The Boy Who Didn't Want to Save the World
If a great wizard told you that the human race depended on you, would you: (a) Grab some spare socks and set out to save mankind? (b) Think for a second, then grab some spare socks and set out to save mankind? (c) Stay at home to look after your grandfather's pigs?
Blart chooses (c) but, actually, he doesn't have much choice in the matter. It is up to him to stop evil Zoltab escaping the prison where he has been trapped, deep beneath the ground, for hundreds of years, or else mankind will be doomed. And so begins the most hilarious, exciting and utterly brilliant adventure - a quest unlike any quest that's been before...

This series should be read in order.
This series is a parody of the fantasy-epic-quest book genre, such as Lord of the Rings. Its hero, is in fact a boy anti-hero, Blart, who rather than rising to the challenges of the quest with admirable courage and stoicism, tries to avoid risk and responsibility. Consequently, his quest is not only exciting and unpredictable, but most hilarious.
