Moonberry Pie is a collection of stories for carers to tell young children; but there are no pictures. Before continuing for the first time, anyone up for the challenge is invited to read the Introduction which provides a little guidance. Those who have no children, but just like a good story are welcome too.
Starlight and Moonshine begin a new, HUGE and very dangerous adventure!
BEFUDDLED! PART ONE
Professor Dib-Dob has taken his nephew Lord Nuff-Nuff, Captain Starlight and Colonel Moonshine on an expedition to find the place where Mamma Zeeta and her secret tribe the Pyth are said to have disappeared. Meanwhile, Joshua, Lucy and Danny are reading how the comic-book story unfolds; and Brunswick, Henshaw's pet mouse, is still stuck in the real world with them. As it happens it is as well he is. To see why, you'll have to read it yourself.
Come back next month for Part Two of BEFUDDLED!
More of the earlier stories:
THE QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN GASTROPOD STAGE ONE
Starlight and Moonshine have been asked to help Professor Dib-Dob with his Quest for the Golden Gastropod. Of course, Nuff-Nuff and Henshaw are there to support and arguing as usual. The quest is inscribed on an ancient scroll like a story which our heroes must act out exactly as written. The trouble is, these instructions aren't always easy to understand.
THE QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN GASTROPOD STAGE TWO
Danny is in big trouble. The Samurai are coming for him and he's lost his Moonberry Pie. As always, there is a plan to fix things which seems to be going right; for a while anyway; but although the next stage of the quest sounds pretty simple, it is anything but. And this time it is Captain Starlight who runs into danger.
Starlight and Moonshine have almost completed the Quest for the Golden Gastropod - almost!
THE QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN GASTROPOD STAGE THREE
Caught by man-eating plants, Captain Starlight desperately needs help and Lucy comes to the rescue; then it's on with the quest. As before, the words on the ancient scroll are a puzzle, but between them our comic-book heroes find solutions. What they don't seem able to do is complete the final stage; because the only entrance to the land of the Aysee Deesee is blocked.
THE AMAZING ROLLER GHOSTER Part One
Lucy, Danny and their family have gone to the fair which has a new ride - The Amazing Roller Ghoster. Danny convinces his parents to let him have a go, so he and his Dad embark on what should have been just a "mega-cool" experience. Instead, they find themselves in a life-threatening situation which only Starlight and Moonshine can save them from. The problem is: how to bring Starlight's ship from comic-book world into the real one.
THE AMAZING ROLLER GHOSTER Part Two
Trying to bring Starlight's ship into the real world hasn't worked; so Danny, his Dad and two young ladies remain trapped in the Amazing Roller Ghoster car which is dangling precariously high in the air, ready to fall any minute! The only solution Joshua can think of to rectify the problem is as yet untried. Will it work? There's only one way to find out...
THE HIDDEN TREASURE PART ONE
Lord Nuff-Nuff is obsessed with finding his ancestor Count Yum-Yum's treasure which was said to be hidden deep below Gumbyland Manor. Henshaw last saw him in the library, but now he has gone missing. The clues to his whereabouts may be in the directions noted in the Count's journal; but when our comic-book heroes ask for help from their friends in the real world, no-one realises how dangerous things will become.
THE HIDDEN TREASURE PART TWO
It transpires that Count Yum-Yum has set traps along the way for anyone trying to find his hidden treasure. The journal is the guide on how to avoid these traps, but Nuff-Nuff is still determined to locate the treasure, and his impatience causes all kinds of problems for everyone. Then, of course, they have to find Danny who is lost somewhere between comic-book world and the real world.
