The Jazzypickleton Cucumbers' inarticulate golem struggles to express his dislike for his new nickname in this third series entry.Being a sensitive soul, for all his massive, rocky, pink-and-gray body, Sonny the Golem doesn't care for being called "Launchpad"-not to mention having wizard Zeke jumping off his head to fall on hapless rival teams. But he's reluctant to voice a complaint since the team is doing so well. But that willingness to "go along to get along" comes home to roost when an enemy cannonball cracks Sonny into diminutive twin Golemites, one peaceable and the other vengefully set on dealing Zeke a memorable beat down (as Zeke insensitively puts it, "Ha ha! Well, what do you know?! Two Launchpads are better than one!"). Cue the quest, which takes the Cucumbers from the lair of Granny Pocus to the electrified village of Zappermore in search of a spell that will reknit his split personality-and even perhaps give Sonny a way to express his feelings clearly but nonviolently. The art features the usual cast of racially diverse character types and heavy doses of cartoon violence; the backmatter includes both art samples and tips for gamers from two Most Valuable Players of Clash of the Clans and Clash Royale.A third round of prodigious pounding and personal problem-solving. (map) (Graphic fantasy. 10-15)
