Description
Another tale of zany characters, running amok on Christmas Eve!
Nearly every Saturday morning, Ronnie Wrinkle is attacked by a violent Being in his home. A frightening whirlwind of pain, an angry Witch of hatred. He has no idea why. He lives in terror of her next visit, for she had screamed a terrible threat; “Next time . . . It will be Hell at Midnight!! The End of Everything!!†Ronnie realises the ‘next time’ will be midnight on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Eve Ronnie finds the elderly lodgers are eating all the shoe polish. The fire is out and they are surrounded by soggy, chewed up kindling. Thankfully they don’t want to eat his pencil. He goes to the beach to gather more kindling.
There he finds something amazing. It gives him a brilliant idea that might keep the Witch away – if only for a little while. He loads it into his barrow and wheels off to town. But before the night is done he is robbed by a smelly old man.
Ronnie desperately chases him, but it seems everyone in town - including a very mysterious donkey – tries to slow him down. He HAS to get his loaded barrow back and be home before midnight – and not just because of the Witch; his way home means crossing the dreaded Horrogre Crag. Time and again he has been warned, “You know what happens at Horrogre at midnight on Christmas Eve!â€
Will Ronnie catch the Filthy Filtcher of his Fabulous Barrowload? But wait - is it really his lost treasure? And is the thief just a smelly old man . . . or someone weird? Will Ronnie survive Horrogre Crag and the hatred of the mad eyed Witch? Why does she haunt him? And what on earth is the Great Tripe on Toast Disaster of ’48? Crikey, I don’t know! You’ll have to read the story!
