***A shout comes echoing up the stairway. "Fetch the whipping boy!"***
**A young orphan named Jemmy rouses from his sleep.** "Ain't I already been whipped twice today? Gaw! What's the prince done now?" It was forbidden to spank, thrash, or whack the heir to the throne. **Jemmy had been plucked from the streets to serve as whipping boy to the arrogant and spiteful Prince Brat.**

Dreaming of running away, Jemmy finds himself trapped in Prince Brat's own dream at once brash and perilous.
***In this briskly told tale of high adventure, taut with suspense and rich with colorful characters, the whipping boy and Prince Brat must at last confront each other.***
Award-winning author Sid Fleischman again blends the broadly comic with the deeply compassionate in this memorable novel.
