Welcome, why don’t you tell us a little about yourself, and where you come from? Hello everyone. My name is Threeo and I’m a Hippo-Dog-Burrowing Owl from the world of Enchantment. Well Threeo, that’s quite a mouthful. Exactly what is a Hippo-Dog-Burrowing Owl? I resemble all three earthly creatures. I have a small hippopotamus body, and fluffy dog tail, and my head is the burrowing owl. I was created by magic. I see. Can you tell us a little about your world of Enchantment? Enchantment is a great world, or at least it was until she arrived. I have visions, so I knew she would come. Enchantment doesn’t allow foreigners of any sort. My master is the Enforcer for the world and he was supposed to get rid of her. Continue reading →

The name Conall Sean Wyman means “strong wolf”, “God’s gracious gift”, “warrior/fighter”. These phrases pretty much sum up the character of Conall the Demon Warrior. A sensitive man with a gentle heart, Conall is hardened on the exterior with battle scars and fire-toughened hide. The question becomes, will Myrna learn to trust him or will she begin to rely too heavily on him and step aside in her leadership role, thereby breaking the Prophecy? Can she use his skills and intelligence as a member of her army, although he is not technically a Vigorio? Who sent him to join her troupe? Why now and why doesn’t he just introduce himself? Why all the cloak and dagger secrecy? Continue reading →

Curious City just finished up a website for author Amy MacDonald. Having just released, Too Much Flapdoodle that includes the same line up of eccentric characters as her chapter books, No More Nice and No More Nasty, we decided to create a greater "series presence" for her books.

As the third book did not follow the naming mechanism of "No More..." we created a themed website based on the character's names and quirks.

As the books deal with the formerly straight-laced boys, Simon and Parker spending time with their wacky luddite Maine relatives, we decided that the site would be built by and authored by Simon and Parker. The boys launched "Mattie and Philbert's World" to pass on the Un-Lessons handed down to them by their great aunt and uncle.

The site intentionally includes lots of PDF Downloads to provide materials for classroom, homeschool, and young reader use. They include everything from multiplication tricks to how to play songs with your armpits.

Also in support of Too Much Flapdoodle, we helped Amy create a character blog for Parker to pass on the luddite oddities of his summer with Aunt Mattie and Uncle Philbert --like how to build a turtle trap.
