Calla and the Rat City - Part 4 Jun 10, 2026 758 Calla returns to the witch with difficult news: Sable is alive, but something is very wrong with her. The witch heals Calla's wounds — which had been turning black at the edges in a dangerous way — and then starts packing her bag. The witch is coming down into the tunnels herself. She also hands Calla a light rod: a dark wooden stick with a crystal tip that produces a blinding flash and stops
Calla and the Rat City Part 3 - The Deep Tunnels May 27, 2026 792 Calla and a small team of rats venture into the ancient tunnels beneath Rat City to find the witch's missing cat. The ghost ferrets are waiting for them. The creatures attack from every direction at once, silent, fast, impossible to track in the dark.

Calla and the Rat City Part 2 - The Witch May 17, 2026 665 Calla has a plan to steal the bell back from the witch. It is not a great plan. She sneaks into the witch's shack in Ashwood Forest, finds the bell on a shelf — and gets caught immediately. The witch is not angry exactly, but she is not the forgiving type either. Calla plays the one card she has: she knows where the witch's missing cat has been disappearing to. The witch goes very still. A
Calla and the Rat City - Part 1 - The Girl Who Listens May 11, 2026 692 Twelve-year-old Calla has been keeping a strange secret for two years, she can understand rats.

Rat City is real, ancient, and in serious trouble. Ghost ferrets attack every night, and the one
The Drill House Part 5 - Monster Drill Versus the Gloop Bot Army Apr 30, 2026 1167 The Power Diamond transforms the Drill House into something enormous, and General Splat-9's army is about to find out what that means. Avery and Quinn burst out of the ground in the middle of occupied Valleytown with a diamond-powered machine, a triceratops, and a pocket panda — and the battle for the valley begins. The Monster Drill pushes gloop bots toward the Academy, where a werewolf headm
The Drill House Part 4 - The Volcano at the Bottom of Everything Apr 29, 2026 972 At the bottom of the cave system, three ancient lava beasts guard the Power Diamond — and they are not interested in negotiating. Avery and Quinn reach the volcanic chamber and find the diamond sitting on a rock column above rivers of active lava, protected by armored creatures that have been guarding it for centuries. Avery's sword works on ice mode. Fire mode does not work at all. Quinn'
The Drill House Part 3 - The Price of Passage Apr 22, 2026 854 A row of gem-covered cave trolls is blocking the only path forward — and they want something shiny before they'll move. Avery and Quinn reach the Troll Crossing, where the enormous, gemstone-hoarding Grumstone and his crew demand payment for passage. The boys have tools, weapons, a pocket panda, and one thing Quinn really doesn't want to give up. Past the trolls, a strange sound echoes fro
The Drill House Part 2 - Mushroom Beasts Apr 14, 2026 883 A broken drill horn, a cavern full of enormous mushroom monsters, and one very small panda who might just save the day. Deep underground, the Drill House takes damage and forces Avery and Quinn to stop for repairs in the dark. While Quinn welds the machine back together on the roof, Avery wanders too far into the tunnels — and finds something tiny, black and white, and extremely alarmed wedged in
The Drill House Part 1 - The Day the Gloops Learned to Robot Apr 9, 2026 1073 Two brothers unveil their greatest invention the same morning an army of robot gloops drops from hot air balloons onto Valleytown. Avery and Quinn have spent six months building the Drill House in a Power-Up garage — part home, part tank, part aircraft, with triceratops-style horns that can bore through solid rock. When gloop bots with reinforced metal plating pour into the valley and conventional
The Knight Part 6 - The Map to The Dragon Shield Apr 2, 2026 711 Back in Treadway, the knight delivers the memory jar to Old Prentiss and watches the old merchant breathe in the pale smoke of the Doom Labyrinth — seeing it all for himself. Old Prentiss holds up his end of the deal: the Dragon Scale Shield is real, and it's marked on a very old map — deep in an abandoned fortress in the Farlands, far past roads and towns and everything familiar. The knight r
The Knight Part 5 - The Memory Merchant Mar 26, 2026 685 The knight and Leeko tumble out of the teleportation potion into the cheerful, sunlit village of Home — battered but alive. The mission is clear: find the Memory Merchant at the edge of the forest, get the Doom Labyrinth extracted from the knight's memory, and trade it to Old Prentiss. It should be the easy part. But when Leeko realizes the extraction means the knight will forget everything —
The Knight Part 4 - Marma Mar 24, 2026 707 In the deepest chamber they've found yet, the knight and Leeko come face-to-face with Marma — a tall masked warrior with twin daggers, a metal hand, and moves faster than anything the knight has ever fought. She's attempted to reach the mysterious door at the center of this room fourteen times, and she's not sharing it with a knight and a small wet gremlin. The fight that follows is th
