What to expect
KNICK-KNACK, PADDY WHACK, BETTY’S BACK!
When the twin princesses fall under a dreadful spell, little Betty and her gang must find the cure — oh, and stop a wicked wizard from building a theme park on the island of Little Dollop. Iced bun, JOB DONE!
For readers of You’re A Bad Man, Mr Gum and Grimwood!
The princesses of Wobbly Rock, Pam and Pamm, have swooned into a coma, thanks to a bunch of poisonous daffodils inadvertently given to them by Betty’s swashbuckling, moustachioed 11-year-old cousin, Freddy Steady. Now the gang must go in search of nefarious weasels on the island of Little Dollop to find the cure. But the wicked sorcerer Hearty Stu has plans of his own for the princesses. And our noble stallion Simon Anderson has plans for Freddy Steady’s SUPER annoying green unicorn Salad whom he doesn’t like even a tiny little bit no sir nuh-uh.
