In this off-beat tale of adventure, Irie and Fred, both sixteen, are fast friends. She, of Afro-Caribbean heritage, was born in Sheffield where they both live. He is an expat American transplanted from Yuma, Arizona. To show his loyalty to his birthplace, he wears a Yuma High School Criminals T-shirt. She is a wee bit bossy and he a history boffin who likes to talk (maybe too much) about Sheffield's Anglo-Saxon era. Although they are only dimly aware of it, they are on the cusp of a boy-girl relationship. While trapped in an underground passageway, they come across the kitchen of a foodie hipster named Hobgoblin who is what his name suggests. Hobgoblin uses a modern induction hob, of course, and only the best ingredients. The irritable little chef sets them the task of finding the Fairy Queen's red-garnet, golden cup, but he is cagey about his reasons.
