Shinoy and the Chaos Crew When Shinoy downloads the Chaos Crew app on his phone, a glitch in the system gives him the power to summon his TV heroes into his world. With the team on board, Shinoy can figure out what dastardly plans the red-eyed S.N.A.I.R., a Super Nasty Artificial Intelligent Robot, has come up with, and save the day.

There was a loud banging on the front door. Shinoy took out his earphones. He was listening to the Chaos Crew theme tune and imagining he was on Further Earth. The delivery man had a small, cuboid package. “What is it?” Shinoy asked him. “Dunno,” said the man, “but everybody’s getting one.” The street was filled with delivery vans.

“Who’s that for?” asked Mum. Shinoy shrugged and carefully unwrapped the package. Inside was a small, white metal cube, covered with tiny holes and a button on top.

A paper slip read: A free gift from Hatmun’s Forest Rains. Peaceful Dreams are Just Raindrops Away. It was odd. But it was free. “Looks rubbish to me,” grumbled Myra.

Shinoy pressed the button on the box. Tropical sounds of birds chirping, and the gentle pattering of rain, filled the room. “It must help you sleep,” said Mum. 6

Shinoy tried to turn off the sound, but it wouldn’t stop. He was feeling sleepy and he knew something was wrong. He struggled to reach for his phone but couldn’t keep his eyes open. Luckily, his earphones were dangling around his neck and he popped them in. Once he couldn’t hear the sound from the white box, he felt less dozy. He pressed the Chaos Crew app button. “Call to Action, Chaos Crew!”
