A high-energy, laugh-out-loud, fully illustrated adventure story by much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented artist Anita Mangan, creators of Top 10 Fiction Bestsellers The Fart That Changed the World and The Great Reindeer Rescue. A laugh-out-loud, wildly imaginative twist on THE WIZARD OF OZ as a boy gets flushed down a toilet and discovers a magical world in trouble: the queen has completely lost her sense of humour and banned any mirth of any kind. As the boy navigates the world by popping up in various locations via toilets, he encounters a whole host of wacky people and creatures and must find out who has robbed the queen of her funny bone and return it to her, before the inhabitants of the world forget how to laugh and enjoy life, FOREVER. Wildly funny, delightfully imaginative storytelling with a message that any kid can be a hero! Packed with pictures by Stephen Mangan's sister Anita Mangan.
