A hilarious send-up of fantasy quest novels, perfect for fans of Adam
Gidwitz and Jon Scieszka.
Welcome to the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle! **
**
Great Kerfuffle is really great. And there's usually a kerfuffle (the
clue's in the name really). This particular kerfuffle started the day
Stinkbomb's twenty dollar bill went missing. Stinkbomb and his little
sister Ketchup-Face know exactly who took it: the badgers. After all,
they're called badgers because they do bad things; otherwise
they'd just be gers.
They bring news of the badgers' treachery to King Toothbrush Weasel
(don't get us started on the story behind his name...), who sends them
on a quest to rid the land of badgers. What follows is a full on
kerfuffle-fest, containing: one deep dark forest, a grocery cart in
distress, a song about jam--and, of course, a band of very tricky
badgers.
Be prepared to laugh your socks off, and maybe your ears, too.
