"Star-crossed food friends convince their fellow fruit and veg to give peas peace a chance"
This is the story of a forbidden friendship that leads to reconciliation between two sides who’ve been at loggerheads for as long as anyone can remember.
Grape and Mushroom are best friends, but they can’t play together because the Fruit and the Vegetables just can’t stop fighting. Their only hope is to visit the Wise Old Cheese on the Top Shelf of the fridge, something no morsel has ever managed before.
The journey is arduous and full of peril, and when they finally reach the top shelf, the Cheese is sleepy (and rather whiffy). Despite their fears, he comes to help in all his mouldy glory. Peace is established and nowadays Fruit and Vegetables get on really well, and if things do get tense, there’s an old Mushroom and a shrivelled Grape ready to set a different example …
The story is deliciously silly, packed with jokes and preposterous situations, but with an important message about tolerance and understanding too. It’s also lots of fun to look at, Alex Latimer giving his cast of tasty characters real character.
