Parkingdom is the first instalment in a humorous and witty fantasy adventure trilogy, about a group of gnomes trying to survive in a human world. A SECRET WORLD Parkingdom is home to a hidden society of tiny gnomes whose whole world resides inside the tall walls of a vast inner-city London park, guided by their Watcher from a large billboard. Then, without warning, she disappears along with all the gigantic humans. A MISSION Fisher and Bel have been sent away by the city elders to the Great Green Gates, to the Wardens Office, to find out why? It is a perilous journey through the deserted human section of the park and across the uncharted Wild Lands. Soon they find themselves travel companions with a witch’s ferret and a scrawny long toothed rat, and befriended by a strange little green snotling who knows a shocking secret. HOPE Upon returning they discover their city under the control of a hostile neighbouring city’s army. Has their Watcher deserted them in their time of greatest need? Will the elders understand their Watcher’s cryptic message? Moreover, will they, along with their rebellious elders, be able to do anything to save their family and friends? Join Fisher and Bel as they embark upon an adventure that will change their small world forever.
