Synopsis

Jester. Juggler. Joker. Jerk. Malfred Murd might be talented, but he’s undeniably abrasive— and he’s pushed the limits of humor right into a ditch.

Sacked from his cushy gig on the Royal island, Fred is left playing bootleg shows in dirtwater towns where crowds are scarce and meals are sparse. His only fan is an infuriatingly optimistic magpie who thinks he’s helping when he steals a bag full of shinies.

But the bag belongs to the ruler of a Tekologically advanced country that, just like Fred, is deep in Royal disfavor. And as our former funnyman blunders into that noble lady’s desperate plan to save her people, all three Hells break hilariously loose!

Enjoy laughter, danger and unforgettable characters galore in this “cleverly plotted, twisty novel with a gratifying conclusion” (the BookLife Prize).

About this title

About the Author

Eva Sandor's first first book came out when she was only five--it was a coloring book. "Save The Wild", sold in her native Chicago to benefit endangered species, kicked off her unusually long career as an illustrator. But now she's painting with words, indulging the writerly side of herself that was there all along.

Eva is a graduate of Carnegie-Mellon University, where she learned to work and play hard in equal proportion, and of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the perfect environment for her alternately wry and ridiculous sense of humor. She lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, their horse and a constant stream of creative projects.
