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?

⚠️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
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?

Babysitters
"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. !
