Buckle and Squash: The Perilous Princess Plot

(3) 1-3 Wannabe princess Lavender is mistaken for a real princess by the evil-but-incompetent kidnapper Mordmont. It's up to her fearless sister Eliza and reluctant goat Gertrude to rescue her. The droll debut brims with madcap jokes à la Monty Python: there are puns galore, unnecessary footnotes, and apologies for characters taking naps in the middle of chapters. Childlike pencil illustrations complement the silliness.
