Description:
For fans of Fablehaven and Septimus Heap comes an all-new dungeon romp and unlikely female friendship--from the debut fantasy-adventure series by Zac Gorman, contributor to the hilarious Rick and Morty comic series.
In the absurd land of Nth, Thisby Thestoop can be found within the walls of Castle Grimstone, down the precarious steps of the Black Mountain dungeon, and up to her nose in griffon toenails, gnoll spittle, and troll meat (to give to them, not made of them).
But when the prince and princess arrive for a Royal Inspection, a freak accident involving Thisby's boss and a slumbering tarasque results in Princess Iphigenia and Thisby getting separated from the group and lost in the tunnels of the dungeon. With all the easy paths home blocked and seemingly no way out, it's up to Thisby to guide the princess safely past the hordes of minotaurs, wyverns, ghouls, and who-knows-what-else that would love nothing more than to nosh the royal highness for dinner.
Full of fantastical creatures, illustrations throughout, and girl power, don't miss the first book in this rollicking new fantasy-adventure series from debut author Zac Gorman

Review Quotes:
"Comic book writer Gorman makes a strong children's book debut...Clever Thisby and forceful Iphigenia make a delightfully odd pairing as they form an unlikely friendship amid the chaos and danger."
