Luzie’s Mad World
Luzie is nine. She’s a bit on the small side, but she has a big heart and a head full of crazy ideas. She loves animals more than anything—most of all Herkules, her guinea pig. So when she discovers that he’s in danger and that Leon—the leader of the Nasty Horror Gang—is behind it, she does everything in her power to save her beloved pet. It’s just as well she can rely on Herkules’ magic powers and he sets her on the right track at the decisive moment! Luzie knows for sure that Herkules isn’t just any old run-of-the-mill guinea pig but is in fact both immortal and magical...or maybe that’s just her special perspective on the world.
