Summary

The web of power looks smooth and peaceful -- until a new threat looms -- in the fifth tale from the Five Kingdoms.

Prince Albion expects a unique occasion when he starts planning Cockenzie Rood Day to celebrate his kingdom -- and himself. What he doesn't expect is boppings on the head and kidnapping, all because a zombie wants to play his fiddle in the talent contest. With a misbehaving path, a romantic bat, and a greedy butler to set them on their way, Gracie Gillypot and Prince Marcus are off on their fifth adventure. It's up to a Trueheart, a resourceful prince, and Gubble the troll to stop the zombie before he does some giant damage to the Five Kingdoms.

Horn Book Review

The adventures of Trueheart Gracie Gillypot continue. In this installment, Gracie and friends are called upon to save the inept Prince Albion from the machinations of an aspiring musician who happens to be a zombie. French adds new characters to the perennially entertaining series, and Collins's absurdly funny line drawings are a delight. Fans of Gracie and company won't be disappointed. (c) Copyright 2014.
