Having one's baby brother abducted through a mud puddle by an ogre would be enough to complicate anyone's life; but, for an ordinary little girl like Millicent Annabelle Trafalgar Smith, it was quite overwhelming.

When Demetrius is kidnapped by the ogre Meedy, Mats finds herself in a strange place, a place she eventually discovers to be the Emajee Nation. Accompanied by her best friend, Ng, she must race to find her brother and the way home or be sentenced to remain as the ogre's pet. Along the way, she encounters not only the ogre and his henchmen, the Shades (Pink and Green), but also a fiendish teacher who feeds on the mistakes of her students, the Roads Scholar, a spider who weaves spells, and her two guides: Mr. Muridae, a four-foot tall country mouse, and Earl, a ragdoll with a teacup for a head.Through her journey, she comes to realize that no one-including herself-is truly ordinary.Meedy Ogre Tea is a middle-grades fantasy novel for readers of any age who enjoy quests and words and puns and whimsy.
