The Whooperdink is a rare fantastical bird with hidden magic powers, seen only by the Urgles who reverently feed it on strawberry jam. So when Professor Potterton is informed by a fellow scientist of a sighting in Urgleland he eagerly sets off with his daughter Crystal. Along the way they encounter Salmonella, a wicked witch in disguise, her son Seth, cursed into idiocy twenty years earlier by a spell, and the Snowfl ake Maker, doomed to travel about creating snow and all the while dreaming of sun-kissed beaches.2 women, 3 men
