The Jelly Baby Adventures Jack Ward and the Evil King Tosh

‘I guess you'd better come in and sit down then, Jack. It's time you knew…' Jack is a studious and self-absorbed sixteen-year-old, interested in nothing more than getting top marks at school and the pursuit of his own ambitions. He has no time for games, no time for friends, and definitely no time for his younger sister Mia. But as he continues to isolate himself from the world, Jack is propelled back in time into an imaginary world created by his eccentric grandfather many years before. He discovers this magical land has been virtually destroyed by its evil ruler, King Tosh, and now only Jack has the power to save it. The trouble is, he doesn't know how… Frustrated and confused, Jack refuses to believe that such a world exists anywhere but in his head, until Mia mysteriously disappears and he is forced to return again and save her. Lost amongst the magic and mayhem Jack must break the spell before Jelly Baby Land is destroyed, or Jack will be trapped in another time, forever.
