Saucy Nancy
Susan and John visit a scrapyard where they meet Worzel’s old friend Saucy Nancy. She is a carved ship’s figurehead and she wants their help to get back to the seaside.
Guy Forks
It’s the build up to Bonfire Night and a new face has arrived on the farm, Worzel’s cousin, Guy Forks. Determined to win the argument of which can do the others job better, Worzel agrees to swap places with Guy and take his place on the top of the bonfire. Can Susan and John find a way to rescue Worzel before it’s too late.
Twitchers
After a thunderstorm, a flock of rare choughs turn up at Scatterbrook Farm. Keen to seize the opportunity to scare such a rarely sighted bird, Worzel enlists the help of Susan and John. But their plans are soon scuppered as word of the choughs gets around and a group of avid birdwatchers moves in. With the twitchers refusing to leave, can the children come up with a plan to help scare the choughs and save Worzel from embarrassment.
Calliope Jane
Susan and John are excited when they learn that FR Peregrine’s Travelling Fair is coming to Scatterbrook. But as much as he’d love to join his friends, Worzel can’t be seen wandering around by humans. He recalls the legend of the fairground with an enchanted organ. It is believed that, with the right music, the organ has the power to send humans to sleep so that scarecrows can enjoy the rides without fear of being seen.
