Book DescriptionReview “Vomiting frost giants, dragons with literal dragon breath (phew!), and a toilet in the sky. I loved every stinky page and your kid will too!” —Melissa de la Cruz, bestselling author of the Descendants series “It’s not easy being bad. But this book will give you a head start.” —Pseudonymous Bosch, bestselling author of the Secret series“Hilarious! Confessions of a Dork Lord is not to be missed!

Non-fantasy fans will be converted.” —Eoin Colfer, bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series“Wick is who Harry Potter would be if Harry Potter were a real kid, and that’s the appeal.” —NPR“Crowd-pleasing.” —Booklist“Entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly“Johnston offers up plenty of wordplay, bathroom humor, spells, and silliness.” —BCCB Read more About the Author As a child and a teen, Michael Johnston was an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy. And when he wasn’t reading, he was busy playing Dungeons and Dragons, which is basically still a lot of reading. He was the original Dork Lord, but was not yet ready to embrace that fate. Instead, he studied architecture and ancient history and worked as an architect in New York City and Los Angeles, but he never gave up on his dream of writing a book about a young Dark Lord. Confessions of a Dork Lord is his first novel for children. He lives with his wife and daughter in Los Angeles.Marta Altés is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including the picture books My Grandpa, Little Monkey, and Five More Minutes.
