Yuk I Hate Vegibles
When Charlie’s mysterious aunt turned up after her
mum fell ill, Charlie’s life was about to change for ever.
Whisked off to The Hollies farm, Charlie found herself
in a world very different to the one she was used to. For
someone who hated ‘vegibles’, to find herself on a farm
that grew them, was very bad news. But Charlie’s mind
was soon distracted by strange goings-on around her!
Why had her mum never mentioned her aunt before? Why
did odd things seem to happen around Twitch, the Border
collie, every time he twitched his nose? Padlocks that
sprung open, ladders that fell over, cows that appeared
from nowhere and spoons that turned into carrots! What
was the strange glowing light she could see out of her
bedroom window in the middle of the night? And who was
the horrible man who she met at the market and what did he
want with her aunt?
Hidden away in the enormous greenhouse within the
grounds of the farm, Charlie might just find the answers.
The vegetables that she so hated could also help her - Posh
Pea, Plucky Onion, Manic Mushroom, Haughty Cabbage,
Dizzy Carrot, Stubborn Potato and the Parsnip twins,
Dopey and Grumpy. If only Charlie could get to them and
hear their story, she might, just might, have a chance of
saving both her aunt and the farm!
