| book description |

A hilarious fairy-tale adventure packed with capers, chaos and plenty of chocolate cake. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl, Eva Ibbotson and Laura Ellen Anderson. When Monny the ogre accidentally destroys the village bakery, the Pepper family’s business is left in ruins. To say sorry, Monny offers to take them to Ogreville, where he’s sure that Good King Ogle will grant them a new bakery if they make him a chocolate cake. Because all ogres love chocolate cake. But when Jimmy, Maudie, Gran and Monny arrive in Ogreville, they find the palace in disarray. Good King Ogle has been removed from the throne, and his heir – Prince Pomlet – is throwing an almighty tantrum about becoming king. At the centre of the chaos is an ogre named Hogspittle, who’s determined to take power for himself. Can Jimmy, Maudie, Gran and Monny restore King Ogle to the throne before it’s too late?
