Bing is a princess and a magician with a self-centered and air
headed father. He is determined to make a name for himself as the King who..,
well he hasn’t figured it out yet. There is a strange tunnel and explosions at
nearby Mount Kazoo, so Bing and her father take off, with Torq, in the first
car invented, to find out what happened. They discover that the entire kingdom is
in danger. It will take magic, bravery and quick thinking to figure out how to
stop the impending disaster. Basic simple
comic illustrations.
This was a nice little adventure with a message about family and
not being self-centered. At times it felt very slow for no reason (a good
reason would be like a halt for character building) which I found irritating. The
artwork is just average. Overall I was kind of bored. It can’t hurt to have
this in your collection, but I would rather spend library budget on something
with a bit more interest or at least stellar artwork for a graphic novel.
