Grumpersticks

On a hilltop, overlooking the beautiful woodland, stands Grumpersticks, a grand old oak tree. He can oversee the entire woodland, its trees, and all of its natural beauty. He is surrounded by cheerful children, chirpy birds, and pleasant winds, yet, he is all alone. He does not want the children near him, the birds do not occupy him, and the winds only rattle his old skeleton because he is always grumpy and never lets anyone come close. Grumpersticks has everything to be happy about but is still so unhappy. Why is he so grumpy? Come along for the journey and you will see...

Grumpy Gramps

Grumpy Gramps can often be found taking an impromptu nap under a tree on a bright sunny day, when he believes he is away from prying eyes. However, his young grandchildren are often in hot pursuit to catch Grumpy up to his usual tricks. Grumpy is a cantankerous old chap who is shy of hard work and loves nothing better than getting the upper hand over his long-suffering family with whom he resides, his daughter Maggie and her three children Clara, Emma and William. They love having a day out together but these trips usually result in Grumpy getting into some kind of a scrape.

Happy! Scattered Birds

An era of magic users in the country of Spellstown has expanded to lengths uncontainable by the authorities. The monarchs of Spellstown, the Stellers, rule from the simple law of the nation: ‘The throne and land belong only to the strongest magic user who emits gold.’ However, although the Stellers have maintained the throne for over five generations, their golden magic and strength have faded with time, bringing forth an age where their legitimacy is questioned.

After being magically experimented on, Happy, a 15-year-old rogue sets on a path of revenge to find those responsible for her torture. With magic that clings to her and greets her as a friend, she stands as an enemy of the Stellers simply by existing. She is the crowned dog that those in the shadows root for. But Happy has other things in mind and will stop at nothing to bring those who have trampled over her and countless others to justice. Though, is she prepared to accept the corruption and evil that threaten to consume her?
