Aldrin Adams Adventure

by 2 books in this series
#1 - Aldrin Adams and the Cheese Nightmares
#1 - Aldrin Adams and the Cheese Nightmares
Aldrin Addis has the world's most unusual and secret SUPER-POWER: By eating very stinky cheese before bedtime, Aldrin can enter people's dreams and nightmares, and help them with their problems.

The trouble is, Aldrin has problems of his own. Dad's not been himself since Mum died, their cheese shop (C'est Cheese!) is under threat of closure, and Aldrin's struggling at school.

But things go from bad to worse when Aldrin realises something - or someone - is trying to steal his cheesy super power for their own evil plan for world domination!

And this time, Aldrin might need more than the stinkiest of Bries to save the day!
#2 - Aldrin Adams and the Legend of Nemeswiss
#2 - Aldrin Adams and the Legend of Nemeswiss
An ordinary boy. The most EXTRAORDINARY, stinkiest super-power!

Some months have past since Aldrin Adams discovered when he eats CHEESE before bedtime, he can enter people's dreams and nightmares, and help them with their problems. He's learned when to eat blue cheese (to help with nightmares about KILLER toys), smoked cheese (to help him recover from using his powers) and good old Cheddar (TOP SECRET). He's also come face to face with his nemesis - a MYSTERIOUS SUPERNATURAL VILLAIN who creates NIGHTMARES for millions of children every night.

Aldrin survived, but only JUST. And now what is he supposed to do? Save the world, one SCARY CLOWN nightmare at a time? Shouldn't being a superhero be more adventurous than this? And is there a way to beat his Nemesis once and for all?

Find out, as Aldrin navigates his new life, meets more people with powers like him and - finally - faces his NEMESIS again!
