Book description

Poor Prince Marvin, the Meek! His twin sister, Princess Gusty Ox may be built like a battle ship but Marvin has always been a bit...physically feeble. It's not surprising his sister bullies him. But, when his father King Cudgel's best suits are ruined by mysterious globs of green gloop, things get even worse. It seems that Harry the Hairy Green Giant has caught a cold and the King orders Prince Marvin to sort him out. If Prince Marvin can cure the giant and prove himself, his sister won't be able to bully him any more. But first he needs a little help from Crackle the court magician...This is the second laugh-a-minute historical adventure in The Crunchbone Castle Chronicles. Karen Wallace has published many children's books, including Think Of An Eel which won the Emil Kurt Maschler Award. Her first novel for older readers, Raspberries On The Yangtze was shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Prize and the sequel Climbing a Monkey Puzzle Tree, was the Sunday Times book of the week.
