The Far Out Five

The Far Out Five: Adventures in the Land of Obbal Nobbal is a classic archetypal fairy tale, yet with new progressive values in a fantasy, sci-fi setting. It is a story about five gifted youngsters from different corners of the universe who are involuntarily beamed to the Land of Obbal Nobbal by a wizard who works for a corrupt King. The lead protagonist/hero is a female alchemist and clairvoyant named Opal who eventually falls in love with a fellow Far Out Five member-a Poet named Word. Using only their creative, nonviolent talents, the Far Out Five face such outlandish adversaries as the Schnarf Moles on the Plains of Foolbania, who render their foes impotent with snarky remarks. The big twist arrives when Opal defies the greedy King to do the right thing and be true to herself. Illustrated with great images - it is sure to become a classic!
