Magali is an ordinary French marmot. But her mountain mates? The Dudes? They're crazy, fun, and competitive. They drag her into all sorts of sporty adventures... A commotion breaks out in the competition queue: the weasel team accuse the squirrels of stealing their precious blackberries. The foxes join in, pointing at the squirrels. 'Yes, you stole from us! You ambushed us and took our blueberries!' Chaos breaks out in the forest: all the animals accuse the squirrel team of cheating! 'Thieves! Disqualify them!' shout the weasels, foxes, and even Magali and her friends. Oh, dear. Is the referee, Mr Woodpecker, going to sort this mess out? After all, this is paintball with fruit being used as ammunition, and the sneaky squirrel team are playing with stolen ammunition! A middle grade book series about unexpected friendships, trusting instinct, and learning independence! For ages 8 to 12 years old. Each book can be read as an individual book or as part of the French Marmot Dude Series. Available in English, French (Magali Marmotte Series), Spanish (Magali Marmota Series) + bilingual versions.
