Softcover, 224 pages, Colour, 2025. 

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS meets BUNNY VERSUS MONKEY in this hilarious, zany and action-packed full-colour graphic novel for readers aged 5-8. Join naughty best friends Ollie the vampire squid and Zing the toxin-squirting sea bunny as they cause chaos in the deep sea with the rest of their undersea crew!

“What a hoot – gentle, silly, under-the-sea fun. Zing is my spirit animal!” – Ross Montgomery, author of I AM REBEL

Ollie and Zing live in a town called Nowhere, deep under the sea – a place that’s home to the wackiest and weirdest creatures of the ocean, like the stinky Blob, crafty Hypno-snail, and the mysterious Snakey Unicorn Thing… Ollie and Zing’s antics with their colourful neighbours always keep things lively – especially when they get the better of dastardly old Thornelius, the thorn-shooting sea slug!

This book contains four hilarious mini episodes, featuring a missing pet sea anemone (who makes a dashing wig), a very mysterious noise, and a magical portal toilet…

• Aoife’s striking, bold and friendly art style welcomes even less confident readers in these action-packed mini episodes
• Hilarious and anarchic visual humour with a loveable cast of vibrant characters
• A celebration of imagination, friendship and being completely unique!
