Book Synopsis
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 humour, 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.

Trade Review
“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! It is very rare to find a totally original book, stuffed with great characters, wrapped in a thrilling storyline. Fantasy fans will love it. 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
