Smudgekins and the Pumpkin Surprise

Izy Staffy Wolfpack Tall Tales series
Feelgood fairytale adventures for all the family

Meet Smudgekins, a tiny Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy with goggles around her neck, a satchel full of treasures, and a heart big enough for the whole countryside.

When pumpkins begin disappearing one by one, and something strange is spotted moving through the old walled pumpkin patch at night, Smudgekins finds herself at the centre of a gentle mystery. With flickering lanterns, glowing pumpkins, whispered clues, and a little help from Petal the fairy, Smudgekins must work out what is really going on before the surprise is revealed.

This is a feel-good fairytale adventure featuring:

- A brave little Staffy puppy with a curious mind and a kind heart

- A gentle, child-friendly mystery full of warmth and humour

- Autumn magic, pumpkins, lanterns, and moonlit moments

- Friendship, teamwork, and reassurance throughout

- A cosy countryside world perfect for family reading

Inspired by the real-life Izy Staffy Wolfpack and set in the English countryside, Smudgekins' stories are loved by children, parents, grandparents, dog lovers, and anyone who enjoys comforting, joyful tales with heart and imagination.

Perfect for bedtime reading, shared storytime, or independent readers aged 6+, this is a standalone Smudgekins adventure that can be enjoyed at any time of year.
