The delightful adventures of an ordinary boy condemned to the dreaded dungeon ''From which no brat returns!''

Poor Jacob Two-Two. Not only must he say everything twice just to be heard over his four brothers and sisters, but when he inadvertently insults a grown up, he is exiled to Slimers' Isle - and soon finds himself the prisoner of the dreaded Hooded Fang. Although he's small, Jacob is not helpless, especially when The Infamous Two come to his aid.
