School is back in session in the Kingdom of Color. Brandon didn’t read his history lesson, but when Miss Carter asks if anyone knows the cause of The Great Grayness, Brandon raises his hand because this is the story that his Grandpa Alvin had told him and his friends the preceding summer. Miss Carter lashes out at him for his version of the story. It turns out that the one in the history books, and the one that the teacher and the other students believe is the one the King had put forward while it was going on – namely that the goblins had stolen all the color. Miss Carter sends Brandon to the principle’s office.
Instead, Brandon sneaks out of school hoping to find proof of the real story that his grandfather had told him. But when he gets to Grandpa Alvin’s house, Grandpa isn’t home. However, Brandon finds a map of the kingdom with the Color Factory marked on it. Brandon decides to go to the Color Factory to see if he can find proof of the truth there.
When he arrives at the remains of the Color Factory, Brandon discovers a skeleton holding a book. Inside the book is a scribbled note from General Droww mentioning the boy named Alvin and the reign of terror of the Color Factory. This is proof that Brandon can take back to school. But what does the mention of Alvin’s grandfather as the ‘boy from the sea’ have to do with anything?
Brandon reads the book, whose title is The Great Sugar War. It tells of a time when General Droww was only a young colonel, and the Kingdom of Color was at war with the Kingdom of Shapes. The ship Colonel Droww was on was sunk by a ship from the Kingdom of Shapes, and a young boy named Otto from over the sea saved his life.
They return to the Kingdom of Color and are sent to the Grasshopper Fields. There they meet an old woman who calls herself Aunt Nellie and a lot of giant grasshoppers. They are later attacked by a lot of soldiers made of sugar, who are able to turn the people (including the grasshoppers) into sugar soldiers too.
Eventually, a giant sugar bubble pops up and explodes, turning the entirety of the Grasshopper Fields into a sugar desert. Otto and Colonel Droww are forced to recruit the giant lion who is the guardian of the Red Berry Forest and take the war to the Kingdom of Shapes. But what they learn there surprises them. It is not the King of the Kingdom of Shapes who is their main enemy.
