Content

Alarm in Walle Wacke Land: the Schronk is feeling homesick! What a pity he can’t remember where he’s from. Billy Backe and his friends immediately embark on a search. They meet the Nightshade Swan in the Dark Forest (shady!), visit Guru Cucumber on the Mountain of the Angel Parrots (whose advice is truly coocoo) and encounter a colony of pink pinkuins (who don’t even want to be pink). Will they find the Schronk’s family amidst all these gloriously wild adventures?
