One day, all the mice in a town only famous for the world's biggest ball of wool stand bolt upright! A flying saucer from outer space, full of alien cats intent on shrinking all the cows and stealing them away, has landed. A young girl, Jilly McCafferty, and her friends have a plan to scare the cats away. Hilarious fun.
Our story is about Hercules. Not the mighty Greek God, but a pet hamster who is a small, fluffy, lazy litle slob. How strange, then, that this little fellow is able to stomp through town, scare people and crush cars!
Judd Crank and his friend Zak are two ordinary boys, in an ordinary town, with some very ordinary goldfish. Who would have thought that these little goldfish would become great monsters and step right out of their tank and into town - looking for trouble?
Sammy and Tammy love the quiet Boggy Marshes full of insects and strange plants, but Maximus Sneer, an evil man with lots of money, has a secret plan to drain the Marshes and build shops and car parks. But instead of creating a shopping centre, he creates two gigantic monsters without even knowing it!
Have you ever had a pet? Jenny has cockroaches. Unfortunately, her dad can't wait to exterminate every single cockroach in the town. One night, some very irresponsible aliens dump their food waste on earth and people actually begin to turn into giant grapes. How lucky then that Jenny's extraordinary pet roaches are here to save the world!
