They’re supposed to cure the twelve-year-old of his stammer, but more often than not he’s lucky to escape with all of his limbs intact. He has an accident at a local science fair when his secret formula spills onto his neighbour’s harmless picnic basket. This creates a creature that starts to abduct the villages of Little Codswallop, replacing them with not so perfect copies. Jake and his family have to come up with a plan to stop the man-eating picnic basket taking over the planet. And try to avoid Granddad’s crazy inventions.
