Winner of the 2012 Roald Dahl Funny Prize! Thirteen-year-old
schoolboy, Dirk Lloyd, has a dark secret - in fact he is a dark
secret. Dirk - according to his own account - is the earthly
incarnation of a Dark Lord, supreme ruler of the Darklands and
leader of great armies of orcs and warriors, intent on destruction
and bloody devastation. Following a colossal final battle between
the forces of good and evil, the Dark Lord was defeated and hurled
by his arch-foe's spells into the Pit of Uttermost Despair. At the
bottom of the Pit lies...a supermarket car park in the municipal
town of Whiteshields, somewhere in modern day England. And when he
is found, and tries to explain that he is the Dark Lord, people
think he means Dirk Lloyd. The fact that he's trapped in the puny
body of a schoolboy doesn't help. And so begins Dirk's battle to
recover his dignity, his power, and his lands... Along the way he
faces the inconvenience of being fostered by a do-gooding family,
the Purejoies; the torture of endless hours of drudgery at the
Whiteshields Brainwashing Centre (aka school); a vengeful
Headmaster; two interfering Psychotic Persecutors
(psychotherapists); and constant laughter and disrespect when he
attempts to marshall his lackeys and lickspittles (friends) to do
what he wants them to. Dirk makes friends with the son of his
foster family, Christopher, and the local Goth Girl, Sooz, and
together they attempt to cast a spell that will transport Dirk back
to his homeland. Inevitably, not everything goes to plan... But
that's for book 2 Roald Dahl Prize winner, 2012.
