An amazing journey as told through the eyes of the family PETRIARCH, Blizzard, the retriever. This is a story so relatable to and for everyone as we’ve all been in situations where we’ve had to share. A wonderful journey which provides lessons in life for all ages but particularly for those 3-8 years old. The story takes our main character through change and follows his emotional detachment and then attachment to the new family member with an unexpected, heartwarming change in attitude. A smart, contemporary message teaching inclusion of all no matter what, teaching pride and protectiveness, teaching unselfish behavior and finally and most important, teaching LOVE at a tender age.

After a mysterious “incident” involving a plane trip when they were very young left both girls orphaned and twin-less, they are raised by their grandfather, the owner/operator of the tumbledown Starlight Paradise Drive-In movie theatre in the middle-of-nowhere town of Wiggins Cross.

Something … weird. They’re about to find out just how right they are. When Dudley’s World O’Wonders, a threadbare travelling carnival, rolls into town, the citizens of Wiggins welcome the distraction. But even “Colonel” Winchester P.Q.

It’s up to Cheryl and Tweed, with their encyclopaedic knowledge of monster movie lore, and their flyboy friend Yeager “Pilot” Armbruster to save the town—and themselves!

Monster-mashers and babysitters extraordinaire Cheryl and Tweed are back, along with their friends Pilot and Arnie—and they’re in trouble again! This time, they’re tangled up in some ghostly goings-on: solving the mystery that lies behind the creepy doors of Heckleston Manor, Wiggins Cross’s only genuine haunted house. The gang must face off against a whole new host of horrors, including gargoyles, possessed drive-in movie speakers, and a gaggle of ghoulish ghosts. At the same time, Cheryl and Tweed must defend their babysitting turf against the rival sitters in the town—in a contest of wits, guts and sitter-fu!
