Stinking sewers, A WICKED HEADMASTER and A BOTANICAL ARTEFACT!
Sometimes the biggest treasure is making it out
in one piece!
Wilbur Glump and the Oozing Bloom
Wilbur Glump and his best friend, Barney Sludge have just found the pit of their worst nightmares.
One wrong step lands them in a dark hole deep beneath the village of Bogswollop, where they meet Mort Chumslug— a long-lost adventurer with a wooden leg, a ping pong eyeball, and some nasty habits. Mort spins a tale of a hidden treasure that could change their lives forever.
There’s just one TINY problem: escaping the pit means venturing into the sewers, and those tunnels aren’t just home to yesterday’s lunch. A stinking, fizzing menace has been brewing down there for half a century, and it’s not about to roll out the welcome mat.
Can Wilbur and Barney dodge disaster and outwit sewer beasts in a race against Bogswollop’s finest — all in search of a strange, pulsing relic whispered about in legends … a thing known only as the Oozing Bloom?
Or will their big adventure go straight down the drain?
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES IN 2026
The hunt for Mortimer Chumslug’s treasure has begun!​
​
Armed with Mort's map, steam-driven bicycles, and Wilbur's newfound superpower, Wilbur, Barney and Lexi set out to find Mort's treasure.​​​​
Launching
late 2026!
About the author
MOSTON WILKS
Moston Wilks is an Australian author with a lifelong fascination for forgotten places, peculiar objects, and the quiet spaces where strange things might still exist.
He grew up in an overgrown suburb, thick with brambles and vines in the Adelaide hills, where secret tunnels, tree-house passwords, and go-cart tracks were as common as scraped knees — and the boundary between the real and the imagined was never quite clear.
Moston lives with his wife and children in a perfectly ordinary Brisbane home where, according to rumour, odd maps, curious journals, and the occasional bubbling noise have been known to surface beneath the floorboards. Wilbur Glump and the Oozing Bloom is his first published venture into the world of Bogswollop — and probably not his last.
