Meet the Mubbles

Author: Liz Pichon

Meet The Mubbles, as they burst colourfully onto the scene in a brand new series from best-selling author Liz Pichon. The bright, fun-loving Mubbles – Berry, Dash, Cheery and the gang- live happily together on The Isle of Smile, where they love to sing songs to help make the flowers and plants grow big and strong. The gang all love their island, especially the mysterious Uncertain Curtain, which always delivers an unexpected surprise; cue song for the reader to join in – “What’s behind the Uncertain Curtain?”!

When a strange object lands on the Isle of Smile, nobody knows what it is, but when someone presses a button, suddenly all the colour starts to disappear from their island and the flowers become grey and droopy. What has happened and can the Mubbles solve the mystery in time before the colour disappears from their world forever?

This is the first in what is certain to be another hugely popular series from Pichon. A full-colour graphic comic style novel, packed full of vibrant and funny characters doing crazy things, perfectly pitched for the intended 6+ age group. The Mubbles even have their own QR code and website where you can meet the characters and learn the songs featured in the story, to sing-along while you read, as well as play ‘The Uncertain Curtain’ game. Children can also send their own artwork in and be featured on the website too. The drawings within the book are simple but effective and the pages exude fun and joy. It might not be the perfect bedtime story, as it is more likely to have the readers bouncing around to the songs and rhymes of the Mubbles than winding down ready to sleep, but it is certain to be a household and classroom winner, with bonus ear-worms for all the adults.
