Publisher's Summary

Marooned in another universe, a young American musician leads a motley army in battle against an enemy that threatens to destroy their world and ours.

Jon-Tom just wanted to go home. Trapped in a world where animals speak and magic is real, the American college student yearned for an ordinary dorm-room life. But here his music has magical power — even if he can’t control it — which may be able to save the world from the army of the Plated Folk, whose sinister queen plans on killing and eating every warm-blooded mammal she can get her pincers on and taking over their lands.

The great battle is coming, and Jon-Tom, whose posse includes a wizarding turtle, a cowardly bat, and an otter with a filthy mind, must raise an army to fight it. To find allies they must make an impossible journey, across mountains and rivers no one has ever passed before. Survival will be a miracle — but Jon-Tom is no ordinary musician.

Wheres the planet caravan?

The spellsinger series was the series i re read the most as a teenager in the 90s. This is an excellent telling of the story though i do remember pog speaking with more of a carribean drawl than irish- could be wrong though. Im fairly certain that parts had been cut from the book, and songs werent named. I get why they didnt name them and play them- licensing would hurt profits plus younger people today wouldnt even know the songs that Jon tom played- but those songs were what added a great deal of humour to the books and its sadly missed. But its non the less excellent.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
