Confessions of a Dork Lord

Despicable Me meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid in this hilarious illustrated middle grade adventure that follows a hapless warlock-in-training as he struggles to live up to his great and terrible destiny. After the disappearance of the leader of the Grim World, the next in line to wield his Scepter of Ultimate Darkness was his only son, Azrael Bal Gorath the Wicked, Keeper of the Fountains of Flame, Breaker of Worlds, Son of the Dark Lord and Heir to the Throne of Black and Broken Glass. But his friends--all two of them--just call him Wick. Wick can't wait to fulfill his great and terrible destiny, but it's not easy to inspire hordes of Grim Folk to follow you into battle when you're known as the "dork lord" and you can barely cast the "Fart-Revealer" spell. It's also hard to be into the whole fire and brimstone thing when you're a warlock with allergies. But with the Faire Folk plotting war and his father's scepter suddenly missing, Wick knows it's now or never to prove himself as his people's next fearsome leader. Full of humor, hijinks, and lively illustrations, Confessions of a Dork Lord follows Wick through the pages of his journal as he comes up with a genius plan to defeat his foes, achieve greatness . . . and survive Middle Ages School.
