Meet Measle Stubbs.

Measle is an orphan with hygiene issues. He cuts his hair with kitchen knives, his clothes challenge the trade descriptions act and he doesn't even know where the bathroom is! If it weren't for the fact that his guardian, Basil Tramplebone, is a greedy, malevolent, wizard-gone-bad Wrathmonk who won't let him play with his fantastic toy train set, it might get him down.

When Basil catches Measle flagrante dilikto with his precious engines he shrinks him with an evil spell until he is only a few centimetres tall. Trapped in the world of the train set Measle finds some unexpected friends and some extremely unwelcome enemies. Can he lead his new-found companions to safety before Basil has a chance to finish what he started? Or will something else swoop down and dispose of them first?

The Monster of Mucus...

A blob of stinky slime is on the loose, slurping up everything in its path. Nothing is safe. Especially not Measle Stubbs.
