The heroes of the Super Happy Magic Forest are off on a new quest, and it might just be too hot for them to handle. For reasons that we won’t go into – but are definitely Blossom the unicorn’s fault – Tiddlywink, the Super Happy Magic Forest’s short-tempered pixie counsellor has been trapped in a Cube of Doom (like a malevolent Rubrik’s Cube) and releasing him means visiting the Almighty Oracle, an additional quest to collect three Desert Trial Gems and assorted trials associated with this. Phew!
Our heroes undertake this in their usual way, with quite a bit of frolicking and a fair amount of bickering too. Now also a TV series, the funny, brightly illustrated adventure books are super-enjoyable and certain to make young readers super-happy.

When Blossom, the unicorn accidentally traps Tiddlywink the pixie in an ancient puzzle cube, all hope now rests on the shoulders of five brave heroes of the Super Happy Magic Forest, who must journey all the way to the mysterious Distant Desert for answers before the sands of time run out. But with cacti gladiators, a down-on-her-luck genie, and a rebellious magic carpet to contend with-it's not going to be an easy ride!
Packed with incredible illustrations—this fantasy adventure is great for young readers. A really funny read-perfect for fans of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.
