The Zing Fling: An Adventure in the Crystal Forest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987270318)

Joey Rheelat was tired of dealing with his own clumsiness and his stepfather's constant teasing and put downs. Then, one evening when he heard strange noises coming from his waterbed, he could not have imagined that he was about to meet Wheedles, the 18th King of the Zing Fling, right there in his bedroom. Just as he was coming to terms with this wild little man, he was pulled into a Zing Fling that took him from his bedroom through a chaotic explosion of colors and sensations that carried him into the realm of Waiderfled. He hit the ground hard and looked around to see that every single element of the environment and humanity was shockingly different from life in Kraspers Lake, IL. It was a place where the rules were different, and it was embarrassingly easy to offend an entire town with just a single word.
