A high-energy, laugh-out-loud, fully illustrated adventure
story by much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented artist
Anita Mangan.
Grumpy old King Chisel has a problem.
He needs an heir to his kingdom - fast! So he challenges the best
kids from across the country to compete in the Crown Duels, with
the ultimate winner becoming king or queen. Step forward:
GLORIA SQUAT-FURTHER: champion athlete
HUXLEY BEELINE: mathematical genius
JONNY MOULD: artistic ace
GOSSAMER FOUNTAIN: empathy expert
HARRY SPONGE: ordinary boy. Not to be underestimated.
The ridiculous prime minister, Farting Bernie, is in charge and
the contest swiftly descend into chaos. Who will rise to the top
and survive wild sabotaging, saggy royal pants, the most disgusting
meal ever invented, and a pair of frisky goats?
The wildly funny, brilliantly silly adventure
from the bestselling author and illustrator of Escape the Rooms
and The Fart That Changed the World.
Wildly funny, delightfully imaginative storytelling with a message
