Follow Oscar McShaggytail, Barnabas Grump and their young team as they
begin their exciting adventure to find the Mystical Waters of Utopia.
They need the waters to fuel KITTI, their recently invented time
machine. Oscar is an idealist and wants to use the time machine to visit
great minds from both past and present. He hopes to seek their knowledge
and advice, and potentially overcome many of today's big social and
environmental issues. Basically, he wants to save the planet.
His brilliant young team includes the talented and beautiful Lucy de
Pussy, the nervous Jack Snapper and the minder of the team, Billy (Bud)
McClaw. Add to that, Felix Fawkes, their enigmatic and sophisticated
guide, and later Midge Munroe, you have a collection of interesting
characters with diverse personalities. The story follows Oscar and his
team to the ancient castle of Elantfia where the Waters are supposedly
hidden. Unknown to Oscar, he is pursued by a gang of villains who want
the Waters of Utopia for a much more sinister purpose. The villains are
led by the evil Red Rod Rodentsky and the sinister Doctor Slimella
DeHissifit. All the action takes place in Elantfia Castle, and apart
from the villains causing havoc, there is also a couple of spooky
ghostly characters thrown in for good measure.
Can Oscar and the gang escape with the Mystical Waters or will Red Rod
and his cronies spoil the day and steal the waters from their very
grasp?
The story is light and upbeat with a fair wallop of humour and
adventure. There is also added emotion and sentiment which helps make it
a much more rounded, poignant tale. The author hopes you enjoy it.
