Charlie Peach's Pumpkins and other stories

Charlie Peach's Pumpkins and other stories' is Jenny Sanders' second collection of six humorous tales. Once again, she treats her readers to quirky characters and another abundance of welcome nonsense. This time, you'll be taken from a disastrous garden experiment which finds success from an unlikely source, to the new ambassador's attempts to solve an international crisis in Carletia, and to a crumbling castle which threatens to wipe out the fortunes of the former residents. An enterprising skateboarder tries to save his grand-father's reputation with an impromptu wine-tasting session; the monarchy in Sloping-Sideways explore solutions to their secret boredom; and an inventor looks to her famous heritage to help her godson escape his school bullies.
