Pity King Cudgel! His twin children - Prince Marvin the Meek and Princess Gusty Ox - fight all the time. And ever since his wife, Queen Carrion, disappeared after going out dragon hunting, no one has been able to stop them. As a last resort he devises a challenge for them with the help of Cackle the court magician. If the twins fail, King Cudgel will hand over the kingdom to their soppy cousin, Godric, the Geek - an unbearable thought! King Cudgel's Challenge follows the painful and hilarious process of Prince Marvin and Princess Gusty Ox as they learn to get on with each other and is the first title in a series of laugh-out-loud historical adventures.
Poor Prince Marvin, the Meek! His twin sister, Princess Gusty Ox may be built like a battle ship but Marvin has always been a bit...physically feeble. It's not surprising his sister bullies him. But, when his father King Cudgel's best suits are ruined by mysterious globs of green gloop, things get even worse. It seems that Harry the Hairy Green Giant has caught a cold and the King orders Prince Marvin to sort him out. If Prince Marvin can cure the giant and prove himself, his sister won't be able to bully him any more. But first he needs a little help from Crackle the court magician...This is the second laugh-a-minute historical adventure in The Crunchbone Castle Chronicles.
Gusty Ox is not your typical princess. She's more interested in wrestling crocodiles and hunting dragons than in tiaras and princes. That is, until she looks into Crackel's magic mirror and decides things have got to change. But it isn't easy being a proper princess and things only get worse when her rival, Princess Lulu the Luscious, comes to stay. This is the third riotous romp in The Crunchbone Castle Chronicles.
