The action takes place in the home of Max Merridew, on board the Ugly Mermaid pirate ship, in the palace of Princess Fifi-Fluffikins, on the dusty plains of the Wild West, at the heart of a spooky forest, on a spaceship in a galaxy far, far away and in the Chocolate Troll’s secret cavern.

Legend has it that somewhere beyond the mountains, in a far and distant land, there is a cold and desolate place where it always rains but nothing ever grows. By a stagnant pool, in a dank, dripping cave lives a miserable being. A hairy, lumbering beast whose only goal in life is to make everyone as miserable as him. And he does this by stealing . . . chocolate.
When no-one is looking and when you least expect it, the creature will strike. The chocolate is gone and with it all the good cheer it brings.

Max Merridew loves chocolate and is waiting for the perfect moment to unwrap the greatest chocolate bar in the world. But could he get an unwanted visitor before he has had chance to taste it? Beware the Chocolate Troll!
