Dinkin Dings is afraid of everything - not just scary things, like
being stuck in a lift with a hungry jaguar, but pretty much totally
everything (apart from the monsters under his bed)! Dinkin has made
a big mistake - he's created an invention of such mind-boggling
anti-everythingness that it's far too terrifying to use and must be
destroyed at once. But before he can get rid of it, the
Anti-Everything Machine is stolen. Can Dinkin and the Frightening
Things find the thief and save themselves from a fate worse than
terror?
Have you ever wanted to find fairies in the garden, meet a unicorn,
ride a dragon or share a picnic with a mermaid? Just because you've
