slime and sweat that's living between his toes. But when he uses Smelly Melly's toothbrush to try and dig out the huge dob of mouldy, smelly muck, well, let's just say ... it's not too happy about the move.

If it's fun and adventure you're looking for, then this ... is the book for you! Sam's life seemed to be heading down the toilet since his little sister, Miss 'I'm sooo good' Smelly Melly Prissy Pants was born. But in the 'sticks' of Agnath he found a best friend, Jared, a tall skinny red-head with a gazillion freckles. And when underground tunnels are discovered right below them, it's Sam that encounters the deadly inhabitants. These adventures are like no other you have ever shared. You'll feel as if you're right there with Sam as he discovers the shocking secret of the tunnels! And his mum is just as annoying as yours too!
