F THO
So, I read this book at our spring book fair, even before the fair was over! It has an interesting cover and it just sounded
so unusual. Who wouldn't want to find out more about a powerful, evil
dark lord trapped in a human boy's body and forced to attend school?The story begins with Dark Lord crashing out of the sky into a parking lot and being mistaken for a regular kid who is given the name "Dirk Lloyd" because that is what the police and doctors think he is saying when he is mumbling "Dark Lord." "Dirk" is sent to live with a foster family and forced to attend school. The adults think he has suffered some kind of trauma because he keeps insisting he is an evil power in another dimension.
Dirk tells all of his classmates about his powers, which no one believes, mostly because none of his powers seem to work in this world. Mostly his classmates find him to be entertaining while he is attempting to find his way home. Dirk is funny and maybe a little bit disturbing. Dirk is also getting a little stressed because he cannot figure out why is super powerful ring didn't take him back through the portal he made to go home, AND his new friend Sooz got into some serious trouble for something he started!
Dark Lord is a funny book with some weird fantasy in it. I recommend it to kids who like fantasy, but want something a little lighter, or kids who like humorous books featuring evil villains.
