Meet the Mud Crew

Five kids. Five monster trucks. One unbreakable crew.

Every kid has their own monster truck, and they share a special bond: when the kid is brave, kind or patient, their truck can do amazing things.

Pip and Wren — PostmarkClub character illustration
Bravery

Pip & Wren

Pip is the smallest in the crew and Wren is the smallest truck, sunshine-yellow with big knobbly tyres. Together they climb where the big trucks can't. Scared? Breathe in for 4, out for 4… and go.

Ada and Boru — PostmarkClub character illustration
Teamwork

Ada & Boru

Ada is the calm, fair leader. Boru is the biggest truck in the valley, moss-green with a mighty winch. He only goes full power when everyone's ready. “Every wheel matters!”

Rory and Comet — PostmarkClub character illustration
Patience

Rory & Comet

Rory is fast, funny and hates waiting. Comet is cherry-red and built for big jumps, but he only grips the mud when Rory slows down and listens. “Ready, set… wait for it!”

Sadie and Rattlebolt — PostmarkClub character illustration
Imagination

Sadie & Rattlebolt

Sadie sketches wild ideas. Rattlebolt is the bright-orange gadget truck with a periscope, umbrella arm and grabber claw (most of them work!). “What if we tried…?”

Ollie and Moss — PostmarkClub character illustration
Empathy

Ollie & Moss

Ollie uses a wheelchair and notices feelings before anyone else. Moss is the steady teal rescue truck with a lift-ramp and hand controls, the gentlest rescuer around. “Let's slow down and listen.”

…and the gang at Pops & Nana's Garage

Pops (Keith) — PostmarkClub character illustration
The forgetful genius

Pops (Keith)

An old mechanic who can't find his glasses (they're on his head). Everyone doubts his wobbly inventions… right up until they save the day.

Nana (Kay) — PostmarkClub character illustration
Kind, wise, nobody's fool

Nana (Kay)

Warm hugs, strong tea and a look that stops mischief at fifty paces. “Kind isn't the same as soft.”

Cookie and Pint — PostmarkClub character illustration
The garage dogs

Cookie & Pint

Cookie is a cuddly Cavalier who'd do anything for a sausage roll. Pint is a clever collie cross who hears all the valley gossip and brings back clues.
