Shinoy and the Chaos Crew When Shinoy downloads the Chaos Crew app on his phone, a glitch in the system gives him the power to summon his TV heroes into his world.

With the team on board,, Shinoy can figure out what dastardly plans the red-eyed S.N.A.I.R., a Super Nasty Artificial Intelligent Robot, has come up with, and save the day.

1 The game show “Hello and welcome to …

Tricky Contacts!”

Shinoy’s nerves tingled as Darren Duncan, the host of his favourite TV quiz, introduced the show.

He couldn’t believe he’d been chosen to take part.

“And with us tonight, we have Shinoy from Flat Hill.

Tell us, Shinoy, what do you like doing in your spare time?”

“Er, I go on crazy adventures with my heroes.”

He was telling the truth, but Darren chuckled. “Great!

And tonight, on Tricky Contacts!, which two random people from Shinoy’s contacts list —” he waved Shinoy’s phone — “have been chosen to join you to complete three challenges?”

The studio audience

Music boomed as the lights lowered and spotlights lit up curtains at the side of the stage. The curtains pulled apart and Salama jumped out like a ninja.

Salama? thought Shinoy.

How was she in his contacts list? And why was she wearing a dress?

“Wow!” said Darren.

“Welcome to Sally. You look like you’re ready for battle.”

Shinoy realised that Salama was in disguise.

“Is this a challenge unto death?” Salama asked.

The audience laughed.

“No,” said Darren, “just until the horn honks.

But I like your sense of drama, sweetheart.”

“I am not your sweetheart,” she whispered, with menace in her eyes, “but I will be your undoing.”

“I’m not sure what that means,” said Darren nervously.

“OK! Let’s find out who’s next from Shinoy’s contact list.”

Shinoy was hoping it would be Toby, or even his sister, Myra.

The curtains opened and out stepped … Dad. Oh no, thought Shinoy, not Dad! Shinoy’s dad waved awkwardly to the audience and caught his hand in the curtain.

Salama raised an eyebrow at Shinoy. “He is fortunate only a honking horn awaits him.”

“It’s Shinoy’s dad,” continued Darren. “Welcome to the show. You’re a postman, which must mean a lot of walking?”

Dad nodded. “I cover more miles than I can count, but there’s a lot more to being a postal worker than walking.”

Darren gave a cheesy grin. “Fantastic! Let’s get on with the show!”
