Despite her mom's admonitions, Falisha has once again flushed her brother Jesse down the toilet. It looks like a win-win situation, since Falisha is rid of her annoying brother, and Jesse actually loves roaming around in the smelly Kingdom of Yuck. But of course, her parents want him back, so Falisha grudgingly goes to get him. This time, however, there's trouble in the Kingdom, where Jesse has been captured by an evil king. The situation looks quite hopeless until Falisha teams up with a most unlikely ally.This is a marvelous follow-up to author Jeff Rivera's first book about the adventures of Falisha and Jesse in the Kingdom of Yuck, with the same breezy writing style that made the first story so entertaining, and the colorful illustrations by artist Danko Herrera. As with the first story, there's just enough tension and suspense to keep youngsters engaged, with nothing that would be too frightening for them.
