Description
Magnificent laughs and adventures in three parts.
We know Trixie, Ella and Lizzy Parsley as the amazing guardians of a troupe of dancing snails. But if you thought snail-wrangling was strange, wait until you step into their dreams with them, where roads lead to nowhere and all is not what it seems. The girls will need to work together as a team to stay safe and return home.
Then there's many a funny story from the Parsleys' lives: A dog walk that takes an unexpected - and smelly - turn. Or there's that time that Nala the Alsatian caused havoc across the land with her dodgy digestive system. Not to mention the case of the runaway reptile ...
And the zany cases of the chicken counsellor, barking dog trainer and a chicken missing its 'do' bring a touch of Monty Python into the mix to tickle readers of all ages.
