This whimsical chapter book introduces readers to the Five Kingdoms, starting with Lady Lamorna, a sorceress determined to acquire a very expensive, skull-studded robe. Her methods involve kidnapping, blackmail, and plenty of black magic, setting the stage for a delightful clash between good and evil. The story follows the heroic Gracie Gillypot, along with a cast of quirky characters like chatty bats, a scruffy prince, and a troll, as they work to thwart the sorceress's schemes. Praised for its language play and nonsense, this book offers a fast-paced, humorous adventure that rewards goodness and punishes evil in a satisfyingly wicked way, making it an excellent read-aloud or independent read for children aged 4-11.
