Jimba Jackobean and the Bouncer Bangerrings by Alexis Tapp

This is Mayor Whitterkins, the mayor of JackoWhisp Village. He lives with his wife, Hilda, at Number 1 Whippoorwill Avenue in a very posh house with beautiful wrought iron gates.

Of course that is the same village where noisy Jimba Jackobean lives.

Mayor Whitterkins is a very busy man and has a lot of important things to do, and many pressing problems to solve in the first book in the JackoWhisp Series of childrens story books, Jimba Jackobean and the Bouncer Bangerrings.

One of Mayor Whitterkin’s biggest problems is trying to work out what is stopping the people of JackoWhisp Village from getting a good night’s sleep every night.

Here’s a quick quiz for you:

1. Use your imagination to guess what was stopping the village people from sleeping soundly.
2. Who might help Mayor Whitterkins solve the problem? Type your answer in the comments box below this story.
3. What are wrought iron gates? Find a picture of some on the internet, then draw some designs for wrought iron gates for other houses in JackoWhisp village.

Who is Jimba Jackobean?

Jimba Jackobean is the main character in the first book of the Jack-o-Whisp series, ‘Jimba Jackobean and the Bouncer-Bangerrings’. Jack-o-Whispers are quiet, peaceful folk who live in Jack-o-Whisp Village, close to Bangerring Mountain.

Jimba is different from other Jack-o-Whisper because he is NOISY! He can’t help being noisy, it’s just the way he is. He isn’t naughty or anything, in fact he tries to be very helpful, like when he tried to help Mr Jitter-Jump at the town meeting. You can read all about what happened at that very important meeting in the book ‘Jimba Jackobean and the Bouncer-Bangerrings.’

Jimba lives with his parents and sister, Jessica. He goes to Jack-o-Whisp school and is in the fourth grade. If you haven’t downloaded yours yet, there’s a free colourful poster for you of Jimba on his way to school at www.AlexisTapp.com

Mrs Jickelby is Jimba’s teacher, and you will meet her in this first book, and in the second book, ‘Jimba Jackobean and the Octodillioes’, Mrs Jickelby takes Jimba and the fourth grade students in a bus on a field trip to the beach.

Jessica, Jimba’s sister, thinks he is the noisiest Jack-o-Whisper ever, and she is probably right . You will read about her in one of my stories called ‘Jessica Jackobean and the Quillarills’. Jessica plays a musical instrument and one day when Jimba is being his usual noisy self, she gets so annoyed that she goes off to Jindleberry Woodland, to find some  peace and quiet to practice. It is here she meets the Quillarills, who live inside the Billy-Bubble trees and compose music…
