Alex was the world's greatest expert on bullies. He had studied them, he had met them, he had taken what they had to give. He wished they didn't exist, but he had learned to accept that they were part of life. You could very often avoid them, but they would always be around. Then one night, exhausted by recent scrapes and half-made plans of fighting back, Alex had a dream. At least, that's what he thought it was.

One day three scruffy children from an orphanage in an English village have a surprise. Rachel, Robert and Alice fall UP a tree into another world! Why have they been brought into the land that scheming Queen Jess calls her own? The Queen and the children would both like to know, and as they try to find out, they stumble into hilarious and hair-raising adventures. Here we meet Lord Lrans, mad about fox-hunting; the Reverend Elias, beloved but misunderstood vicar; Ballbody, a round, bouncy fellow. . . and the Muselings - kind, furry creatures whose world the children have fallen into. And there is Queen Jess's husband Ahab, transformed into a flying bird-like and rat-like creature, blood-red and sharp-clawed, as high as a large shed and as long as two cars. Then Reverend Elias faces Queen Jess on a hilltop, and everything changes.
