Synopsis
The final instalment of the Last Dragonslayer Chronicles, demonstrating that with a small band of committed followers, a large tin of resolve and steely determination, almost anything can be achieved. Sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange and her sidekick and fellow orphan Tiger Prawns have been driven to the tip of the Ununited Kingdoms, Cornwall, by the invasion of the Trolls; their one defence is a six-foot-wide trench full of buttons, which the Trolls find unaccountably terrifying, for their clickiness. Worse than being eaten by Trolls is the prospect of the Mighty Shandar requisitioning the Quarkbeast to achieve supreme power, an ambition four hundred years in the planning that would leave the Earth a cold cinder. Assisted by a renegade vegan Troll, a bunch of misfit sorcerers, the Princess and Tiger, Jennifer must find a way to vanquish the most powerful wizard the world has ever seen, and along the way discover the truth about her parents, herself and what is in the locked glovebox of her VW Beetle.
