"This quirky quest-driven Middle Grade fantasy adventure is packed with peril and strange magical creatures."
When Mikey and his fellow Mud Gang members go looking for glow-worms in Crow’s Cave, after managing to shake off the bullying Squeakers from school, they find themselves stuck, and also find themselves in the company of a goblin-like grubbling creature.
With all this happening in the space of a few pages, ESJ Tasker’s The Whimstrick is quick to draw readers into a wildly imaginative ride that keeps taking astonishing turns.
After the grubbling tasks Mikey with finding a mystery box, Mikey befriends Blink, who happens to be a whimstrick — a mystical creature that specialises in nature magic.
It’s not long before the duo pass through a portal to the weird, psychedelic world of Whimsburrow. “This place is crazy”, Mikey observes, as he and Blink embark on a quest to get him back home, while trying to evade the Thorne King and the freaky phantoms of Demerium.
Outlandish, unexpected, and full of adventure, this will appeal to readers who relish fantastical fiction of the more unconventional variety.
"Why me? Mikey thought to himself. Why was he having these strange dreams?"
