Proof of author’s visit to dream world of Foo?
Readers of the popular Leven Thumps series, wanting the inside scoop on Leven’s cute and furry sidekick, can now read Clover’s insights and reaction to Sycophant training in Professor Winsnicker’s Book of Proper Etiquette for Well-Mannered Sycophants. Clover’s challenges relate to our own as readers learn about:
Grooming and robe maintenance
Staying invisible and out of the way
Metal and shiny objects: What not to touch
Keeping secrets and falling in love
Though at times pompous and conceited, Professor Winsnicker offers never-before-revealed secrets about the land of Foo, the place that nurtures hope, imagination, and dreams. Responding to his teacher’s counsel, Clover’s thoughtful and humorous prose will have readers laughing out loud as they learn interesting factoids such as why Leven has a silver streak in his dark hair.
