Chock-full of laughter, chaos and craziness, this farm-fresh comedic adventure follows Wally & Sid, and their hilariously unforgettable friends, on a journey filled with laugh-out-loud humor, lots of heart, and genuine fun. Wally & Sid are not the sharpest tools in the garden shed, and certainly no strangers to chaos. The comical misadventures of these two practical jokers turn into days filled with hilarious mishaps and mischief. Now there is a pest, a bad seed if you will, causing problems, who is not even trying to hide that he's the culprit. The pressure is building, so will they be able to come up with a plan to stop him? Or will their tiny tormenter continue to prove he's smarter and craftier than Wally & Sid? Become immersed in this action-packed, magical story of optimism and friendship, imaginative pranks and pranksters, and a diverse cast of characters that includes a 300 year old magician and his rabbit, a Latina florist in full Dia de los Muertos splendor, a special-needs ice cream vendor, an expressionless Tiki, a private eye, a wonky purveyor of poop, and of course, Wally & Sid. Oh, and a sly and cunning pest Beautifully illustrated, this tale of wonderfully quirky creatures offers a generous dose of home grown hilarity for kids of all ages. This is not your typical hero's journey tale. |
Contributor Bio(s): Deaver, Richard D.: - Reading and writing has always been an important part of life for author and award-winning creative designer, Richard Deaver. Born and raised in California's Central Valley, when he wasn't exploring the wide-open spaces or playing in trees, Richard had his nose in a book, and would escape for hours into a world of imagination, and wonder. Ever curious and always with a creative bent, Richard would use stories to dream up great adventures where anything was possible. Growing older did not quell that imagination, or thirst for adventure . A life-long admirer of Walt Disney, he has used his love of storytelling and that same imagination to create immersive themed experiences for parks and attractions. In 2009, Richard came up with the idea for Wally & Sid while designing a farm-themed attraction for an amusement park, and spent the next several years developing the story as the cast of characters has continued to grow (pun intended). |
