Note to parents: this graphic novel is NOT for kids!

Six-year-old Gertrude is transported to Fairyland for a magical adventure. Ruler Queen Cloudia assigns her a sidekick, Larry, and sends her on a quest to find the key that will send her home.

Almost 30 years later, Gertrude is still searching for it - now an angry adult perpetually trapped in a child's body, with her voyage through Fairyland growing increasingly violent. When the outraged Queen Cloudia sends a rival child on the same quest for the sole key to freedom, does Gertrude have any chance of getting home?

This was a funny, gore-filled delight that mixes childish whimsy with classic horror - the Crypt Keeper crossed with Willy Wonka. The creative censorship of foul language was a particular source of amusement for me. I lapped it up in one sitting, and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Enjoy!
