description: On Planet Blipp, beyond the stars,beyond the sun and moon,The world was ruled by music --but tradition called the tune.The Ancient Songs of ages past were all that could be heard,And no one was allowed to change a single note or word ...So begins the cosmic tale of Sprocc, a young Splingtwanger-player who leaves his home planet, Blipp, in search of musical freedom. Sprocc enters the annual Worst Band in the Universe Competition -- and is launched skyward on an adventure of truly intergalactic proportions.Graeme Base, creator of the best-selling picture books Animalia, The Eleventh Hour, The Sign of the Seahorse, and The Discovery of Dragons, has now created an out-of-this-world fantasy complete with his own music, which he has performed on the enclosed music CD.
