A blundersnorp—a creature halfway between a giant beetle and a wooly mammoth—has descended upon a peaceful kingdom, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. When royal cavaliers are deployed to challenge the creature, a stable boy finds himself swept up in the quest as well. Armed only with his unshakable convictions and a borrowed sword, young Gideon contends with numerous dangers and an ungrateful princess in this original fantasy story. Combining storytelling and music, Gideon and the Blundersnorp will be narrated by Linda Abrams and accompanied by an original orchestral score by composer Michael Shapiro.
