Stickboy Steve's Wild Adventures

By Steven A Boyle

Meet Stick-Boy Steve (Steven Jr.) - Liverpool's biggest little trouble-magnet with a brain full of brilliant ideas and a talent for turning normal days into legendary disasters. With his best mates Dean, David, Diago, Max, and Chase (the "Bamboo Stick Crew"), Steve lives for one thing: making every weekend feel like an action movie... even if it starts with something as harmless as "a quick experiment in the garden."

What begins as simple backyard fun quickly becomes a chain reaction of wild, laugh-out-loud chaos. The crew build ridiculous contraptions, invent new games that instantly get out of hand, and treat every small problem like it's a mission that needs a full team, a plan, and a dramatic countdown. And just when the boys think they've mastered the art of mischief, the world seems to push back - as if Steve's mayhem has switched something on in the city.

School doesn't help. Lessons, lunch breaks, and ordinary routines become comic battlegrounds where harmless competitions explode into full-scale "events." Strange food-fuelled disasters begin to repeat, and rumours spread that something weird is happening around Steve and the crew. When a mysterious digital helper voice called Angel A.I. starts glitching into their lives at the exact moment trouble appears, the boys begin to wonder: is Steve's chaos just bad luck... or is it attracting something bigger?

By the final stretch of Volume 1, the adventures level up into a kid-friendly "monster-movie" of pure comedy, as bizarre snack-themed threats start appearing and the crew are forced to face a city-wide silliness outbreak. The last battle lands at Nan's house - the one place that's supposed to be safe - where one wrong button press unleashes a legendary kitchen disaster and the Bamboo Stick Crew must work together to stop the mess from taking over everything.

Volume 1 is fast, funny, and built for reluctant readers: short chapters, big set-pieces, best-friend energy, and a cliff-turn rhythm that makes kids want to read "just one more." And when the chaos finally settles... one tiny clue hints that this was only the beginning.
