The Amulet of Kings
by Will Macmillan JonesPublish: Nov 01, 2011Book Overview
Take one Dark Lord, one off-white witch, two teenagers, one dwarf blues band and a jazz- loving Bog troll. Mix. Wait for the explosion of laughter...
What could be worse? Having to take a holiday in the (rainy) Lake District in the Northwest of England, with an aunt who turns people into frogs for a hobby? Or battling the local Dark Lord, whose attempt at world domination starts with the nearby underground Dwarf Mansion, and its enormous collection of used pizza boxes? Or getting involved with a jazz-loving bog troll and his dwarven Rhythm and Blues band? Or is it being miles from a McDonalds? The teenagers find out as they fall into a Mad, Mad World, so close to our own that you can't tell the difference.
