Sheppey Shadows

It was an ordinary week on the usually sleepy Isle of Sheppey… until the shadows appeared.

These mysterious jet black apparitions swooped low across the marshes, menacing towns, frightening children, stalling cars and causing the disappearance of at least one local resident. The local police and coastguard are mystified. Time for the Sheppey Sheriffs to investigate!

Led by local private eye Detective Clarsson, the Sheppey Sheriffs are a secret order of protectors of this ancient Isle. To the untrained eye they look like ordinary children. But each of them is bestowed with a unique skill, acquired from a magic potion brewed by the mysterious Jimmy, a 4-year-old enigma with his own lab.

The Sheppey Sheriffs fan out to conduct their enquiries… Little do they know, their investigation will lead them to uncover an ancient secret, and a grave danger.
