Bookroo's summary

Wiglaf and friends visit Erica's castle, only to find King Ken struck by liver pox. Wizard Zelnoc's cure backfires, leaving the king speaking only Pig Latin. As chaos ensues, can Zelnoc reverse his spell, or will the kingdom adapt to its new linguistic twist? With a Pig Latin-speaking pig in tow, the adventure promises unexpected turns and magical mishaps. Will the wizard's blunder be resolved, or is this the new normal for King Ken?

From the publisher

When Mordred announces a three-day weekend for DSA, Wiglaf and his friends (including his Pig Latin-speaking pig, Daisy) are off to Erica’s castle. But when they arrive, they discover that Erica’s father, King Ken, has come down with a horrible case of liver pox. The wizard Zelnoc manages to cure the king’s pox, but as with all the wizard’s spells, there’s a magical mishap. Now, King Ken can only speak in Pig Latin! Can Zelnoc fix his mistake, or is there a better chance that pigs will fly?
