Have you ever wondered where the other sock goes, or those keys or your earring or pen? Grandad wonders that all the time.

Things keep disappearing down the back of Grandad's sofa -- who, or what, has taken them?

When Lenny and Grandad discover the Kleptoes and their hideout, things turn nasty. And Kleptoes can be very nasty indeed ... especially Old Mother Kleptoe.

Flyer number 13


Lenny and Mad Grandad buy a flying saucer and shoot into space together. Space is full of all sorts of creatures: some are friendly, some are not so friendly ...

Getting into space is easy. Getting home again -- alive -- is going to be a lot harder!

Lenny goes fishing with his grandad, and he is amazed when they drag up a mermaid in her car! But then they find there is much, much worse waiting for them in the deep and dirty river ...

They all end up fleeing from a crazy fisherman who wants to trap the mermaid.

A fun tale about adventure, danger and the mutant river!


Mad grandad has a new robot gardener. No more weeding or cutting the grass for Grandad. But the robot has other plans. In the dark of night, it starts a garden of its own and Lenny and Grandad wake up to a nasty surprise!


Grandad and Lenny are trying to paint the living-room. But Grandad’s paint is very old and it’s gone quite strange. It has stripes and patterns in it…..

At first it seems like fun to make pictures with this weird paint. Lenny calls his picture ‘Fang’ because it looks like a creature, and Grandad calls his ‘Mildred’.

Lenny and Grandad decide to hang their pictures on the wall and go in search of frames. But when they return the pictures have disappeared. It looks like they’ve been stolen, but then they realise something else has happened....

That’s when things start to go terribly, terribly wrong…
