The Treasure Under the Jam Factory

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The second hilarious adventure starring Scooter the inventor and his top secret alien sidekick.

Scooter's hyper-creative brain is a constant fizz of brilliant ideas, but when he pairs up with his best friend Fizzbee the alien, his inventions are out of this world...

McLay's Jam Factory is scheduled for a Grand Re-Opening TONIGHT. That is until Scooter's nemesis, Daffy Dodgy, turns up to reveal her name is still on the deeds. Scooter must either hand over all his best ideas, or find the money to buy back the factory. When Cat Pincher turns up with a treasure map, revealing there's a hoard of treasure buried under the jam factory, it seems like Scooter's in with a chance.

But he's not the only one after the treasure...

Can Scooter, Fizzbee and Cat follow the map and find the treasure? Will Daffy and Boris the guinea pig do what they do best and mess everything up? Or will Cat's nefarious uncle, Perry Pincher, and his gold-sniffing ferret, Colonel Pom Pom, beat them all to it?

About the Author

Chrissie Sains grew up in Billericay, Essex, where she spent her childhood seeking adventure and finding trouble. Described by her teachers as having a β€œlively imagination”, Chrissie's escapades include her attempted rescue of the school's pet fish and the discovery of a dead body in a field that turned out to be two tyres under a sheet. She has swum with sharks, scuba-dived shipwrecks and sky-dived from a plane. Chrissie has a background in marketing and events but now writes full time and is a graduate of the Golden Egg Academy and a member of SCBWI. An Alien in the Jam Factory was her first book.
Jenny Taylor is an illustrator and graphic designer originally from Scotland, but now living in Preston, England. Drawing stories since 1997, when she first discovered what pencils and paints could really do, she has finally achieved her childhood dream with this debut book about aliens and jam. When not drawing, Jenny enjoys long walks in the shade with her ginger companion, β€œattempting” new and complicated recipes or watching her favourite animated movies.
