Planet Plenti is a most extraordinary place - a world of incredible edible delights; of confectionery minerals, a rich array of animals, delectable flora and fizzy pop springs And yet, for children in the land of Likrishka, life is less than ordinary, and mostly very grim - as the Likrish population lives under the watchful rule of Stannic, a Master Chef, a tin-skinned tyrant who commands an army of robot police. Thus nine-year-old Lydia faces a future slaving away in a Candi Land confection camp - but the girl was born with a mysterious power over metal (when she eats a special type of sweet) - a power which could hold the key to her freedom. If only she could get her hands on a tin of prohibited toffee One eventful day, Lydia meets a gang of other girls with strange sweetie powers: the deadly Bull's-Eye, razor-toothed Jawbreaker, fire-breathing Peppermint, super-fast Hazel Whirl - there's Marshmallow, Ice Lolly, Sugar Cube, Dolly Mixture, Cocoa and Marzipan and together, they must travel across the robot-controlled Candi-Lands, on a treasure hunt for magic sweets that will help to defeat the villainous Chef and return their world to its sweetest, once more. Orwell's 1984 meets Oz? Heracles and Ulysses meet Charlie & the Chocolate Factory? First published by Oxford University Press in 2009 as 'Lydia's Tin Lid Drum', this acclaimed fantasy adventure is now available in a slimmer paperback - in 44 short chapters, from 'Appetizer' to 'Afters'. A tasty fantasy for children of all ages, decorated with over a hundred illustrations - some of them new to this beautifully-presented edition.
