•SQUELCH A STORY BY CHARLIE BROOM.WELCOME TO TIC-TAC-TOE
The land of Tic-Tac-Toe is to the left of your vision it is always there yet if you blink you will miss it. Fortunately I have had a bump on the head, a prerequisite for multiple journeys to this mixed up gibberish of a place. Our hero Squelch is of good and nearly good stock, the unlikely outcome of a union between a well known stolen racehorse and that woman with all the snakes on her head. Squelch is unorthodox in actual fact he has no religion, he has five legs, two arms, banana skin, removable orange eyes and pink / sky blue candyfloss hair, which people are always helping themselves to. Pretty average looking when all is said and done.
For work he keeps himself busy as a self- employed hurdler. Often winning although either very drunk or very silly people back him. Yes I have won a few pound on him, enabling me to spend my life writing. In his spare time Squelch likes to play the amateur detective, finding lost socks, marbles, chasing the culprits who knocked down ginger, solving the murder in the dark, and calling out the blind mans bluff.
Today is like any other the blue sun rises, grumpily as usual, she is not a morning person and shines her beautiful rainbow filed hues over the land. If she decided not to get up then everywhere would be dreary and grey, not much fun at all, so it has been decided that when she is altogether too cross, usually at the end of the day, the people would put a nice cool blanket on her and let her rest. After all hanging around all day is no good for anyone, so there is no surprise that she has a moody temperament. Squelch trots out of his bed, then over to his patio sugar-glass doors.

A Quirky and Fun Adventure
The narrator really brought Squelch and the land of Tic-Tac-Toe to life with all the quirky characters and silly situations. Squelch is such an oddball, with his five legs and candyfloss hair, and the story had me laughing throughout. It’s the perfect listen if you want something light and humorous. The whole thing feels like a playful escape into a bizarre and entertaining world. I had a great time with it!

A Whodunit Mystery Adventure
Squelch and the Case of the Missing Scapegoat" is a quirky, imaginative mystery that delivers a delightful blend of humor, intrigue, and memorable characters. Set in a world where the bizarre is the norm, Squelch—a reluctant detective with a knack for getting into trouble—takes on his most unusual case yet: finding a missing scapegoat. Yes, an actual scapegoat.
The plot is filled with twists and turns as Squelch navigates a tangled web of suspects, from the eccentric townspeople to unlikely animals with secret motives. What makes this story particularly enjoyable is the author’s ability to balance lighthearted comedy with clever mystery elements, making the book feel both whimsical and engaging.
Squelch himself is a refreshingly imperfect protagonist. His dry wit and sarcastic observations bring a unique voice to the narrative, and his interactions with the equally odd supporting cast—each with their own secrets—add to the charm. The dialogue is sharp and entertaining, keeping readers hooked as they unravel the clues along with the detective.
This book is perfect for readers who enjoy offbeat mysteries with a touch of absurdity. It’s fun, fast-paced, and full of unexpected surprises. "Squelch and the Case of the Missing Scapegoat" proves that even the strangest of mysteries can make for a thoroughly entertaining read.

Unique and entertaining
This audiobook is a wonderfully bizarre and imaginative tale that transports readers to the whimsical land of Tic-Tac-Toe, where nothing makes sense yet everything feels oddly right. The quirky hero, Squelch, is delightfully unorthodox, making every page a joy to read as he embarks on his strange yet humorous adventures. The writing is both playful and witty, filled with whimsical descriptions and colourful characters, like the grumpy blue sun, that bring this magical world to life.

Unique Story
Charles Broom's The Land of Tic-Tac-Toe is a delightful and imaginative journey into a world that is both familiar and utterly bizarre. With its quirky characters, absurd plotlines, and unexpected twists, this novel offers a refreshing escape from the mundane.
The protagonist, Squelch, is a truly unique individual. His appearance, with removable eyes and candyfloss hair, is as unconventional as his personality. Despite his unusual traits, Squelch is a relatable and endearing character who is easy to root for. His adventures, from his detective work to his hurdling career, are both hilarious and heartwarming.
Broom's writing style is witty and engaging. He has a knack for creating vivid imagery and crafting humorous dialogue. The world of Tic-Tac-Toe is both fantastical and grounded in a certain kind of logic, making it a truly immersive experience.
If you're looking for a fun and lighthearted read, The Land of Tic-Tac-Toe is definitely worth checking out. It's a perfect escape for anyone who appreciates a good dose of humor and imagination.
