Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

It got him all excited
My son was excited to listen to this, and I have to admit, I enjoyed it too. The stories of extreme sports legends really got him hooked, and he couldn’t stop talking about their achievements. I love that it inspired him, but now I just hope he doesn’t start trying crazy things with his friends now!

Rebels of extreme sports!
My kids couldn't stop listening to this one! The stories of these amazing athletes had them totally hooked - and I love how the narrator makes each tale feel like a friend telling cool stories at a skate park. Not just about the tricks either - it's got some really great messages about never giving up. Even caught my 10-year-old practicing skateboarding the next day!
