    About this ebook



    Take a journey to a strange new
    land: a magical place where everything is made of candy.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Marvel at gingerbread castles, cotton candy
    forests and the towering Mount Honeycomb.



    Follow Jay, a runaway orphan, as
    he goes on a quest to save King Otto, the Gingerbread King, from the clutches
    of Queen Beatrice and her Army of Stingers.
    Meet men made of gingerbread, an army of ants, Sugarplum Fairies, giant
    bees, and other fascinating creatures.
    Some will befriend the newcomer while others will try to stop him from
    completing his mission.



    This is a story that has the
    magic and adventure of The Wizard of Oz, the imagination and colors of
    Willie Wonka, and the rollercoaster action of an Indiana Jones movie.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Not only will this story appeal to children,
    but also to those who are young at heart.



    Welcome to The Gingerbread
    Kingdom!
