Synopsis

When the quill writes GO GO GO frantically on the wall, and the House of the Ancient Crones heaves Gracie Gillypot outside onto the path, it can mean only one thing: there’s Trouble in the Five Kingdoms. This time it’s in the form of a beady-eyed, green-tongued witch named Truda Hangnail, who with her banished Deep Magic has vowed to succeed Queen Bluebell on the throne. Now that her horrible spell has shrunk the good witches of Wadington to the size of, well, rats, can anything stop her? Will the strengths, smarts, and charms of a spunky trueheart, a sweet-natured orphan, a scruffy prince, a substantial troll, and two squabbling bats be enough to foil her insidious plot?“Readers won’t be disappointed by this fractured fairy-tale follow-up.” —Booklist“Fans…will be much amused by the dashing about, the quick brushes with danger, and the undercurrents of budding romance.” —Kirkus Reviews

Goodreads review by Jay on July 06, 2012

I would talk in a laid back stoner's voice for Marlon. For Alf, I'd use a high-pitcher, very exuberant "little kid" voice. For Truda Hangnail, I'd get to use my creaky witchy voice. Do I have a troll voice?!? This book would be a great read aloud. So many fun characters and a story that bounces along......more
