  1. Unexpected developments. But Nos is loved and receiving help from Luc, Blake and Emon. And even from his father. What can he expect from his mother?

    Prologue

    Prologue

    "Here we are again! Happy as can be! All good pals and jolly good company!" Little Shop of Horrors meets (and I'm full of hope) Wallace and Gromit. Audrey v Wererabbits. And where are Charlie and Co.? Rescuing Matt from the Chocolate Factory no doubt!! I am again late to this story. I've promised myself not to read others' comments until after I've attempted one. Thereby approaching each episode episodically ( predictive text offers up periodically sporadically and several words I don't know the meaning of). But then.... promises are like pie crust.

    Chapter 26

    Test paper No 2. Answer all three questions. Each carries equal points. Q1. Will Gerald be allowed to use his bedazzling gun a. before b. during or c. after the banquet? Q2. Was the root Lucas tripped over a. a close cousin b. a distant relative or c. a cub scout Twiglet, of the tree stump Lucas has argued with previously? NB. Zombies please note. Mobile phones may not be used.

    Chapter 25

    I have gone so far beyond laughter now, just hysterics. Loving all and every character at the Jamboree. Pick out one? Got to be Barty Junior - now a veteran. Pick out one outstanding phrase in summation? " Step forward and embrace the sparkle."
  6. Have we crossed into an episode of the Tv series "Lost"? Is his friend Darrin part of a rescue party? Has it all been a dream? Whatever, an intriguing development at the end of another great chapter.
  7. We are about to reach the end of our journey. Vince sorely wounded but hopefully to be healed by Skarg who has returned at the right time. Jack fearful for his friend and guardian but will do what he can to defend him to the end. Theo doing what his trials always intended him for, a final battle with the trees' pack leader. And the Whiteflame pack resurrected to destroy once and for all the evil trees. Goodness and love triumph.
  8. More interesting developments detectionwise and socially.
  9. Sad that the story is concluded but a wonderful chapter to end it with.

    Chapter 13

    What a wonderful fantastical experience this has been, binge-reading the last few chapters. Beautifully drawn characters who could all almost be human or supernatural, probably something in between since they've all been touched by magic. I adore Matt. Was he the prototype of Lucas? Now to move on to the next tale and the unresolved situations from this one.

    Chapter 12

    Isaac Newton invented calculus to explain change and motion in physical systems( according to Google AI). So Simon was actually putting calculus into words or vice versa. Is there a reason I only managed to get O-level maths? But what a delightful chapter! And I have always found Lovecrafts creations frightening.

    Chapter 11

    Again never underestimate the power of the British Education System. Is Simon about to unleash the power of A- level calculus? Will Matt survive and take his being force-fed chocolate to acquire a future A-level in Chocolatiering? Will he have to move to Belgium?

    Chapter 10

    Up until the bout of jousting with the crowd Matt wasn't looking forward to retaking his A-level in Physical Education.

    Chapter 9

    And now we have Matt proving he has an A-level in Domestic Science....." here to critique your latte art. Your foam is subpar and your extraction times are a disgrace." Then we move on to a demonstration of the technique of mopping! Never underestimate the power of the British education system.

    Chapter 8

    My choice out of this chapter is again Matt. Harsh of Lynix to call him a "poor addled mess of a mortal". Particularly when he does have a grasp of politics......" blow up a Costa Coffee. That's, that's terrorism". ...... and of economics... "The economy is in shambles and you want to destroy my free latte?" Im sure he has an A-level in both subjects. .

    Chapter 7

    Late to this story. So much happening as usual. Pick out one thing. Matt being goosed. By a determined goose. A laugh a minute.
  17. Matt's not just a sex magnet for hunks! Max is just SEX!
  18. Like all your stories, Matt always delivers!
  19. I'm glad we've got to the bottom of that! But Jake is well ahead of you. "Make it a steel one, and add one of those digital locks or whatever they're called. After what happened yesterday, I want to make certain the room is more secure."

    Two Packs

    "Oliver laughed." A chapter where we have perhaps Oliver letting his innermost feelings begin to surface. Finding perhaps some commonality with Julien. The size/weight of the packs corresponds with the amount of emotional luggage we carry with us. Some are heavy burdened some unprepared. Oliver is feeling good that he is achieving a kind of equilibrium. I hope that he finds in Julien the guide to take him forward.

    Chapter 24

    Scouts Guide to Vampire Hunting. Section 1. Rule 3. " I am Loki of Asgard , and I am burdened with glorious purpose." (Anonymous Addendum re Lucas (without official authorisation)). Apologies to the author. Forgive me.

    Chapter 23

    This reads like a bad - or brilliant - recruitment campaign funded by the Scout Movement; but are you sure, Topher sir, that you read correctly the terms of reference and conditions of employment. And am I too old to join Andy's group? Physical age 83, emotional age 33, mental age 13. I love this tale. I am a great believer that laughter is the best medicine and you are providing it by the bucketful.

    Chapter 10

    A sweet meeting of the two young men who know they have 'unfinished business'. Much can be said in a glance, or in a reaction to save someone. I like the way Ingomar finds time for reflection; and a growing realisation that his loyalty might just be for Marcus. How easy to walk into an ambush which could have been much worse but for Ingomar's trail sense and Marcus' spear throwing. Further action and reaction ahead.

    Multitasking

    Great chapter. A beautiful evening for all three. Nothing forced, just a preparedness to give and share of themselves.
  25. Interesting development. Father and daughter? It didn't take long for Connor to get over Jamie and get it on with Dale. And why the antagonism toward Jamie?
