About this series

This story tells of how the Jumbalees came to settle on their tropical island in the very beginning, but trouble from their past lies ahead.

Many, many years ago, the Jumbalees were captured from their distant home planet Jumbala by an evil robot race, the Captubots, to be used as servants. While travelling through space an asteroid struck the Captubots spaceship and the capture pod that the Jumbalees were being held in broke away, sending them hurtling into space. After many days travelling they eventually landed on Earth and made their new home on a tropical island.

The Captubots come to Earth to recapture them, but will they be able to escape again?

This series of illustrated stories for kids are about the Jumbalees, a group of colourful young creatures that live and play together on an exotic island close to the ocean. They behave like human children, working together even when they disagree as they make their way through exciting and sometimes scary adventures. Their social interactions help prepare them for dealing with others and the world around them and their loyalty and humour allow them to overcome the obstacles they face. The colourful cartoon illustrations in these storybooks make reading more fun for kids.
