The Trouble with Bricks Kindle Edition


The siblings have their lives turned inside out when an overweight fairy appears and shoots them to a different world: a world of underwear trees, rivers of lard, and into the pages of The Trouble with Bricks. Once there, they are befriended by a leprechaun hunter named Frank, a sasquatch named Melvin, and Frank's Colon, an organ with arms, legs and a serious attitude problem.
Suzie and Cleotus learn that the only chance to return to their world is to seek the wisdom of the mysterious and enchanted Mr. Wilson, CPA. The wizardly accountant points the way to a path that is fraught with danger and annoying trials. But behind each obstacle lies the malevolent presence of Bricks, evil jazz player and deranged lunatic. As they progress through this unwholesome and repulsive world, braving the Blue Toupee Forest, triumphing past the Three Trials, eating the famed tacos of Hooja’s Magical Oasis, they get closer and closer to their goal and further from any sense of normalcy.
This parody of fantasy novels is loaded with humor, odd characters and unusual situations that is a mix of Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and Monty Python.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Derek hails from the farm-rich land of Missouri and claims to write apologetic literature and humorous parodies, although the parodies have yet to be acknowledged as humorous or even slightly like able. He has a wife named Wendu who has put up with him for at least a quarter of a century and five children aged 4-19. Derek has had numerous jobs, including working with taxes, customer service and he once worked for a homeless shelter. He also is very involved in his church (Go God!) and forces his children to make movies. To see them on YouTube, do a search for 1mymb. He is a prominent author that works on the website Bardandbook.com. And once had his own website but lost it.
