Penelope, the adventurous daughter of Tessello the captain's cat, has seen pretty much all there is of the Old Town History Museum and its sprawling Garden.
She's bored, and decides that today (yes, today!) she's going on an adventure.
The thing is, there is only one friend she can really take; Knuckles Chesterfield (Esq.) — a portly squirrel who hates adventures, danger, unnecessary movement, and pretty much everything except eating, picnics, examining himself in the mirror, writing books about picnics, and of course, fine clothes.
So when Penelope suggests they ask the sinister gnome from the haunted end of the Garden to take them to the sea, you can imagine Knuckles' delight.
As usual, though, Penelope gets her way. Much to the disgust of Knuckles, the pair soon find themselves in the gnome's submarine heading down into an underworld of riddles, dark secrets, pirates, dragons and one-eyed seers in search of the fallen star that will bring light to the Caverns of the gnomes.
Will they find it? Or even get to the sea like the gnome promises? Probably not, since the sinister gnome in question, one Boris Bones, has a very dangerous plan in store for Penelope. Somehow it involves the strange disappearance of Tessello, a complex riddle, and a mystery as ancient as light itself.

PS - Don't mind the PG-13 rating. This is a very 'G' rated book like all Addison's Tales. The platform's algorithm must have picked up a combination of flagged words and I can't alter it to 'G'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
PPS - I am thinking of changing the cover for this as it doesn't convey all the action, colour and adventure packed into the tale. What do you think? Should I make it more like the cover for Tom Thorneval? With the characters Penelope, Boris Bones, Tibbens (the miserable) and Knuckles (the actually quite useless) framed with a few extra special characters you'll meet later in the story?

Broken But Hateful
On Senior Prom Sonic was going to have a great time with his 'boyfriend' Knuckles. But turns out it was a set up that he framed Sonic for selling Cocaine and it worked. Once Sonic was thrown in jail, everyone who knew him abandoned him (even his own family). He turned to a life of crime (for a short while) after getting out of prison. He was broken as he felt nothing. But when he got to the hospital from attempted suicide and then to the asylum, a spark of light came when a kind hearted psychiatrist Offered him a job and a place to stay at his Orphanage (which is also a school for wayward youth) with his therapy. With the help of one girl and her best friend. A little bright blue hedgehog girl named Janice and a bright red echidna named Cassie. Things were plain but Sonic was still broken but he was hateful towards those who hurt him in the past. He changed his appearance and moved far away to a little bit old London (a little modern) style town selling good medicine for the people and working for the psychiatrist. When people (Knuckles, his family, and friends) from his past 'somehow found him' come to make things right, Sonic turns them away. Will Sonic give them a chance? Or will he just hate them for everything they did in the past?Complete
How I Saved the World (Or So They Told Me)
Pen's uncle is a cop, and ever since she was able to crawl, she was being versed in the arts of stranger danger (and possibly a few karate, ninja-like moves). So when some unknown guy begins to chat her up through her car window, and then goes on to watch her as she drives away, she does what she's been taught: she goes to the cops. However, this turns out to be the least suspicious thing to occur in the following week. A new boy at Penelope's school invites her over to dinner, and suddenly she's being informed that she's involved in a prophecy (which was written on, excuse me, is that toilet paper?) to help stop an evil mastermind named Sir Dastardly and reclaim the prized Purity Crystal. Pen's reaction? (Well, after she goes a little crazy with her stun gun.) For reasons she still can't explain, to help him and his family take down Sir Dastardly and-so they tell her-to help save the world. Well, not all evil plots end the way we assume, right?

Attracted to danger
"Nightmare, you got you no where to go, so I would suggest you put your weapons down and hands up, and I won't hurt you" He says, gun still pointing at me, eyes narrow but some what soft. I know that he is not scared to shoot if I didn't do as I'm told but I really didn't care if he shot me but then I remember the girl that is still behind me, that he doesn't know about. "You got to the count of three!" 'What to do, what to do, what to do!?' I say in my head "One!" 'Think! Think! Come on brain!?' "Two!" 'Come on!?....wait I know what to do...' "Three..." ~ Nova is the only dark ocean blue cat prodigy left. She acts normal in the monster/prodigy/human world. Ever since her family died. She became Nightmare, a criminal. No one knows who she is, not even her friends, but that is all going change. Come along as these friends meet and help others. (I will do a remake later on, I was going to remake this story to make it, make more sense but it was to funny because of the mess up of my younger self. So you can continue reading if you wish but good luck.) (also the last time I actually edited this book was back in September 8-9, 2019)Complete
The Bad Boy is Back (Book 2)
(Book 2) *Contains spoilers below* "I needed more closure than what you gave me." I half lied. "It feels like an open wound someone keeps pouring salt on." His expression remained hard and cold. Almost distant. "I don't know what you want from me, Willow. You coming here isn't closing any wounds, it's just opening up old ones." I let out a sigh and rubbed my hands over my face. "I just needed to see you, okay? It's a relief to know you're even alive right now." I was begging myself not to cry. Noah shifted a little and folded his arms against his chest. "I don't know what you want me to say." "Anything is better than nothing." I said as I took a step closer. "I missed you. A lot." He peeked from under the mess of curls falling over his eyes. "You want me to tell you I missed you too? Is that what you're doing here?" I clenched my jaw shut and curled my fingers into fists at my sides. "I don't want anything from you." Scott isn't gone...yet. But he still refuses to let Noah go without harming anyone Noah cares about. It's been nine months since Scott took Noah under his wing and moved away from California. Willow hasn't seen either of them since the night Noah left with the promise to come back. When Willow finds Noah, she didn't expect what she finds. Noah's completely transformed into something she never thought she would see again. Besides the arrogant, obnoxious attitude, came countless tattoos, a ring through his lip, and a new name. With Scott still lingering and Noah's new found attitude, there's bound to be a little trouble. Way more than Willow bargained for. And maybe, just maybe, Scott isn't the real enemy.Complete

⚠️smut⚠️ "She hates me. Fuck, she hates me so much it pains her. But when i'm inside her, she can't help it. She loves it, and she can't hide it from me." ~ This story is about a cruel and hurtful boy named Draco Malfoy, and a determined and annoyed girl named Savanna Holcombe, who can't stop trying to get under each other's skin. Something about that creates so much tension, that's almost impossible for them to ignore. Disclaimer: This is a story that includes topics like jealousy, possession, and smut. If any of those make you uncomfortable or triggered, feel free to click off. Also, Tom Riddle is alive and is one of the characters, we figure out why this is later in the story. I am aware that we don't get too much backstory on Savanna, but that will unfold as the story continues. Apologies for a rough start of the book. (I'm in the process of editing any mistakes, so please ignore those if you see any!) Lastly, you can imagine these characters in year 6 Savanna Character Description: Long dark brown hair Smokey blue eyes Fair skin Pureblood Slytherin Thank you for reading, and make sure to vote and comment! <3 highest rankings: #1 - toxicdraco #1 - spice #1 - enemiestolovers #1 - dracolovestoryComplete
