Wodge and Friends: Take the Stage 
Wodge and Friends #2

At the bottom of Miss Heatherbell’s garden lives the last Wodge in the world. Nancy and Dom’s photographer father is in the Antarctic, and Nancy and Dom are not. They’re staying with the eccentric Miss Heatherbell and her hordes offree-range guinea pigs. But Miss Heatherbell’s house is large and mysterious, full of surprising rooms, odd objects, and a creature called Wodge. With Miss Heatherbell and Mrs Pikelet soon leaving for Sydney, Nancy and Dom must deal with a veryannoying Mrs Biddlethorpe, a very hungry Wodge, a very bad-tempered fairy, and a very uninvited bulldozer all the while rehearsing for the school concert. What could go wrong? Packed with daring escapades and oodles of laughs. With hints of classic adventure stories like Narnia and The Magic Faraway Tree, Wodge and Friends: Take the Stageis also bursting with outlandish and distinctly modern humour perfect for 7+ fans of laugh-out-loud adventures such as How to Train Your Dragon.
