One garden. Two bunnies. Endless oopsies.
Pip and Pat Pickle just want to sell lettuce. Instead, they accidentally get hired as the official gardeners at the joyfully messy Goodworth Estate. With one week to complete a list of very confusing tasks (’Make the fountain sparkle’?), they must prove they’re up to the job... even though they’ve never gardened before. Armed with prunes, a serious notebook, and a whole lot of determination, the Pickle siblings soon discover that good things can grow, even from their biggest oopsies. A laugh-out-loud early reader, chapter book series full of silly mix-ups, garden mishaps, kindness, and blooming where you’re planted. Perfect for readers aged 6-10 who love a whole lot of fun. Selling points:- A hilarious new take on classic mix-ups. Fans of Amelia Bedelia will love Pip and Pat’s literal gardening mistakes. (My favourite is when they put prunes on the bushes instead of actually pruning the bushes)
- Lovable sibling duo: Pip (the organised perfectionist) and Pat (the chaotic dreamer) bring endless comedy and heart.

- Universal kid appeal with talking animals, silly misunderstandings, and garden chaos, which is perfect for boys and girls aged 6-10.
