Cucumber Quest: The Doughnut Kingdom (Cucumber Quest, 1)
Description
Join nerdy magician Cucumber and his feisty knight-in-training little sister, Almond, as they set out to retrieve the Dream Sword, the only weapon powerful enough to defeat Evil Queen Cordelia's Nightmare Knight. But a legendary hero's journey can never be smooth. When Cucumber and Almond finally reach the Oracle, she has mistakenly given the Dream Sword to the thieving Saturday! Will they be able to get the sword back and save the world from total destruction? What happens when an evil queen gets her hands on an ancient force of destruction? World domination, obviously. The seven kingdoms of Dreamside need a legendary hero. Instead, they'll have to settle for Cucumber, a nerdy magician who just wants to go to school. As destiny would have it, he and his more heroic sister, Almond, must now seek the Dream Sword, the only weapon powerful enough to defeat Queen Cordelia’s Nightmare Knight. Can these bunny siblings really save the world in its darkest hour? Sure, why not?
