Fluke and the Bannajee

BOOK DESCRIPTION

‘Who is The Bannajee?’ I hear you ask. And that’s a difficult question. Let’s start with what he looks like.

First of all, he’s big. The kind of big that has to stoop to get in a room. That big. He has a body covered in light-brown fur. And a head with only four hairs on it. Don’t ask me why, that’s all he has.

The Bannajee’d be really, really lonely if he didn’t live with Fluke.

‘Who’s Fluke?’

Fluke’s a boy. He likes to think he’s cool. Like most boys, he tries to dress as though he is. And The Bannajee lives in his house.

Now how this strange situation came about, no-one knows. But that’s it.

Fluke’s in charge and The Bannajee doesn’t mind. In fact, he’s a bit relieved. He’s got a lot to learn and Fluke’s a good teacher. For a teenager.

These stories are their adventures.

I hope you like them.
