Prince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff by Robert Paul Weston

Prince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff by Robert Paul Weston

The next middle-grade rhyming novel from the award-winning author of Zorgamazoo

Prince Puggly of the muddy, terminally unfashionable Kingdom of Spud is surprised when he receives an invitation to a lavish ball in the far more chic Kingdom of Spiff. Puggly is sure that the Spiffs will take one look at him and laugh him out of their kingdom. And that's exactly what they do. . . . But then Puggly meets Francesca, the bookish Princess of Spiff, and together the two set out to teach Francesca's Spiffian countrymen an absurd lesson in style. Award-winning author Robert Paul Weston once again delivers a humorous fantasy in rhyming verse that just begs to be read aloud. And this time, it comes with a message that's sure to impress: There's more to a person than how they are dressed.

Robert Paul Weston lives inLondon, England, in a crumbling old building, hidden behind shiny glass towers. He isn't sure if this is where the idea for DENKi-3000 Headquarters came from, but it's certainly possible. In 2008, he published his first novel-in-verse, Zorgamazoo, recipient of the California Young Reader s Medal, the Silver Birch Award, the Children s Choice Award, and an E.B. White Read Aloud Honor. His second novel was the hardboiled fairy tale, DustCity, which was nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Young Adult Mystery. In February 2013, he publishedPrince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff. Although he writes all of his books with a mechanical pencil, it's not electric and doesn't come with a telescopic lens.
