Alfie Green and the Supersonic Subway

When the Emerald Cactus in the Desert of Doom explodes, Budsville is covered in sparkling green sand. Soon the evil Desert Elves will arrive on their Scorpion Chariots. How can Alfie stop them? A very special lawnmower hidden in a secret tunnel under Granddad's shed might do the trick.
