Amelia: Phew, how about those snakes?! Surely the next curse won’t be as bad . . . UH OH. INCOMING!!!
Glam-Evil’s pet anacondas have been vanquished, but she’s still on a rampage and there’s a storm headed straight for the gang.
Say goodbye to the rickety bridge . . . the perfect playground . . . the skyscraper tree – the BEST PARK EVER has just been cursed by an evil ultra-villain! It’s up to best friends Amelia (Miles) and Shackleton (Jones) to save their favourite place, no matter what curious curses should strike along the way.
A brilliant new graphic novel series by popular New Zealand comedian Sam Smith and artist César Lador, MILES AND JONES is like THE BAD GUYS crossed with Indiana Jones – perfect for fans of BUNNY VS MONKEY.
