On Earth, William Snottengrout appears to be just an ordinary 11-year- old boy with mousy hair and sticky out ears. He and his friend Ellie are constantly being picked on by the school bully, Fat Freddy, who makes their life a misery. And if that were not bad enough, William’s father vanished two years ago—under mysterious circumstances…

Then, one day, something happens that turns William’s whole world around. A strange old man in the local park tells him that he is not just an ordinary boy, but a Warlord and a Prince. His missing father is King of a magical land called ‘Umbajumba’, and has been imprisoned by his evil uncle, Gangor, who has stolen the throne. The sacred writings of Umbajumba decree that only William can save his father—and the entire kingdom—from Gangor’s evil clutches. William bravely undertakes the quest, but unfortunately Fat Freddy is transported back to Umbajumba with him!

James Cowey has written a great adventure full of action, humour and excitement! His immensely enjoyable tale will leave you wanting more!

I came across this book completely by accident and thought I would give it a go. It sounded like an exciting tale and lived up to all my expectations. Every time I read a chapter, I found myself wanting to read on and did so until it was finished. The characters, creatures and locations were (excuse the pun) out of this world. I found this journey through Umbajumba was funny, exciting, sad and at times a little scary. Both William and Freddy reminded me of my school days and Pikinee and Oni complimented them well. (My 14 year old son, also enjoyed it.)
