The Stonking Steps

SEVEN-YEAR-OLD JUSTIN WALKER is unhappy living
with his narrow-minded Aunty Doris and Uncle Ron. He wants
more than anything to live with his beloved mother. His
unhappiness increases when, just before Christmas, he
overhears his aunt planning to send him to a foster home.



The next day, while out on an errand, Justin discovers a
portal into the world of ING-ONG-UNG. There he meets
Benny the raccoon and his wife Loretta who tell Justin about
THE STONKING STEPS, the fabled staircase to happiness.
Maybe if Justin goes there he will be reunited with his mother!
Benny and Loretta decide to accompany Justin on his journey.
Along the way more friends join them in their quest - Nutmeg
the gingerbread man, Gregory and Norman the horses, Paco
the wooden boy. They all have their own reasons for going to
the Stonking Steps.



On their journey, they encounter the evil Nono who
programs children's mischievous behaviour on his computer,
the greedy Hip who intercepts presents children are supposed
to receive from Santa, and the devious schoolteacher Miss
Bloop who gives impossible homework assignments.



Can they get past the villains to get to the Stonking
Steps and find the happiness they are seeking?
