Prince Percival’s Pesky P.A.N.T.S

Who is a hero and what do they do? Strict daily routines, no friends allowed, home schooling, always being told what he can and cannot do, busy parents with very little time for him - this is Prince Percival's life, until a furry, purple creature named Fizwotz appears and magically transports Percival into his imaginary world, where the quest to save the jungle ring begins. But how do magical pockets, trees, and crocodile slippers (to name a few) play a part in Prince Percival having to face some of his fears, learn to live with himself, and be a hero? How does it all impact on his real world and how do P.A.N.T.S play a part in all of this? Prince Percival's Pesky P.A.N.T.S is fast-paced, voice-driven, with loveable, eccentric characters. It has twists, and villains, and explores friendships, group dynamics, and the complexities of growing up; including the constraints, frustrations and self-awareness that go with it - even at the age of seven! Prince Percival has to step out of his comfort zone, not wanting to show his fears in front of those he is with, which in turn makes him grow as a person. All of this is interwoven into the warm and witty writing, set within an epic journey to save the day against a dastardly, yet incompetent gang.
