class: the bubble-blowing boy · the hero of Castle Garland
who: Milon, the small, brave boy who sets out alone to free his kingdom — armed with nothing but the bubbles he blows.
what: The hero of Milon's Secret Castle — who climbs the labyrinthine Castle Garland, popping its every secret loose, to rescue Queen Eliza from the warlord Maharito.
