Set a hundred years in the future, London is a glum place where the royal family hides in Buckingham Palace, there is rampant poverty and pollution, and the Lord Protector has the King following his orders. When Prince Alfred’s mother (the Queen!) is thrown into the tower of London and accused of helping the Revolutionaries, Alfred springs into action to try to save his  mother. This is a silly book that would be a delightful read-aloud with lots of ZAPS! and BOOMS! and CLUNKS! and plenty of potty humor.
