|summary=Meet Gawain. He's a goose, with great plans to be a great architect, who's fallen instead into being the Chief Guard of the Royal Treasury belonging to King Basil the bear. Only the two of them have keys to enter through the only door into the place, but lo and behold, some of the gems have been stolen. Gawain promises to be even more diligent than he already is – ''I check, I double-check and I re-double-check'', he insists. But more and more things go missing, and soon Gawain is being accused of betraying King Basil's trust and helping himself. I would say he's out on his ear as a result, but, you know – he's a goose.

|summary=Amy-May was devastated when her parents split up: she and her mother left the delightful seaside cottage where the waves had sung her to sleep and moved into a 'garden flat'. That didn't mean that it had a garden, just that it was on the ground floor. They didn't have a lot of possessions as the bailiffs had taken most of them. Her father was living in another old cottage now and hopefully he'd be able to set up his kiln, but he wouldn't be able to home-school Amy-May. The alternative was Sandcastles Secondary School but the rather nervous Amy was considered to be too ''anxious'' to start at the school full time. As a gentle introduction to schooling she went to Grace's art school instead.
