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.
Meet Wick. He's the son of the Dark Lord, heir to the throne of black and broken glass, and next in line to be the leader of the Grim World. Too bad he's stuck in Remedial Spell Casting (he can barely even cast the fart-revealer spell), he's allergic to fire and brimstone, and the bullies at school insist on calling him Dork Lord.
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.
JOURNAL FORMAT FOR WIMPY KID AUDIENCE: As kids tear through Wick's journal entries, they'll be taken captive by this endearingly villainous and relatable outsider, his hysterical voice, and the lively illustrations--it's the perfect next read for fans of Jeff Kinney, THE MISADVENTURES OF MAX CRUMBLY, and THE LAST KIDS ON EARTH.
SEND-UP OF FANTASY LORE WITH TONS OF HUMOR & ACTION: An avid fan of fantasy growing up, Mike knows his stuff--and he's not afraid to make fun of it! CONFESSIONS OF A DORK LORD mixes great adventure with tons of sidesplitting jokes that poke fun at the familiar worlds of fantasy all while honoring them, building a world that's totally immersive and original.
HILARIOUS B&W ILLUSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT: We instantly fell in love with the innate sense of humor and energy in Marta Altés's illustrations. Her staggering imagination brings Wick and his Grim World to life in all its dastardly and dangerous glory.
AWESOME AUTHOR: He's done adult and YA fantasy, and now Mike is thrilled to be making his middle-grade debut with CONFESSIONS OF A DORK LORD. He and his wife, Melissa de la Cruz, are passionate supporters of his books and Mike is eager to collaborate with us to break out Wick in a big way.
Marta Altés is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including the picture books My Grandpa, Little Monkey, and Five More Minutes. She received her MA in children's book illustration at the Cambridge School of Art, and she lives in London. Learn more at martaltes.com or follow her on Instagram @martaltes
