After the Great Split, a young Igloid named Grunt was banished forever from The Valley of Triplock. He had no memory of his past. Evil had overtaken his ancient lands and threatened the Five Valleys.

Davidia, Grunt and Batbit travel via the hidden ejector stones with the necklace of discovery and the quest begins. Evil conflict erupts in each valley they pass through and they overcome all obstacles to find Grunt’s rightful home.

But, first they must pass through the evil valley of Irridon as the final hurdle where the evil Irridia and The Murmur are growing stronger and more powerful.

Grunt finally discovers the ancient being he is. A great battle erupts between the forces of good and evil.

 A woman’s body washes up on a beautiful deserted beach as the Australian Cricket Team undertakes a three test-match-tour of India. Was she known to the touring party? Was it murder, or an accident? A crack Indian crime-fi ghting trio consisting of a work experience student, a street urchin and a pensioner strive mightily to unravel the mystery.

When body parts are found in the rough, is golf-mad Inspector Porthole up to the task of piecing together the departed souls and their perpetrators?

An informant with poor diction reveals more than half-truths. The mysterious female trio of Celeste, Flame and Boots create shadows for him to follow. Are Celeste’s sensuous-smelling coffee shops being used as a front for organised crime?

Inspector Porthole’s investigations uncover a web of drug trafficking, a high official who isn’t all that he seems, a favour-fed lawyer and a skilled morgue technician misusing his skills.

Porthole follows a trail of dead ends, drugs and violent female behaviour. Will justice finally be served?

 This time, Davidia and Slirander’s adventures take them to the old clay-quarrying town of Humpletoon to look for Davidia’s long-lost distant relative, Aunt Mavis. The quarry is made up of a special seam of clay used by the town’s potters to turn out specialist mug offerings which they use to compete in the Dimpletoon Mug Festival. Scrool fiercely guards the Ring of Clay, using its ancient secret of using red ruby eyes to protect it inhabitants from greedy humans whose action will cause extinction of this lost race. The town also holds another secret – the true ownership of the land.

The only thing holding back the town from bulldozing the quarry is the council’s inability to purchase the dilapidated house standing on the quarry edge in which lives an old “witch” who is unwilling to sell. The townsfolk believe she is cursed and are therefore scared to make contact with her. This is Aunt Mavis’ way of keeping people away – camouflaging her real younger identity behind the dirty, flowing rags and a modern home underneath the pretend, dilapidated structure, the eyesore of the town.

To help Aunt Mavis claim her rightful ownership of the quarry and save it from destruction, the girls get involved in her plan, engaging in secret activities including a role-play, talking with Milo Mac, interpreting secret messages from Scrool, the keeper of the Scroll of Scrollinger and confronting the town’s antagonist to retrieve stolen items which reveal Aunt Mavis’ true identity as owner of the land.

Another fascinating adventure in the Davidia series as these best friends once again stake their claim to be able to solve a mystery during their school holidays.

Davidia and Slirander had the ‘single’ task of researching Slirander’s grandmas memories for a school age based thesis. Not much was known about her history. Her memories were stored in a secret place inside the room with the waving hands wall.

What secrets did those memories hold? Was there danger attached to them?

Their journey of discovery took them to the land of the memory eaters, clandestine operations in World War Two, scrubbing floors in a boarding school, witnessing a banned pugilistic competition, a stint in prison, almost blended as staff into a seedy western saloon, tricked into being an almost working class girl and lost in a desert.

Who was the real grandma?

Was she the vivid storyteller as Slirander remembered or was another truth hidden within the grey haired old lady with the road map face and non-fashionable attire?

The girls completed their age thesis at school: however, one memory had a twist concerning a revelation that implicated the British Government. It was labelled ‘Top Secret.’ What was the secret from the past?

Best friends Davidia and Slirander find themselves caught up in yet another adventure, this time in the fascinating land of Dododotovia.

Davidia is one of five guests invited to a lavish mysterious dinner with four other perfect strangers. Slirander feels it is too dangerous for Davidia on her own, so she travels incognito in the magical black pearl pendant which Davidia wears on her neck.

A five-course dinner of unusual taste sensations awaited: each course imbued with imaginative flavours and weird-named offerings, served by overly-attentive staff and five changes of clothing. But why? Did the free dinner come with a price? There was certainly an air of foreboding to this one. The guests didn’t have an inkling?

The precocious, outspoken Davidia questions her hosts’ every motive, much to their chagrin and those of the guests. Determined not to comply with the subserviency expected of the dinner guests, and warned by Slirander about the foods she should not consume, Davidia ventures outside of the dining room to feign eating and falls down a shaft, disappearing into a tunnel of sludge and into the chocolate factory land of Dododotovia.

To assume obscurity and escape, she has to make the right twists and turns in the labyrinth of tunnels in this chocolaterie. She discovers that Dododotovia is the secret factory farm for the mysterious ingredients used in the exquisite brand of chocolates served to the dinner guests, the taste guinea pigs.

How did she escape being the target of a life servitude to the Dododotovians? And what of the other guests?

Another fascinatiing adventure in the Davidia series.

There’s a deepening mystery that the world’s written language kept disappearing for good, with no explanation.

Schoolgirls Davidia and Slirander catch a perpetrator finger-licking his way through a book, making the words disappear, and were puzzled. They spring into action to find the cause of the destruction and find themselves on a journey, trying to solve the puzzle of the disappearing words.

A Moonah tree whose leaves represent the letters of the alphabet help them on their journey, transforming them to strange and mysterious places where they find the fateful pit of lost letters, but not before they had to escape the traps set for them by the different keepers of the alphabet who hung tenaciously to their letters. All the while they had to outsmart their adversary, the enemy who had stolen the written language from the world.

Who was this character? Were the girls successful in their mission to save the language of the world?

A student exchange program, under a ruse, offered to Vlad College by the supernatural Senora College in the land of Cluids, was supposed to determine the premier education facility in the State of Victoria.

Davidia and Slirander formed part of the student exchange. Sinister undertones existed in their new teaching environment, which was grey, dull, digitally controlled and sterile and provided every unnatural need and teaching methods. Students were isolated from each other and impregnated with a knee device to maintain strict control over their every move. Life expectancy was on a digital timer.

The exchange college allotted two escorts to shadow the girls and ban all access to normalcy. They had to extract themselves from the clutches of the evil Miss Alpine, the head Cluid who was leader of the country of Cluidine, and save the life force of their fellow trapped students.

Their journey took them to strange dark places in another world. Danger lurked everywhere.

Evil assassins had been sent to delete both the Vlad College and Senora College exchange students. But why? At both campuses, fights erupted as students struggled to maintain their human forms. Did they succeed?

What was that strange tattoo that would release them all to a safe return to their normal world and more importantly, how was it activated?
