About this listen

WARNING! This audio contains: mischief, mayhem, and perhaps a dash of malice...!

In this first volume of The Squickerwonkers Series, The Squickerwonkers - a band of colorful marionettes and stars of the fabulous Squickershow - have welcomed a new cast member into their troupe: Selma the Spoiled of the Rin Run Royals, and she's more SPOILED than ever! Having inherited the wealth and power of Selma's Gramp, The Squickerwonkers are no longer outcasts. They are ready to leave their enchanting and spooky wagon to get out and enjoy their new riches. What trouble will ensue? Enter (and listen) at your own risk to find out....
