Fairy Folk Magic

Zombies. The fae realm is overrun with zombies. Against all odds, I mastered the magic gifted to me by the gods and won the Faerie Games - a twisted, televised game to the death. After winning the Games, I was supposed to be free to return home to Earth. But that was a lie. Now a deadly plague is rampaging the realm. The Otherworld is dying, and I might have the power to save it. If I can pull it off, it’ll be the perfect bargaining chip to get back home. I’d be a lot more confident if my soulmate, Julian, was fighting by my side. But he broke my heart and turned on me.

In the race to create the Undefeatable Minion, Dr. Critchlore’s longtime rival, Dr. Pravus, is winning. As Dr. Critchlore rallies his troops, Runt is kidnapped. As the last prince of Andirat, he must lead the rebellion in his home country. Isolated from his minion friends, Runt grows suspicious of the rebels, who seem to be working with Dr. Pravus.

His only chance for survival: Stop Dr. Pravus and win the allegiance of the witch who cursed him.

Runt Higgins has a long to-do list. He needs to find out who cursed him, and why; he needs to make up with his best friend, Syke; and he needs to pass the Junior Henchman Training Program.

To find it, Runt must travel to icy Upper Worb and battle gyrfalcons, yetis...and the loathsome team from Dr. Pravus’s school.

Der er også skåret en del i de meget grusomme straffe, så de bliver knap så grusomme. En særdeles børnevenlig og højtlæsningsegnet udgave af brødrene Grimms eventyr – også for mindre børn.
