King Flashypants and the Evil Emperor: Book 1 [Paperback] Riley, Andy

Meet King Edwin (aka King Flashypants), the most reluctant ruler you'll ever encounter! When the dastardly Evil Emperor threatens his kingdom, this hapless hero must swap his comfortable castle life for an epic adventure filled with ridiculous villains, loyal friends, and pants-based humor that'll have kids giggling uncontrollably.

Andy Riley, the comedic genius behind "The Book of Bunny Suicides" and writer for "Black Books," brings his trademark wit to children's fiction. This laugh-out-loud fantasy perfectly blends adventure with absurdist humor, exploring themes of courage, friendship, and finding your inner hero (even when you'd rather stay in bed).

Perfect for reluctant readers aged 7-11 who love silly humor and action-packed stories. Fans of Captain Underpants and David Walliams will devour this preloved gem from Patina Paperbacks.
