Each Fizzlebert Stump book is a whole complete story that can be read and enjoyed all by itself, although the best way to read them is in order!


1: Fizzlebert Stump: The Boy Who Ran Away From the Circus (and Joined the Library)

Fizzlebert Stump lives in a travelling circus. He hangs around with acrobats, plays the fool with clowns, and puts his head in a lion's mouth every night. But it can be a bit lonely being the only kid in the circus. So one day, Fizz decides to join a library - and that's when it all goes terribly wrong...

A story of a boy, a book, some very bad people, some very brave deeds, and the importance of rubber teeth for lions.

Illustrated throughout by Sarah Horne. (And with a brand new cover for spring 2020.)
