Alfie would love to win the School Conker Championship. But with Conor Hoolihan on his team and Whacker Walsh cheating all the time, he has no chance. He needs to find a Super Cracking Conker, and he needs to find one fast.


Alfie must travel through the Skeleton Woods of Arcania to find the last great king of the conker warriors.


Will the Conker King part with his winning conker?

'Action-packed, full of fantasy and fun and will strike a chord with all boys who have ever played conkers with their friends.' - Clare Champion

'O’Brien’s characteristic mix of adventure, humour and celebration of the natural environment, together with Texier’s complementary black and white drawings, should particularly appeal to boys of between 6 and 8, and to reluctant readers of up to 10. The book is beautifully produced: colourful hardback covers, large print, short chapters, which are guaranteed to give young readers a sense of achievement, and endpapers with a superb map of the wonderful world of Alfie Green.' - INIS

'This book is a great choice for boys and girls who are just starting to read for themselves and like a funny story.' - Irish Independent
