A review by froggylibrarian1
The Early Years by Jamie Thomson

4.0

The Dark Lord has fallen to earth and has been cursed to live in the body of a 12 year old boy. Can the Dark Lord or Dirk Lloyd survive among the humans and figure out a way to get home to the Dark Lands? Or is any of this real? Is it just his mind playing tricks on him.

The Dark Lord was a fun read. Dirk or the Dark Lord was funny and deliciously evil. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

This book is on the Maine Student Book Award nominee list for 2013-2014. I think the boys will really enjoy it.
