About the Book
After years of toast topping warfare, backstabbing birds, and one unfortunate Vegemite incident, the legendary Marmite enthusiast finds himself unexpectedly crowned ruler of the global Toast Topping Republic. But peace is short-lived. As old enemies rise from the ashes and alliances flake apart like stale croissants, Billybob must fend off skyborne squirrels, betrayals by rats and devils (both feathered and furry), and battle for the soul of breakfast itself. Will he hold onto power… or will the empire crumble beneath his quarry drill?
Packed with epic battles, ridiculous anagrams, Bovril-fueled flamethrower guards, and one very dramatic parrot, this absurdly brilliant sequel picks up right where Of Toast and Trebuchets left off—and catapults it into utter chaos.

About the Creator
The Creative Youth Collective: Meet the next generation of storytellers The Creative Youth Collective is a highly personalized, radically collaborative creative writing and photography mentorship experience. We guide young writers and photographers ages 10-18 through the entire creative process—from idea generation to publishing their own stories. Since our founding in 2022, we’ve published over 20 youth-authored books, with many more on the way. At the Creative Youth Collective, storytelling is an art and a catalyst for good. As our young authors earn royalties from their book sales, they direct donations to causes they care about, and we match their contributions, enabling them to witness the impact of both their creativity and generosity in the real world.
