Fast Food

Fast Food is an urban fairy tale featuring Billy, a young lad who hates running, the prime reason being his brother Joe, who is a champion athlete. They live in a tower block where Dad, the caretaker spends all his time fixing the lift and eating fry ups cooked by Mum. She has Billy on an extreme diet to cut his weight down to that of her darling Joe.

His only ally is Grandad who has plans for a fleet of peanut vendors on bicycles. He and a friend are going to run as giant peanuts in the London Marathon to advertise the new venture. Billy wants no part of this, what with Joe with a good chance of winning, a massive crowd by the roadside, and Mum and Dad watching on TV, forget it! But then he does a good deed and gets magic shoes…

Baker’s Boy

When a dragon attacks his village, baker’s boy Will suddenly becomes a hero and is summoned to the Palace. He knows the journey will be dangerous; he’ll meet giants, witches, bandits and a haughty talking cat named Smart. But he’s not prepared for his treatment at the Palace. How could a mere baker’s boy slay a dragon?

A sensible boy would have gone home then, before the King sent him on his first perilous mission: to kill the monstrous Spider of Yoot. But by now it’s too late. Will’s met the King’s beautiful daughter, and he has higher ambitions in mind.
