Grumpy old King Chisel has a problem.
He needs an heir to his kingdom - fast! So he challenges the best kids from across the country to compete in the Crown Duels, with the ultimate winner becoming king or queen. Step forward:
GLORIA SQUAT-FURTHER: champion athlete
HUXLEY BEELINE: mathematical genius

The ridiculous prime minister, Farting Bernie, is in charge and the contest swiftly descend into chaos. Who will rise to the top and survive wild sabotaging, saggy royal pants, the most disgusting meal ever invented, and a pair of frisky goats?

Stephen on writing for children (interview on ITV's
Lorraine):
“Every page has to grip them, make
them laugh, be interesting because they can drop it. There are
screens everywhere that they can pick up. That’s part of
the reason why I started writing books because I had such fun as
a kid reading books. I always had my head in a book. I wanted to
write books that were unputdownable for children, that were full
of adventure and crazy big characters and made them laugh.”
