‘Proper funny cartooning - I love it’ – Jim Smith, Laugh Out Loud Book Award-winning author of My Big Fat Poo Diary

Welcome to Chicken Hill: join Ferdy, Gripper and Tink as they investigate all things strange in their seriously weird town.

Three hilarious and off-the-wall stories in one full-colour graphic novel, perfect for fans of Dog Man and Bunny vs Monkey.

Chicken Hill: Just your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill small town, where the pets can talk, the frogs rule over a secret underwater empire and you’re only ever one day away from an alien invasion.

Chicken Hill is home to Ferdy, a tech wiz with a knack for invention and a habit of running into trouble. Always with him is Gripper, his farty and self-obsessed pug, and Tink, his brother’s forever-tired cat. Together, they investigate the many wild and weird happenings in town…

And whether fending off an invasion of zombie cactuses, or trying to keep an army of cloned conspiracy theorist cats out of office, there’s no shortage of things to keep them busy. Because in Chicken Hill, there’s only one rule: if you think things can’t get weirder, they always can.
