Description

Risk-averse Greg Belmont is content with being ordinary at his fancy prep school until he discovers he's actually a Dwarf. His new identity is revealed when his dad brings home a bizarre tea that awakens strange abilities in Greg. Soon after, his dad is kidnapped by a murderous Bro-Troll, and Greg is taken to the Underground where Dwarves have lived for centuries beneath Chicago. With the help of new friends and a talking ax, Greg learns about the Dwarves' history of epic failures and their ancient magic. As tensions rise with their enemies, the Elves, Greg must navigate his newfound abilities and save his dad in a world turned upside down. Brimming with humor and action, Chris Rylander's 'The Legend of Greg' delivers a twist on dwarf lore in an irresistible adventure.
