THE ALFIE GREEN SERIES BY JOE O’BRIEN
ALFIE GREEN AND THE MAGICAL GIFT
A rusty key opens a dusty box hidden in Alfie’s grandad’s shed. Inside is an old, old book — with magical powers. The book promises Alfie a gift, but first he must take the crystal flower across Sleepy Meadows full of Snapping Dragons to the crooked tree that is guarded by Giant Hogweeds. If Alfie succeeds he will be able to do something he has never done before!
ALFIE GREEN AND A SINK FULL OF FROGS
Hundreds of tiny eyes peep up at Alfie Green from the sink in his garden. Frogs! Who invited them? And when the frogs tell their friends and relations about their great new swimming pool, the place is invaded. Alfie needs help—fast. This is a job for the magic book that Alfie has inherited from his granddad. And the magic book comes up with a very unusual way of solving Alfie’s problem.
ALFIE GREEN AND THE BEE-BOTTLE GANG
Alfie is in big trouble. He stopped Whacker Walsh and his gang from trapping bees in the park and now they are out to get him. What can he do? The wise old plant in the magical book comes up with a plan that sends Alfie back to Arcania in search of the Queen Bee in Honeycomb Mountain. But first he has to survive an attack from the blazing bushes of Firethorn Valley!
ALFIE GREEN AND THE FLY-TRAPPER
Alfie’s house is invaded by flies. His fly-trap plant is too small to eat them all so the wise old plant uses magic to make it bigger. Then it gets BIGGER and BIGGER and BIGGER. Nothing is safe! Alfie decides the only place for the Giant Fly-Trapper is in the Belching Bogs in Arcania. But to get there he must outwit the creatures of the Nanabur Mines and the deadly worm monster.
ALFIE GREEN AND THE MONKEY PUZZLER
The circus has come to town. But it’s no ordinary circus, it’s Monty’s Marvellous Monkey Circus and all the performers are monkeys! All the kids from Budsville are really excited, except for Alfie who suspects all is not what it seems … Send for our full-colour catalogue
