Charlie, Tom, and Sam, the three young heroes of this story, journey to the land of Deep, Deep Darkness. For thousands of years past, these Darklands were ruled by the powerful and gigantic Winosaurs, with their celebrated passion for the juice of the orange.

Many miles from Pixie Land, across the Flurassic Ocean in Flurassic Park, the Winosaurs’ sweet, friendly (and shrunken) descendants are now the main public attraction. The boys arrive at just the right time as the Winosaurs’ evil leader, Emperor Kluzenkopf, begins to stir up the Winosaurs to revolution and war.

Using his magic to inflame their unquenchable orange passion, the Winosaurs return to the colossal size of their giant ancestors. No longer sweet and friendly, now grumpy and dissatisfied, the Winosaurs plot to snatch back power and rule the Darklands world once more. While the boys are commissioned to ensure the protection of all pixie citizens, Elfson, supreme prince of Elfland, comes to the rescue.

But will even his incomparable power be any match for the evil intentions of Kluzenkopf and the Winosaurs? Who will win the war to end all wars? 

Michael Lawson’s Grandpa Goes to Pixie Land is an exciting, charming, and inspiring “pretend story”. Its comic elements and and deeper themes make it as enjoyable for adults as for boys and girls of six years and above.
