Cover of Wally Whifflepuff

Wally Whifflepuff

Wally Whifflepuff is a walking disaster — his knees wobble like jellyfish, his elbows wave at strangers, and his house is padded with sofa cushions for everyone's safety. But when a simple turnip delivery goes spectacularly wrong and a bronze statue goes flying, Wally stumbles into the biggest, crashiest, most accidentally heroic adventure Blunderburg has ever seen. Hold on to your turnips.

The Tremendous Wobble of the Wibble-Blob

A Comedy Adventure

In Clockwork Crumble, feelings are strictly timetabled, fun is practically illegal, and Comptroller Starch hasn't cracked a smile since 1987. Eleven-year-old Ned Noodlewick and his heroic hamster Admiral Crouton are the only ones who think this is completely bonkers. Then something wobbly, blobby, and magnificently chaotic arrives — and Clockwork Crumble will never tick the same way again.

The Baffling Bubblegum Beast

A Comedy Adventure

Giant pink blobs are oozing through Sweetwhistle, and the grown-ups are blaming children (as usual). But twelve-year-old Mia Muddlepuck has spotted something the adults haven't — the blobs grow bigger every time someone grumbles, and one of them just squeaked at her. Can Mia crack the gloopy mystery before the whole town gets stuck for good?

Cover of Muffin Man

Muffin Man

Sammy Sprocket thought the villain business was over — until a secret message turned up baked inside his breakfast muffin. Now Sammy and his crumb-detecting best friend Penny must follow a trail of clues, catastrophic baking, and impending doom before Jellybean Junction gets itself into another sticky mess. Whatever you do, don't trust the muffins.

The Bothersome Bubbles

A Floaty Factory Adventure

When the Pufferton Floaty Factory starts belching out bubbles that shimmer in colours nobody's ever seen before, Blunderburg-Upon-Fizz wakes up to floating cats, bobbing lampposts, and a mystery that smells of lemonade and pencil shavings. Twelve-year-old Clementine Snodgrass has her notebook ready and her best yellow wellies on — because somebody needs to find out what's inside those bubbles before the whole town drifts away.

Cover of The Dastardly Doughnuts of Dr. Dipple's Diner

The Dastardly Doughnuts of Dr. Dipple's Diner

Gigglefest is ruined, the whoopee cushions are flat, and every grown-up in Jellybean Junction is queuing for doughnuts with a glazed look in their eyes. Sammy Sprocket knows something is horribly, stickily wrong — especially when his best friend Penny, who once called doughnuts 'sugar-coated tyranny,' tells him to try one. Behind the counter, the dastardly Dr. Dipple is cooking up something far worse than pastry.

Cover of The Grumbling Gobstoppers

The Grumbling Gobstoppers

A Sugary Mystery Adventure

Sweetwhistle-on-Toffee makes the finest gobstoppers in the world — until the gobstoppers start grumbling back. Eleven-year-old Pippa Muddlepuck, armed with her yellow notebook and far too much cleverness for the grown-ups' liking, is the only one who notices that something in this sticky little town doesn't add up. When sweets start telling the truth, some very important people have a lot to worry about.

Cover of The Marvellous Misbehaving Clocks

The Marvellous Misbehaving Clocks

A Tick-Tocking Time Adventure

Every clock in Cogglesworth Hollow has gone barmy — ticking backwards, hiccupping, and making Tuesday feel suspiciously like last Thursday. Eleven-year-old Wendell Sprocket, keeper of the Book of Suspicious Things, is on the case. But when time itself starts misbehaving, how do you solve a mystery before it's already un-happened?

Cover of The Peculiar Pickles

The Peculiar Pickles

A Briny Brouhaha Adventure

Gherkinford-by-the-Sea is a town drowning in vinegar, pickle parades, and not a single sensible adult. So when a jar of pickles whispers 'PSSST' at eleven-year-old Wendell Snodgrass, he does what any too-clever-for-his-own-good boy would do — he listens. What the pickles have to say is going to turn this briny little kingdom upside down.

Cover of The Whispering Wallpaper

The Whispering Wallpaper

A Mysterious Museum Adventure

When a wheezing lorry delivers rolls of ancient wallpaper to Blunderburg's Museum of Curiosities, twelve-year-old Clementine Muddlepuck smells trouble (and possibly a very small ghost). She's got her notebook, her chipped front tooth, and a firm suspicion that whispery things are almost never good things. Whatever's hidden in those dusty old rolls, it's about to peel itself right off the walls.

Cover of The Whispering Wellies

The Whispering Wellies

A Squelchy Seaside Adventure

Sprinkleton-on-Sea is a town absolutely stuffed with secrets — the mayor's wig looks like a startled badger, and the postman reads everyone's postcards. But when a mysterious crate marked 'HANDLE WITH HONESTY' washes up on the beach, ten-year-old Barnaby Whifflepuff discovers that some secrets are far stranger than dodgy scones and pretend extra legs. Something in that crate is whispering, and it wants the truth.
