Comedy series based on the exciting adventures of 9 year-old Pickle Storm who has to flee her fantasy world of Kleftania - a world of magic, dragons and warriors - and seek refuge in the everyday UK town of Middlington.

With her mother Lystra (a battle-hardened warrior) and her father Hendrick (an eccentric wizard), the headstrong and determined Pickle tries her best to settle into life on Earth, or 'Ee'arth' as she calls it.

While Pickle joins the local primary school, Lystra takes a job in a supermarket and Hendrick gets involved in the local community. However, their efforts to blend in are constantly thwarted by over enthusiasm and cultural misunderstandings.

What's more Pickle finds she creates uncontrollable and highly random acts of magic.

These Mood Magic moments have all sorts of unintended consequences - causing a teacher to shrink, making her best friend invisible, turning a sunflower into a monster and producing a snowstorm out of thin air.

Fortunately, Pickle has the support of her new best friend, Mia, and her trusty Kleftanian pet, Swumpy the Warthoffle. Together they'll overcome Pickle's pompous headteacher, Mr Ludcomb, her nemesis classmate, Roland, and the bemused neighbours, Derek and Yasmin.
