Dark Lord, The Early Years

Reading Level: Grades 5-7

The Dark Lord, Master of the Legions of Dread, Sorcerer Supreme and Lord of the Darklands is confused.  One moment he was leading his legions against the White Wizard Hasdruban the Pure and the next he is falling out of his world into a strange land where he is trapped in the body of a puny human.  

The stunned Dark Lord can barely talk or move, he is whisked  away in a strange screaming conveyance to a steel citadel where he is questioned by humans who, mistaking his clear answer that his name is “Dark Lord," dub him Dirk Lloyd and send him to a foster home.

Christopher Purejoie is perfectly happy as an only child.  He certainly never asked for a foster brother….especially not a crazy one.  Chris does have to admit that Dirk is funny, like when Dirk marches into 7^th grade English and announces to Mrs. Batelakes, “I am the Great Lord Dirk, you may call me master!”

So who is Dirk Lloyd?  A delusional child who needs intensive psychiatric treatment? A smart-mouthed trouble maker who needs to be straightened out by Principal Grousammer?  A funny kid who disrupts classes every day? Or an exiled villian desperate to return to his powers?
