Wed Wabbit

About this book

Your name is Fidge and you're nearly eleven. You've been hurled into a strange world.
/br>You have three companions: two are unbelievably weird and the third is your awful cousin, Graham. You have to solve a series of nearly impossible clues.

You need to deal with a cruel stuffed animal dictator and three thousand Wimbley Woos (yes, you read that sentence correctly).

And the whole situation — the whole, entire thing — is your fault.

Wed Wabbit is an adventure about friendship, danger, and the terror of never being able to get back home again. And it's funny. It's seriously funny.
