Description

Edwin isn't any ordinary boy. He is a king with a crown, his own suit of armor, a castle with secret passages and water slides—oh, and the most horribly evil man in the universe living next door.
Emperor Nurbison is permanently up to no good. He wants Edwin's kingdom for himself, so when the Edwinland piggy bank runs out of money, he seizes his opportunity.
None of this could possibly lead to a thrilling adventure with action, chocolate, and snappy crocodiles—could it?

        April 15, 2017
        Evil Emperor Nurbison has his eye on the peaceful, neighboring kingdom of Edwinland.Nine-year-old King Edwin of Edwinland has been put in charge of his pocket money (otherwise known as the royal treasury) by the overworked Minster Jill, who hoped it would teach Edwin responsibility. Every Friday, Edwin has taken his wheelbarrow full of gold pocket money and bought all the chocolates in all the candy shops and distributed them to his peasants using King Edwin's Nutritious Nibbles Ejector, Thrower, and Hurler, depicted in Seussian fashion with cogs, horns, dials, and cranks aplenty. When the money runs out (really: the enormous piggy bank is totally empty), Emperor Nurbison uses the peasants' discontent at the cessation of free chocolates and a cunningly disguised cow to take over Edwinland. Can King Edwin, Minister Jill, and Jester Megan come up with a plan to regain Edwin's throne? Maybe, with a few cunning disguises and a lot of lemonade....British movie and TV scribe Riley's heavily illustrated, foolish tale of courtly high jinks will please fans of Dragonslayer Academy as well as Big Nate readers looking for something hysterical--er--historical. Stakes are never high; Nurbison is more foolish than fearsome. And Edwin's sweetly cheeky charm will lead those comfortable with chapters to request the obviously planned sequel. Minister Jill is a bespectacled black woman, while the other principals seem to be white. An agreeably fizzy series opener. (Fantasy. 7-10)

        Gr 2-4-Young King Edwin has it all-castle, fancy crown, trusted adviser, and money to buy all the chocolate he wants. He is a generous monarch and kindly shares his yummy treats with all his adoring subjects. All is well until his riches run out. This means no more goodies for Edwin or his people. The country folk are not amused. Enter Emperor Nurbison, who has designs on this junior ruler's territory; he plans to turn everyone against Edwin and then dispose of the bothersome lad. Edwin is tempted to run, but his loyalty to his domain is strong. He knows that he will have to be clever and brave if he is to outsmart his mean rival and hang on to his kingdom. VERDICT With super funny illustrations, the silly yet thrilling story line is sure to tickle the ribs of younger elementary readers.-Mary Jennings, Camano Island Library, WA

        Nine-year-old King Edwin is a good king who tosses chocolate to his subjects on Fridays. When he fails to do so one Friday, the peasants revolt and evil Emperor Nurbison takes over the kingdom. Filled with jokes (some much better than others), itchy butts, and clueless adults, this book will appeal to many young readers. Halftone illustrations add a splash of whimsy.
