The Boy Who Was Wanted Dead or Alive - Or Both
Blart is wanted, dead or alive. It's nice to be wanted, although not if you're going to be skewered horribly by the Duke's army as a result. But it isn't just Blart's life that's at stake. The greatest sorcerer alive has made a very big and rather embarrassing mistake, and now Blart must embark on a perilous mission to save his own life, his friends' lives, and potentially the world (again).
And so begins another hilarious, unforgettable and utterly fantastic adventure (with pigs).

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.
