In
the country of Carthya, a devious nobleman engages four orphans in a
brutal competition to be selected to impersonate the king's long-missing
son in an effort to avoid a civil war.
Young King Jaron has taken the throne of Carthya, but after enemies
attempt to assassinate him, and a neighboring kingdom threatens
invasion, he finds that he has no friends in the palace, not even his
bride-to-be, princess Amarinda--and his regents think it would be better
for Carthya if he just disappeared again.
When
eight-year-old Elliot Penster unwittingly saves a brownie from a group
of goblins on Halloween night, he becomes their reluctant king and
champion in a war against the evil goblins.
Elliot, King of the
Brownies, isn't usually a stubborn kid, but he didn't see a lot of room
to bargain on the issue of Goblins eating his subjects. Which is how he
wound up alone in the Underworld, with no map either home or ahead to
Demon Territory. Between trying to steal a hair for the Pixie Princess
and a sock for the Fairies from a demon, being King of the Brownies is
no easy job.
Elliot,
the King of the Brownies, might be able to survive some unusual
self-defense lessons and a king-napping plot, but withstanding the
friendship of his arch-nemesis, Cami Wortson, may be more than even he
can handle.
