CAST OF CHARACTERS
ZAPPER
No one asked this cricket whether he wanted to save the world
— but somebody’s got to do it! With your help, Zapper will face
every challenge and defeat any foe as he attempts to rescue
Zipper from the clutches of Maggie the Magpie.
ZIPPER
Every little grub wants to be just like his older brother — play
the same games, scarf the same snacks, watch the same shows
— and Zipper is no different. It’s Zipper’s disappearance after a
tussle over the TV that leads to Zapper’s quest to rescue his
little brother from the thieving magpie!
MAGGIE THE MAGPIE
This greedy thief is attracted to shiny objects, and she wants
them all for her nest! Unfortunately, Zipper is one of them. To
make matters worse, Maggie is depositing eggs throughout the
land that will hatch and release baby magpies who will help her
collect ALL of the shiny and blinking baubles in the world.

BE THE CRICKET!
Meet Zapper — the fastest, coolest, most electrifying cricket in the known universe!
And meet Maggie — a greedy grump of a magpie who loves to decorate her nest
with shiny baubles that she steals from throughout the land. In place of these
trinkets, Maggie leaves behind eggs, which hatch into more magpies, who steal
even more! Maggie must be stopped!
Unfortunately (for her!), Maggie nabbed Zapper’s younger brother Zipper and carried
him to her nest far away. Now it’s up to Zapper to rescue his little bro and put an
end to Maggie’s reign of thievery. It won’t be easy — Zapper’s curious world is
crowded with pitfalls and unpleasant creatures. But with his innate abilities, firefly
friends and, of course, help from you, he just might have a chance.
