- Description
- Author Bio
Magic and mayhem collide in this monstrously funny middle-grade sequel to Chris Rylander’s The Legend of Greg. Now in paperback.
Greg Belmont longs for the days when he thought he was an ordinary thirteen-year-old, before he learned he’s really a fantastical Dwarf in a world where the return of magic has reignited an ancient feud between the Dwarves and the Elves. But now that magic is spreading rapidly, calling forth mythical monsters that are wreaking total havoc on earth, he knows things will never go back to normal.
To make matters worse, rumors are growing that the Elves are planning a sinister attack—and their new leader might be none other than Greg’s former best friend, Edwin. Before they can say “Galdervatn,” Greg and his Dwarven friends find themselves up against perilous dangers that their training has barely prepared them for. Can Greg and his bloodthirsty talking ax keep them out of harm’s way long enough to prevent all-out war? Or will epic failure find him yet again in this hilarious, action-packed sequel to The Legend of Greg?

COMBINES EPIC AND EPICALLY FUNNY: Hailed by Kirkus as a “potent blend of magic, adventure, and humor,” Chris nails that elusive balance of high-stakes, heroic storytelling and straight-up comedy that’s resonating so well with middle-grade readers (see: The Last Kids on Earth).
GATEWAY TO TOLKIEN AND BEYOND: Greg’s adventure takes classic fantasy lore (dwarves, elves, ancient prophecies, sentient weaponry) and pairs it with a modern setting and a thoroughly relatable protagonist, making it the perfect stepping stone for middle-grade readers not yet ready to take on Tolkien.
AUTHOR WITH MIDDLE GRADE CHOPS: Chris Rylander is the author of the critically acclaimed Fourth Stall series, a middle-grade sendup of The Godfather, which won SCBWI’s Sid Fleishman Humor Award. Chris has that elusive talent for simultaneously satirizing and paying homage to classic genres—all while making them fresh and appealing to middle-grade readers.
MOVIE MOVEMENT: This project was developed in collaboration with Temple Hill Productions (the team behind the Love, Simon, The Fault in Our Stars, Twilight, and The Maze Runner movies) with an eye toward book-to-film development.
