The Chronicles of Colin & Captain Sockstump: Book 1: The Curse of the Crunch King

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Warning: This book may contain traces of adventure!

For nine-year-old Colin, life is a minefield. A single peanut puff is enough to turn his head into a red balloon. While other kids munch on Snickers cake, Colin sits at the "Safe Table" with his dry rice cake. He always thought he was just allergic.

He was wrong.

When he gets yelled at by a grumpy, one-eyed wool sock named Captain Sockstump in the laundry room, Colin learns the incredible truth: He isn't sick – he is a Guardian! The tingling in his throat isn't a bug, it’s a built-in radar against humanity's darkest threat:

The Peanut Butter Trolls.

These nasty, sticky beasts want all the nuts in the world for themselves and have cursed children to keep them away. Together with the Captain (who has a panic fear of moths), Colin must now prove his courage. Armed with his Epi-Blaster and the Kernel-Cannon 3000, he dares to jump through the dishwasher into a dimension of toffee beaches and milk lakes.

Their mission: Infiltrate the Fortress of Fats, defeat the nasty King Crunchy, and save the world – before Colin runs out of breath!

A hilarious fantasy adventure about courage, friendship, and the deadliest danger since the invention of trail mix.
