Written by Mark Huckerby and Nick Ostler
Wonderful adventure about a boy who doesn’t want to become the King, but when his father is killed by a mysterious monster, he has no choice. This book is about how he tries to live up to what he thinks he should do and learns how to rule and defend his kingdom in his own way.
