Do you feel that you are a bit different from other people your age?
Are you often asked, 'why can't you be like.......'?
Are you puzzled why being you is such a problem for your parents, your
teachers or your classmates?
If so, then come along and join The Misfits on a journey of self-discovery, where they learn that being different isn't just okay, it's perfect!
Meet Achoo:
He likes playing video games, chatting with his friends, Matchbox cars, comic books and his assortment of beanbags, which allow him to do what he loves most of all...sleep!
He sleeps a lot. If he sits still too long, he falls asleep. If he stands still too long, he falls asleep.
Achoo is a werewolf and, according to his dad, not a very good one...
Meet Mina:
She loves bright colours, flowers, butterflies and the feel of the sun warming her cheeks.
Mina prefers salads to red meat and refuses point blank to drink human blood.
Mina is a vampire and, according to her mother, not a very good one...
Meet Boo:
He hails from the time and town of Jack the Ripper and his outfits are a constant source of amusement, as is his accent.
He has a very short attention span which gets him into all sorts of predicaments, especially when he's supposed to be walking through things!
Boo is a ghost and, according to his dad, not a very good one...
Meet Zoe:
She likes speed, whether it be whizzing around on her roller blades, her scooter or her skateboard, she doesn't mind, though her roller blades are her favourite.
Zoe is a zombie and, according to her mum, not a very good one...
Achoo, Mina, Boo and Zoe - four school friends failing at being who they are supposed to be, are brought closer together by an errant Rounders ball.
The Wall is a place that marks the border between their world and the world of ... who knows?
