Johnny Maxwell hat eine lebhafte Phantasie, die ihn immer wieder in die merkwürdigsten Abenteuer katapultiert. Im ersten Buch gerät er in ein Computerspiel, dessen Zielfiguren kapitulieren und sich zurückziehen wollen; im zweiten Band wollen Gespenster auf einem Friedhof verhindern, dass ihre Heimstatt an einen Immobilienmakler verschachert wird; und im dritten entdeckt Johnny einen geheimen Weg in die Vergangenheit, wo er ein schreckliches Ereignis verhindern muss.

Als Johnny in der Nähe eines Kinos die bewusstlose Mrs. Tachyon, eine obdachlose alte Dame, findet und ins Krankenhaus bringt, entdeckt er, dass es sich bei dem Einkaufswagen mit ihren Habseligkeiten um eine Zeitmaschine handelt. Mithilfe dieses Trolleys kehrt Johnny in die Zeit des Zweiten Weltkriegs zurück. Ihn begleiten seine Freunde Stephen, auch bekannt als Wobbler, Bigmac, Kirsty und Yo-less. Sie finden sich 1941 in Johnnys Heimatstadt Blackbury wieder, grade als ein deutscher Luftangriff droht. Johnny versucht, die tödliche Bombardierung abzuwenden.

Johnny Maxwell nimmt eine Abkürzung über den örtlichen Friedhof, um nach Haus zu kommen. Da trifft er plötzlich auf den Geist von Thomas Bowler, ehemals Ratsherr der Stadt. Kurz darauf bemerkt Johnny, dass er mit den Geistern der Toten kommunizieren kann. Die verstorbenen Bewohner des Friedhofs klagen über den Plan der Stadt, den vernachlässigten Friedhof von Blackbury an ein Immobilien-Konsortium zu verschachern. Der Friedhof soll verschwinden und Bürogebäuden Platz machen. Johnny soll helfen, diese Pläne zu stoppen.

Johnny, 12 Jahre alt, hat von seinem Freund Wobbler Johnson eine Piratenausgabe des neuen Computerspiels "Nur du kannst die Menschheit retten" erhalten. Nach kurzer Zeit will das ScreeWee-Imperium aus dem Spiel kaputulieren. Johnny ist verwundert. Die Welt des Spiels taucht plötzlich in seinen Träumen auf. Johnny soll den Spielfiguren, die von sämtlichen Kopien des Spiels verschwunden sind, helfen, in ihre wahre Welt zurückzukehren. Dabei unterstützt ihn Kirsty, die sich Sigourney nennt: eine andere Spielerin aus Johnnys Welt.

This is the next in the popular series featuring Johnny Maxwell. Johnny can see the dead, and the dead are beginning to see just how much fun it is to be alive, in another terrific tale from the master of comic fantasy Terry Pratchett...

A Bright New Dawn is just around the corner for thousands of tiny nomes when they begin to move into the ruined buildings of an abandoned quarry. Or is it? Soon strange things start to happen. Like the tops of puddles growing hard and cold, and the water coming down from the sky in frozen bits. Then humans appear and they really mess everything up. But how long will the nomes be able to keep the humans at bay: even with the help of the monster Jekub? A hilarious sequel to Truckers.

To the thousands of tiny nomes who live under the floorboards of a large department store, there is no Outside. Things like Day and Night, Sun and Rain are just daft old legends. Then a devastating piece of news shatters their existence: the Store, their whole world, is to be demolished. And it's up to Masklin, one of the last nomes to come into the Store, to mastermind an unbelievable escape plan that will take all the nomes into the dangers of the great Outside.

Somewhere in a place so far up there is no down, a ship is waiting to take the nomes home: back to wherever they came from. And one nome, Masklin, knows that they've got to try and contact this ship. It means getting to Florida (wherever that is), then getting to the launch of a communications satellite (whatever that is). A ridiculous plan. Impossible. But Masklin doesn't know this, so he tries to do it anyway.

Not many people can see the dead (and not many would want to). Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell can. And he's got bad news for them: the members of the council want to sell the cemetery as a building site. But the dead aren't going to take it lying down - especially since it's Halloween tomorrow. Besides, they're beginning to find that life is a lot more fun than it was when they were...well...alive. Particularly if they break a few rules.

As the mighty alien fleet from the very latest computer game thunders across the computer screen, Johnny prepares to blow them into the usual million pieces. And they send him a message. We surrender. They're not supposed to do that! They're supposed to die. And computer joysticks don't have "Don't Fire" buttons...It's hard enough trying to save Mankind from the Galactic Hordes. It's even harder trying to save the Galactic Hordes from Mankind. But it's only a game, isn't it. Isn't it?
