Johnny Boo dons a crown, declaring himself king, but Squiggle wants a turn too. Their playful rivalry leads them to share a flying castle and embark on a moonlit journey. Along the way, they encounter the mischievous Ice Cream Monster. As their adventure unfolds, the line between reality and imagination blurs. Will they reach the moon, or is it all a dream? This delightful tale promises laughter and a perfect bedtime wind-down.

From the publisher

The beloved young-reader series by Eisner Award winner James Kochalka returns with a new adventure fit for a king! Johnny Boo is wearing a crown on his head, so that means he’s the king! Squiggle wants to be king too, so he puts a rock on his head. After a brief argument, they decide to share their new flying castle, and fly to the moon. Or are they just pretending? After a madcap encounter with the Ice Cream Monster, they finally get too sleepy to stay awake… making this silly story excellent for bedtime.
