A hilarious fantasy spoof from the 2002 winner of the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards / PUSH Novel Contest. In this tongue-in-cheek fantasy adventure, Jason, a peasant, and Chris, royal assistant to the king (but secretly a gnome), stumble across the kingdom on an urgent mission from the lovely Princess Jennifer. They'll deliver her secret message and win the princess' favor...if they can make it past a poisoned omelet, a prophetic desert mirage, the river of fiery combustion, and, of course, Dr. Troll. A hilarious debut from a teenage author!
