About Grimhilda! -- a Fantasy for Children, and Their Parents

Toby's parents are gone, kidnapped. He has the chance to rescue them... But does he even want to? After all, eight-year old Toby's parents are forever going out to 'more important things' and leaving him with babysitters. And it hurts. But on the night he opens the door to the newest babysitter, he definitely wishes his parents were staying home. Because nothing is ever going to be the same again. Before the last star leaves the sky, some of his toys will have come to life. He'll realise what a truly dangerous person the babysitter is. And he'll learn that the last child who tried to rescue his parents...didn't survive. He can't face all this on his own, but his 'helpers' are a truly mixed bunch, and in spite of their magic, things can still go haywire. You and your children will love this tale jam-packed with heroic actions, witchy malice, and parental foolishness. Get it now. Reviewers say: ...flawlessly executed...The story flows, and the characters are three-dimensional and consistent. ...exactly the kind of book my boys liked me to read to them when they were 5 to 8 years old, and it's the just kind of book I loved to read when I was a kid. Thoroughly enjoyed this tale, great descriptive writing, with lovely twists of occasional humour. An animated storyline brimming with a generous splattering of dry humour and colorful characters...I read this tale with a seven-year-old who didn't want it to end.
