Alfie Green and the Magical Gift

by Joe O'Brien

Published 10 September 2005

A rusty key opens a dusty box hidden in Alfie's grandad's shed. Inside is an old, old book -- with magical powers. The book promises Alfie a gift, but first he must take the crystal flower across Sleepy Meadows full of Snapping Dragons to the crooked tree that is guarded by Giant Hogweeds. If Alfie succeeds he will be able to do something he has never done before!

The first book in the Alfie Green series: now in paperback.


The circus has come to town. But it's no ordinary circus, it's Monty's Marvellous Monkey Circus and all the performers are monkeys! All the kids from Budsville are really excited, except for Alfie who suspects all is not what it seems ...

It’s Christmas Eve in Budsville and Alfie Green wishes it would snow.

There is one person who can help his wish come true – the Snowdrop Queen. But she lives near the top of the Perilous Peaks in Arcania. This is a place too dangerous for his friends, the tools, who often help him on his adventures in Arcania. So how can Alfie get there? Maybe Santa will help…


Alfie Green and the Fly-Trapper

by Joe O'Brien

Published 1 September 2006

Alfie's house is invaded by flies. His fly-trap plant is too small to eat them all so the wise old plant uses magic to make it bigger.

Then it gets BIGGER and BIGGER and BIGGER. Nothing is safe! Alfie decides the only place for the Giant Fly Trapper is in the Belching Bogs in Arcania.

But to get there he must outwit the creatures of the Nanabur Mines and the deadly worm monster.

Alfie Green and the Fly-Trapper is the fourth book in the Alfie Green series.


When the Emerald Cactus in the Desert of Doom explodes, Budsville is covered in sparkling green sand ...

Soon the evil Desert Elves will arrive on their Scorpion Chariots. How can Alfie stop them?

A very special lawnmower hidden in a secret subway under Grandad’s shed might do the trick – and it might help Alfie and Fitzer in the go-kart race, too!


Hundreds of tiny eyes peep up at Alfie Green from the sink in his garden. Frogs! Who invited them? And when the frogs tell their friends and relations about their great new swimming pool, the place is invaded. Alfie needs help -- fast. This is a job for the magic book that Alfie has inherited from his granddad. And the magic book comes up with a very unusual way of solving Alfie's problem.

Budsville's chocolate fair cancelled? No way, Alfie decides. The wise old plant tells him of the Roaring Rainforest in Arcania where he can collect chocolate seeds. But it won't be easy. Alfie first has to brave the vicious Spider Plants and the Forest Ogre. And even if he escapes from them, the Chocolate Vine is waiting to catapult him through the gateway of the Chocolate Cosmos. Not even his crystal orchid will be able to save him then.
