Perfect fodder for boys in particular and if you have a reluctant reader then the Slime Squad is great too. Slimy all action adventure fills the pages as a scientific dream gone wrong results in an old rubbish tip becoming home to monsters and giants. Crime lurks everywhere and it's up to Plog and the rest of the Slime Squad to fight crime with slime!
Mad scientist Godfrey Gunk had a dream - a dream of creating a whole safari park of monsters on an old rubbish dump. It didn't work. Little did Godfrey know that actually after he left the rubbish dump, his dream came true...Meet the inhabitants of Trashland, a whole world of different types of slimy monsters who all live peacefully alongside each other - at least they used to...Now giant, fire-breathing sock monsters are on the hunt for Trashland's filthiest and foulest fashion - to build a whole army of stinking socks!
