'There’s a word missing.’ Terry pointed to the book. ‘The maid plucked the . . . ready for the spit.’ He flipped back a page. ‘It said she was sitting beside a black hen, right?’
It was true. The words ‘black hen’ were gone. All that remained was a larger-than-usual space. A gap. An emptiness. A hole.
A hole . . . in the plot.
Basil Beedon and Terry Clegg are once again reading from The Complete Fairytales of the Brothers Grimm, but this time nothing comes shooting out of the pages. Instead, words— well, chickens—are disappearing!
Realising their friends are in grave danger of being sucked into oblivion by the plot holes, the boys don’t hesitate before diving right back into the fairytale world to warn them.
But what they discover there is not what they expected and it’s up to the boys to find out what is going on with the chickens, what’s up with this new secret Yunion, SAD EGGS, and how to stop all the plot holes from destroying everything—including their way home.
