Description

Rules are for FOOLS, baby!

Betty and her Wobbly Rock pals are off to celebrate the famous Turnip Festival in the kingdom of Upper Crust. Betty is still as tiddly as a piece of toast. What could possibly go wrong THIS time

For readers of Youre A Bad Man, Mr Gum and Grimwood!
The VIPs of Wobbly Rock cant wait to attend Queen McNiffs legendary Turnip Festival in the neighbouring kingdom of Upper Crust. But when Betty meets a fashionable forest sprite called Misty Jamjar, it dawns on her that perhaps her old pals arent as sophisticated as she once thought.

Misty convinces Betty that being small aint all its cracked up to be. If Betty can help Misty break into the Queens heavily guarded vault, they might just be able to gain access to the Orb of Ogg. This legendary Orb has the potential to change Betty back to her original, stunning height. GOLLY GHERKINS! Its not as if Misty Jamjar is a secret baddy or anything. And Betty isnt going to accidentally become as tall as a massive giant. That would be ridiculous.
