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?

"But to see her, I'd go through the gates of Hell with a smile on my face." Veronica Valdez learns in the beginning of the summer that her father has accepted a new job offer. The problem isn't the job itself, but the man he will be working for. She tries to object, but is dismissed as quickly as she opens her mouth. With the change comes a new rule: for "safety reasons," she is no longer allowed to live on her own. Instead, she is sent to spend the summer break in the home of her father's colleague. Her father is relieved when the colleague's son and his friends agree to keep an eye on her. Veronica, however, is less amused by the idea of being babysat. When no one will tell her the truth, she has to resort to listening closely, watching carefully, and piecing things together herself. Eavesdropping may be impolite, but ignorance is far worse. What begins as a tense arrangement slowly shifts into something unexpected. Bound by proximity and circumstance, the boys and her form an uneasy friendship. But when Veronica's father makes a critical deal with his boss, loyalties are tested and the fragile balance between them begins to crack. As feelings she never intended to have grow stronger for a certain someone, Veronica is forced to confront a question she can no longer avoid: how much is she willing to risk for the truth? And most of all, for her heart? *** ! I started writing this book about two years ago, back when my English skills were still in need of much development. This book is currently under 'renovation' as I have since grown noticeably as a writer, but aside from grammar fixes and sentence reconstructions nothing will change. The plot will remain the same. ! This is fanfiction. I do not own all of the characters. ! All of the pictures used are from Pinterest.

(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.
