A Preposterous Adventure with Fantastic Foibles (Tales of Dert, #1)

A heartwarming adventure in the magical world of Dert where ridiculousness rules and everything is possible. When a zany faerie embarks on a journey of self-discovery, she triggers an incredible cascade of events that leave none in her path untouched. Join Plip for an uplifting tale where thrilling fights blend seamlessly with delectable edibles in an absolutely preposterous adventure. Foibles are a person‘s strange habits and characteristics that are thought of as unimportant flaws. But what if our foibles are the brilliant things that make us who we are? Plip is not your average faerie. Full of outlandish habits, she surprises even herself when she spontaneously sets off on a grand adventure at her best friend‘s birthday party to avoid revealing her heart to him. Plunging into a crazy expedition, Plip follows her heart, her brain, and even her eyebrows in an astounding journey that leads her to a handsome stranger and distant kingdom. Todard, who thought he would be celebrating his fifteenth birthday with Plip, must instead put on a brave face as he realizes that his best friend needs her adventure in order to find herself. Inspired by Plip, and to staunch the pain in his heart at her departure, Todard sets off on an adventure of his own where he encounters giants, unravels mysteries, and perhaps even stumbles upon a dragon. Or could it be a cat? Jump into a glorious romp with a colourful cast of characters to discover whether Plip and Todard will find their way back together and to find out just how fantastic foibles can be.
