Ollie and Zing live in a town called Nowhere, deep under the sea

- a place that's home to the wackiest and weirdest creatures of

the ocean, like the stinky Blob, crafty Hypno-snail, and the mysterious

Snakey Unicorn Thing... Ollie and Zing's antics with their

colourful neighbours always keep things lively - especially when

they get the better of dastardly old Thornelius, the thorn-shooting

sea slug!

This book contains four hilarious mini episodes, featuring a missing

pet sea anemone (who makes a dashing wig), a very mysterious

noise, and a magical portal toilet...

Aoife's striking, bold and friendly art style welcomes even

less confident readers in these action-packed mini episodes

Hilarious and anarchic visual humour with a loveable cast of

vibrant characters

A celebration of imagination, friendship and being completely

unique!
