Introducing Solo

Solo is quite a character who loves nothing better than a good scrap. 

He is definitely the one to have on your side in a sticky situation, as his friends can tell you. 

When Solo's good friend, Tristan, stepped in a fruit pie, things got very sticky very quickly - in more ways than one; the owner of the fruit pie wasn't pleased. It was lucky all round that Solo was on hand to get his friend out of trouble.

Introducing Fmelodie

Fmelodie is the one that the Prof said sounded Fmiliar. Ha ha. See what he did there?

Fmelodie is quite a character but her real accomplishment is something you’ll never see, because she’s a masterof disguise. Here is a cat wondering what woke it up. Of course it was Fmelodie but she’s so fast that the cat is looking in the wrong direction.

Fmelodie’s skill is really useful in certain circumstances to do with unicorns, but that’s all I’m allowed to say about that because the secret of the unicorn has to remain secret (it’s what Amy would call a Top Priority secret) until it gets revealed by Fmelodie and the gang in the book.

Introducing Mischief

Some of the gang like to have names that mislead, such as Flo not minding being called Slow Flo, but there is nothing misleading about Mischief’s name.

‘Mischief by name, mischief by nature,’ Snowy has been heard to murmur, when even she can’t keep Mischief out of trouble.

Mischief’s party trick is the concealed nip. If a pony suddenly bucks for no reason at all, look around and see if Mischief is anywhere near. Snowy says she sometimes thinks Mischief is no more than a set of teeth and a pair of eyes looking for ways to make trouble.

Introducing Flo

How many creatures, human or otherwise, are in the photo? Flo’s there, of course, but we can also see two separate legs and one hand, so that could be three different people. Oh yes, and there’s a horse’s head, too, so that makes five.

Sometimes Flo gets teased for being slow, but it’s not that she’s slow, it’s that she keeps stopping to snack, which often makes her late.

Introducing Jasper

Jasper is a born leader who takes the whole gang to where they need to go – and a lot of times to where they really shouldn’t go. They don’t mind that Jasper leads them into trouble so often because they all know that if he didn’t, then they’d all get into trouble on their own and have no one to lead them out of it. 

Jasper is especially fond of grass, but he knows his gang prefers fancier treats so he doesn’t take them to empty meadows, he takes them to popular picnic spots where he can eat grass while they make nuisances of themselves in and around all the picnic baskets.
