Synopsis

“WE HAVE COME TO CONQUER YOU... AS LONG AS THAT’S OKAY.” If you hear those words, you know that Clonk the Clonkerer and his Bug Barian friends are in your neighborhood. You're about to be conquered in the best possible way - with Viking fun. Better yet, it’s Bug Barian fun. Sail away with a crazy crew of diminutive heroes wearing tiny horns. It’s Clonk the Clonkerer, the Mighty Huntoon, Eddik the Dread, Monte, Flo, Valleri and her pet aphid, Thor. They’re the Bug Barians and you’ll never know what they've been up to. Look high up in the air sometime, and you just might catch a glimpse of the Bug Barians sailing above City Park riding the summer breeze in their Leaf Boat, the Leaf Erikson. All they need is a little luck, a gust of wind and.... whooosh! They're off. What are the Bug Barians searching for? Adventure. Today’s destination? Anywhere the wind takes them. It’s not far away but getting there won’t be easy. The Bug Barians never know who or what they’ll meet along the way. Their world is filled with grumpy squirrels, a big yellow kite, unpredictable weather, and of course, Clonk the Clonkerer. Everything is guaranteed to go haywire when Clonk is around but that is what makes the adventure full of fun. Will the Bug Barians complete their mission and actually get from here to there in one piece? They’ll know when they get there.... and get there they will. As Clonk the Clonkerer would say: “ONWARD AND AWKWARD!” Written by Hallmark Channel Writer/Producer Marty Byk and illustrated by JoAnn DiMaggio, “The Bug Barians” is a brand new children’s story filled with exciting characters and funny situations that children ages 5 and up will love. And parents will too. It’s a book you’ll remember forever. All it takes is a little luck, a good gust of wind and you. WHOOOSH! Now everyone’s a Bug Barian. ALL FOR BUGS AND BUGS FOR ALL!

About the Author:

Marty Byk is a long time Television Writer & Producer.  He currently spends his time freelancing at Hallmark Channel and other family friendly ventures.  "The Bug Barians®" began it's life as an idea for a children's animated series but the little buggers decided that they'd rather come out as a book instead.  And how can you argue with a bunch of little bugs in Viking helmets?  You can't.  They can make things rather difficult if you get on their wrong side.   Next, they had to conquer an true artist to bring them to life.  That's where  JoAnn DiMaggio came in.  She dazzled The Bug Barians® with her talents and showed the tiny critter what they could really look like.  In fact,  she made them even better than they already were.   They'll never admit it, but JoAnn not only captured The Bug Barians®, she conquered them.   The Bug Barians® is the first of a trilogy of books that tell the tale of some crazy bugs who'll go anywhere and everywhere.  And oh, will they.  The bugs are impatiently waiting to see where Marty and JoAnn will take them next.  Both promise that it will be spectacular.
