When the not-so-intrepid Mr Sharpe finds a stranger unfurling in his kitchen, little does he realise that he is going to be dragged through an eye-rolling, jaw-flapping, thigh-slapping world of magic and mayhem. Queen Queenie and her lover have lost their son. That’s right, mislaid him. They can’t remember where they’ve put him and now they want him back. All they know is two things: that they placed him in another world for safe-keeping and that his name is John Sharpe. So they start sorting through the lot…
King McElroy is safe in the knowledge that Queenie, having been stripped of her magic, can’t return to Underworld – or can she? In this exciting and silly adventure through a magical world, the Underlings experience war for the first time. As McElroy and Queenie fight for the best of three in the hopes of winning the throne for themselves, McCavity catches up with an old friend, Una Plumb. Who will win the war and the hearts of all in Underworld? Who exactly is Una Plumb? And what sort of schemes have the Underlings got themselves into this time?
