The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey: Radioactive! by Wallace E Briggs

Jimmy Crikey, the orphaned alien chose to make his life in Roombelow, on Earth. He is not magical, but he has unique skills that come in useful when his friends need help.
Roombelow suffers from the after-effects of the rock-chewing Scarab beatles and even the Aquamites’ world was crumbling.
A hole appeared in the Aquamites’ Emerald Lake. The lake began to empty and thirty Aquamites were swept away to end up in the lake of the Tritians.
Rescue cannot come soon enough because the Tritians live in a radioactive environment that poisons the young Aquamites, and Jimmy’s close friend Annison is in trouble.
Jimmy organised rescue for the young Aquamites by his advanced, home race from the star world of Attalia. Twenty-eight Aquamites were saved, but one was beyond help. Annison refused assistance until all her friends were treated. As a result, Annison slipped into a coma from which the Attalians could not revive her.
Annison is doomed to a living death unless Jimmy can call upon aid from a higher authority.

The Girl of Ivory

About The Girl of Ivory:

In this vivid picture book, a lonely boy’s prayers for a companion lead him down a path of good versus evil. After growing impatient waiting for the Lord’s answer, he discovers an old magazine in his grandfather’s attic and calls a mysterious hotline promising to help him find a friend. The very next day, a package arrives with a single seed and a note instructing him to bury and water it. Obeying the instructions, the boy plants the seed, and within days, it grows into a striking ivory plant—inside of which is a little girl, the same age as him.

The two quickly become best friends, but the note that came with the seed had warned of a blood moon, a warning the boy chose to ignore. Their happiness is short-lived, as the girl suddenly disappears, leaving the boy heartbroken and searching everywhere for her.

One night, there is a knock at the door, and the girl returns—but not as the friend he once knew. She has transformed into a terrifying creature. Now, the boy must confront the consequences of his actions and protect his family from the nightmare he unwittingly unleashed.

The moral of the story is clear: listen to God and trust in His timing, for impatience and the temptation to take matters into our own hands can lead to dangerous consequences. This tale teaches the importance of faith, patience, and the perils of straying from the righteous path.

Steven F Seagull & The Missing Chips

About Steven F Seagull & The Missing Chips:

In Chips We Trust
In the seaside town of Fry Cove, the seagull inhabitants enjoy plentiful chips, especially in the high season when the delightful bay is full of tourists. Steven Fitzgerald, a lowly member of the chip reconnaissance team, wishes he wasn’t so useless at his job, but he dreams of becoming an entrepreneur. However, one day, the chips mysteriously disappear, and no one knows the answer to this chipocalypse.

Who committed this heinous crime? Was it the Deny the Fry colony, who want all seagulls to quit chips and revert to eating fish as nature intended? Or was it the seagull mafia boss, Stefano Giacomo, who has concocted a dastardly plot to convert all seagulls to pizza and pasta?

As part of the newly formed CIA (Chips Investigation Agency), whose motto is ‘In Chips We Trust,’ Fitzy, Charlie, Steven Colton, the karate chopping Bart, and Steven Rhys pit their wits to solve the mystery. Along the way, they make enemies and forge alliances with a range of quirky characters.

Join Fitzy in this feel good tale about self-belief and teamwork, while he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime.
