(Delacorte Press, March 15, 1804)
Thrump-O-moto explores a world we can find only in dreams-a world where fantastic folds in time and space, the fragile stuff of hope, high aspiration, enchantment, danger, and courage are the real-the here and now. This is Thump-O-motto's world: the everyday world of a little wizard and apprentice Hero who, though sometimes puzzled and afraid, always knows that the mightiest forces in the Universe bow before the Brave and Good. By chance (and a bungled spell) he sets out on his Noble Quest to rescue Patricia, a child in the evil clutches of Nurk-u the Bad. His is a realm of wonder, laughter, delight, and ever-lurking danger, a place where magic spells are a very serious matter indeed.
