Forget Pokething and Didgiwostit – the only cards worth collecting in 2010 are the TRAPPED BY MONSTERS BATTLECARDS!
YES! TBM battle cards are exciting, full colour, handy-sized paper nuggets of edge-of-the-seat fun. THRILL when you learn of Mark Robson’s exact HEIGHT! Andy Brigg’s embarrassing 70s-themed WEAKNESS! Ali Sparkes’ STUPID POEM ATTACK and Joe Craig’s alarmingly healthy SNACK. To say nothing of Tommy Donbavand’s sinister BALLOON THING, Sam Enthoven’s GUITAR ATTACK, Barry Hutchison’s ELVIS SUPERPOWER and David Melling’s INTENSE EXPRESSION.
HOW DO I GET THESE AMAZING CARDS?!!! you ask. (No, you do. Go on.)
These cards cannot be bought in any shop. You can ONLY get them directly from a TBM author while we are out on cave parole at events in schools, libraries and bookshops. Get the cards signed if you can – but even if you can’t, get the full set and win a FABULOUS PRIZE OF INDETERMINATE SIZE OR VALUE!!!*
Let any one of us know that you have achieved the improbable feat of getting all eight cards and we will challenge you for the code that you will learn only when you truly have the collection.
And then we will send your FABULOUS PRIZE OF INDETERMINATE SIZE OR VALUE!!!*
* We’ve no idea exactly what but the monsters tell us it will be good!

Yup – the Monsters dragged Tommy out by his trousers (or what passes for them after a year down here) and forced him to interface with Monsterweb and sort the problem. Tommy lost three teeth and his nostrils may never open again, but we all think it’s worth it.

Oh dear, cheers Tommy…

Me want cards please. Oh, and by the way Barry, Mr Mumbles is giving me nightmares. I don’t think i’ll ever go into my attic again.
Happy New Year to all those trapped people. Hope to see a few of you this year, if you can get out long enough.

Brilliant!
Last year we trained and supported Rotherham United football players so they could partner pupils in reading partnerships. We produced some ‘Read Up’cards for each player very similar to your battle cards with a mixture of football and reading skills. The whole project was so cool.
I’d love to get my hands on some of the Author Battle Cards.
