Icon is the rightful king of the Planet Duryllium. But instead of performing his royal role he's surfing the universe in search of the Ultimate Wave. That's how he meets Mikey, Claudia and Nico, the world's most unlikely band of superheroes. Soon it's time to resume his royal responsibilities and rid his home planet of his evil twin Vidor. But the friends have reckoned with out the Maze of Madness, a giant stone chicken and the fearsome Captain Crundor. Oh, I almost forgot. There's also the problem of a bunch of hungry bonecrunchers who haven't had lunch! A book for kids who are as at home on a laptop as in a library, or maybe more so!
'A dizzying confection of in-your-face narration, knowing wit, cartoon strip and the glamorous world of surfing - all set on the planet Ithaca. It's wild, it's wacky and it's great fun.' Shelflife, Scotland'This is a book full of action, adventure, romance and heaps of jokes, visual and verbal.'Viewpoint'The whole story is really stupid and really funny! I recommend everyone who needs a good laugh to read this! It's totally crazy!'Lollipops Magazine
Terry Denton has illustrated many popular and funny books, including the hilarious Just series by Andy Griffiths and Duck for Cover, Spooner or Later and Freeze a Crowd by Paul Jennings and Ted Greenwood. His own books include the madly inventive Storymaze and Gasp! series. In his Wombat and Fox books, Terry's idiosyncratic sense of humour shines through, this time directed to a younger audience.
