Toots Upside Down Again

The sequel to Toots and the Upside Down House in which heroine Toots used her ingenuity to save her house from the evils of Jack Frost, this new title has Toots enlisted by Olive the Garden Fairy and her Group Captain to save the garden from the dreaded furzeweed sent by the dreaded Waspgnat to strangle the entire Upside Down garden, in which the Garden Fairy Squadron live. The Upside Down world is a separate world inhabited by fairies and other strange creatures, into which Toots returns by turning herself upside down on a garden swing. There are shades of Terry Pratchett and Tolkien in this exciting fantasy which will entertain fluent upper junior readers or lower junior listeners. Amongst the entertaining and thrilling adventures is an amusing confrontation with two haughty maggots (who pronounce their name 'Maggo'). Underlying this inventive story is the notion that the evil that has invaded the garden was brought about by wicked human thoughts.
