Joey Rheelat was tired of dealing with his own clumsiness and his stepfather's constant teasing and put downs. Then, one evening when he heard strange noises coming from his bed, he could not have imagined that he was about to meet Wheedles, the 18th King of the Zing Fling right there in his bedroom. Just as he was coming to terms with this wild little man, Wheedles pulls him into a Zing Fling that took him from his bedroom into a chaotic, explosion of colors and sensations into the realm of Waiderfled. He hit the ground hard and looked around to see that every single element of the place was so different from home in Kraspers Lake, IL. The rules were different, and it was embarrassingly easy to offend an entire town with just a single word.
