    • In this completely stupendous (or just plain stupid) adventure, find out what happens when the bees take over the island of Great Kerfuffle. Can Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face save the day? Or will they be thwarted, and spun round and round a lot, by the gang of ruthless office chairs? Yes, it really is THAT stupid (or should that be stupendous?).

    • It's Christmas in Great Kerfuffle, but something's not quite right. Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face have been extra good this year but they don't have any presents! They know Father Christmas wouldn't forget them so something must have happened to him. It's up to them to save Christmas (or at least find their presents!)
