Invention after invention propels this witty new Muddle Earth story by best-selling duo Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. Joe turns up in Muddle Earth entirely by accident when he falls through a portal while trying to build a flat-pack wardrobe. But he arrives just in the nick of time as Muddle Earth badly needs a hero. How Joe sets about trying to find and rescue the Goblet of Porridge which has been so cruelly stolen is a delightfully unlikely and utterly hilarious story of some most unexpected events. Chris Riddell’s stunning illustrations bring the strange world vividly to light.
The eagerly waited, brilliantly bonkers, ingeniously inventive and utterly fantastic sequel to MUDDLE EARTH ... has landed! Get prepared for another epic battle between the forces of good, evil and everything in between.
Once upon a time, a spell went very wrong - and Joe Jefferson found himself transported to Muddle Earth, where the wizards are mad, the pink stinky hogs are stinky, and the jokes are truly terrible. Now, two years later, Muddle Earth needs him back. But even with his Wellies of Power, Woolly Gloves of Determination and a saucepan on his head, can Joe Jefferson really defeat the terrifying spectre of evil that threatens to destroy Muddle Earth?
