How can shy Toby deal with the pixies at the bottom of his garden? Especially as they want him to be their King!
All Toby wants is to fit in. Toby tries to ignore his intrusive friends and hopes that his boring school routine will be a deterrent. But there is no stopping the determined pixies who turn up in the most unexpected places. Maybe Toby should accept his new status – and the possible perks that might go with it?
That may be a step too far but Toby soon enjoys some great new friendships in this madcap other world. An enjoyable story that’s also a nice reminder that life is full of possibilities…

Read the full description
In an ordinary town with an ordinary school, shy Toby Cauldwell is an ordinary boy who just wants to fit in. Little does he know that deep in the undergrowth of his garden lies a magical kingdom . . . full of pixies who name him their king!
Desperate to get back to his normal life, Toby’s school routine resumes, but the pixies continue to show up in all the wrong moments (despite only trying to help)! From turning his cheese-and-pickle sandwich evil, to causing a cyclone in the science lab and setting up a bizarre royal wedding, it’s up to Toby to fix the havoc the pixies cause. Through all the chaos, Toby eventually starts to wonder if there might be perks to this utterly ridiculous life?
Full of unstoppable energy, unlikely friendships and adventures with new kinds of magic you can’t see coming, this story is what happens when a superstar comics team’s imaginations run wild. An amalgamation of accidents and absolute pixie mayhem, this anarchic new series is perfect for fans of Bunny vs Monkey, Dog Man and Star Cat.
Toby and the Pixies was originally published in The Phoenix comic.
