Sascha Martin's Ripping News Teaser 1: Sascha Martin's Gobbly Goo Part One

Yes, it's all great fun, until somebody loses their knickers! When Sascha's latest news drops, it falls on Mary-Alice to reveal its unspeakable secret. Now the air is full of bugs, beasts and birthday suits, and Landfill is vanishing faster than you can say bare bottoms. Who ever thought the apocalypse would be so embarrassing?

Mary-Alice, 2M drama queen and influencer, has been exposed in ways she never thought possible. Will her image survive this catastrophe? But incredibly, it's not just about her. All of Landfill Public School is prey to Sascha's insensitive, revolting invention, every secret laid bare as the racing, rumbling, radiating tide of blush-raising ruin spits and gobbles and squelches inexorably on. Is this curtains for Landfill, and mucky curtains at that? Is it the end for Planet Earth?

Sascha Martin's Ripping News Teaser 3: Sascha Martin's Gobbly Goo Part Three

Sascha's snotty genie is out of the bottle, and it's hungry. Or maybe just greedy. It's not granting anyone's wishes, that's for sure. Already, Landfill Public School is just a mucusy memory, and the outside world has no idea it's on the menu. Can nothing stop this demon of devouring, this monster of munching, this apocalypse of apparel? Surely its creator can stop what he's set in motion? Well, about that ... Join Sascha, Luca, not-friend Mary-Alice and all of Landfill Public School for the yucky final instalment of Sascha Martin's Gobbly Goo.

Sascha Martin's Ripping News Episode 1: Sascha Martin's Rocket-Ship

It’s the debut disaster of Sascha Martin, the eight-year old whose genius knows no responsibility … and Show-and-Tell will never be the same again.

Sascha Martin's Ripping News Episode 3: Sascha Martin's Super Ball

It's Book Parade at Landfill Public School, and kids are bouncing off the walls in excitement. They’re not the only ones. Mr Jack and Mrs Barnum are strangely, confident, ready to catch anything the day can throw at them. But first, there's Sascha Martin’s News. His latest invention looks harmless, but ... you mustn't drop it! Why? He won’t say. But Mary-Alice Cooper will do anything to find out. Anything! Sascha Martin’s Super Ball: his worst invention yet, by leaps and bounds. Sascha Martin's Super Ball is a fully illustrated, full colour book, available in paperback and digital formats.

Sascha Martin's Ripping News Episode 4: Sascha Martin's Zombie Dust

The fate of the planet hangs in the balance. Will Sascha get this right, or will dawn’s bright light reignite the flight of his Super Balls? Is extinction the next overnight sensation? Experience science on the fly as Sascha crafts a critically cataclysmic collision of cosmic consequence, and suddenly it’s the girls they’re all afraid of. Where can you run, on a mountain made of balls? How do you hide from a drooling girl? It’s all slippery slopes and midnight cravings, as Sascha battles a pair of apocalypses only he could have created, in Sascha Martin's Zombie Dust.

Sascha Martin's Ripping News Episode 5: Sascha Martin's Pitchy Witch Part 1

Mary-Alice Cooper has always been a legend in her own mind, but this time the hat’s on backwards. Or sideways, at the very least. It’s school holidays in Landfill, and Mary-Alice is being ignored by Sascha and Luca, who are hard at work on projects that have - oh my god! - nothing to do with her. Well … Hell hath no fury like a not-friend scorned. Riding high on a stolen invention, Mary-Alice makes just the kind of exit she could only dream of (in a really bad sleep), and an entrance she’ll be working on for a long, long time. Will she ever get back to her adoring followers? Join Mary-Alice Cooper, Landfill’s queen of drama, on a deeply offensive dive into the culture and traditions of a place she just can’t get away from.

Sascha Martin's Ripping News Episode 6: Sascha Martin's Pitchy Witch Part 2

Mary-Alice’s worst trip ever plunges her deeper into the unknown - to her at least, and that’s all that counts. She’s not in charge. She’s not even in the know, and both would have been unthinkable just moments before ... Moments? Or ... Look, ignore Time for a moment. It’s being weird. And this place! One moment ... hang on ... yes, that tracks, one moment she’s looking down on the unsophistication of an evening in the country, whichever one this is, and the next moment (yes) she’s hurled into a world of noise and terror, clonked on the head, and wakes among rustic, unabashed admirers. But her Dark Companion shatters the moment just as she’s having it, and now there’s a crime scene to flee. Edmond Locard would have things to say about this moment, but his hasn’t arrived yet, and the point is moot.

Sascha Martin's Ripping News Episode 7: Sascha Martin's Pitchy Witch Part 3

Fresh from the rustic charm of her recent home invasion, Mary-Alice returns to the scene of the crime, though not its time, and faces an altogether more challenging welcome - an armed antagonist with murder in his myopic eye. Can she de-escalate the situation, using all her natural tact and diplomacy? The broom, for once, is lost for words.
