Welcome to Sabden, home of the mines that produce fully half of Britain’s treacle–the sticky stuff that goes into golden syrup, ginger beer and parkin cake. In this picturesque spot, where moobarks roam the fields and mischievous boggarts scamper around every corner, a proud industry flourishes–or rather, used to flourish. Because once again, the mines have run out of treacle, and the villagers find themselves in a decidedly sticky situation…

But hope is at hand! A mysterious message in a bottle leads Tapper, Lil and the rest of our friends on an epic quest to retrieve riches beyond their wildest dreams. With the help of their trusty Treacle Tracker, they’ll descend to the very depths of the earth, cross the Molasso Sea, tame the Great White Mallard, Moby Duck, and enter the fabled Mines of King Habbakuk. Will they find the treasure? Will they make it out alive? And will we find the budget for some decent locations now we’re doing this on audio? Find out the answers to all this and much, much less in The Treacle People: Still Sticky.
