Kids should meet Jake right away!
He has an amazing …ssstory to tell and lots of brilliant worldwide adventures!
Series Synopsis:
Every once in a blue moon... a HERO, a truly great character is born. Adventures of
JAKE the SNAKE V.I.P.e.r. (Very Important Personality and Extraordinary Reptile) tells the story of just such an amazing …Ssssuperstar!
Jake fell to earth in an egg and the goddess Reptia declared:
“Jake, Jake, you’re the Chosen Snake, do good on the Planet and all good shall come to you”
Jake set up life on Reptisland and somehow knew from an early age that it was his destiny to change the range of feelings by the human race about snakes, reversing the ‘bad press’ they received ever since that Garden of Eden episode!
‘Give a Snake a Break’ became his motto!
Our Reptilian Righter of Wrongs leads the uncompromising campaign for justice and fair play across the world, spreading a ‘green message’ in an effort to protect the planet through the Leaf Club for kids: Keen-to-Go-Green
Assisting him are the RAKES- an international band of unique creatures, that all had a shady past and unpopularity as disliked species - Tina Termite, ex-Cuban tap dancing gun moll, Marco Mortadella , whizz kid rodent ex-leader of the Bad Cheese Gang in Italy, Merc Magpie- former Middle Eastern mercenary ; Loti Locust -Oriental computer hacker with her Fan-tastic Fan tool, and Jacques Webb- French spider, counterfeiter extraordinaire BUT- thanks to a break from Jake, they toe the line now with the Slithery Samaritan as their mentor. They ‘Snake, Rattle ’n Roll’ with the Top Trouble shooter in the amazing Viperwagen from the Equatree Control Tower on Reptisland, off to a different country in the past, present or future, wherever a call on the Viperline takes them, to solve any crooked crime in need of quashing.
Every good hero deserves a bad villain. Jake’s main mission is to curb the global misdeeds perpetrated by the murky Mongoose Militia, under the leadership of the ‘Demented Duo’: treacherous Mama Tallulah and her maniac son Toulouse Mongoose with his odious Henchmen, who plan death and destruction to take over the world. With the reappearance of the despicable Mad Adder, Jake and the Rakes face an even greater dilemma against law and order.
“Each book is awash with ten chapters of high adventure. It’s all about entertaining children with a capital “E” and educating with a small ‘e’ in a subtle way, while they have a whole load of laughs,” explains the author. “We’ve got forty countries featured so far and, aside from learning facts about them, kids will join Jake and the Rakes as they discover how good can trump evil any day of the week in the past, present or future.”
Continuing, “But the series isn’t just confined to the books. We have built a vibrant companion website where kids can learn more about each character, read breaking news about the gang as it happens, and even initiate themselves into the ‘Leaf Club for kids KEEN-TO-GO-GREEN!’. The best bit is that we have barely scratched the series’ surface – there’s much more to come!”
