Your name is Fidge and you’re nearly eleven. You’ve been hurled into a strange world. 
 
You have three companions: two are unbelievably weird and the third is your awful cousin, Graham. You must solve a series of nearly impossible clues. 
 
You need to deal with a cruel stuffed animal dictator and three thousand Wimbley Woos (yes, you read that sentence correctly). And the whole situation—the whole, entire thing—is your fault.
