Superzeroes

Two new Grizzly Tales books are out on July 1st.

Grizzly Tales 7. The Gnaughty Gnomes of "NO!" by Jamie Rix
Grizzly Tales 8. Superzeroes by Jamie Rix

Away from the Hothell Darkness ('You'll never leave ...') we book our passage on a rusting hulk at the bottom of the ocean floor, The Hard Ship Grizzly. Read and weep the tales of the wicked children who were too naughty, too selfish, too rude or just ... too much.

Also out on July 1st is the 6th Audio book in the series.
The Me Monsters 3.2.

Grizzliness is out there. Every child has the makings of mischievousness, and can be lured into committing dastardly deeds. The three stories on each of the Grizzly Tales CDs show the rise and hard fall of vile and villainous children. The third title in the all-new Grizzly Tales series captures the crimes of the 'ME!' monsters - those vain, selfish, greedy little children who want only the best for themselves, usually at the expense of everyone else. Hear the shrill explosion of breaking glass as all those mirrors shatter one by one! Stories: The Blood Doctor, The Ugly Prince and Big Head

Off on my holls.

I'm off on holiday, so the current run of Grizzly has come to an end on CITV, but it will be back soon. I'll let you know when it's back on air.
