'Walter Kettle is just an ordinary boy, until that is, he is bitten on the bottom by a radioactive squirrel. From that moment, whenever he eats a nut, Walter Kettle becomes Squirrel Boy! With the help of his ferocious elderly neighbour, Mrs Onions, Walter finds himself fighting crime in this new series about an unlikely, hilarious and totally ridiculous super-hero. After recovering from his recent gruesome battle with the Bogeyman, Squirrel Boy is called back into action and forced to face his most fearsome foe: the Squirrel Hunter. The Squirrel Hunter has been terrorising squirrels in the local park but the squirrel tail he most wants to nail to his wall is Walter's. Will Walter be able to save the rapidly depleting squirrel population and most importantly his own skin? ' (Publication summary)
