Nine-year-old King Edwin (King Flashypants and the Evil Emperor) may be inexperienced, but what he lacks in ruling skills he makes up for in heart. When Emperor Nurbison plots to take out Edwinland with a monster called the Voolith, Edwin must rely on his gang of misfit sidekicks and his own courage. This over-the-top tale nevertheless has lots of kid-appeal. Cartoonlike illustrations underscore the wackiness.
