The Legend of Greg
The Legend of Greg | Chris Rylander
7 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
A boy discovers his destiny could totally stink in this riotously funny fantasy-adventure Risk-averse Greg Belmont is content with being ordinary. He's got a friend--that's right, just one--at his fancy prep school, and a pretty cool dad (even if he is obsessed with organic soaps that smell like a mix of salted pork and Icelandic bog). The problem is, Greg isn't ordinary . . . he's actually an honest-to-goodness, fantastical Dwarf! He discovers the truth the day his dad brings home a gross new tea--one that awakens bizarre abilities in Greg. Then a murderous Bro-Troll kidnaps his dad and Greg is whisked away to the Underground, where Dwarves have lived for centuries right beneath the subways of Chicago. With the help of some awesome new friends and a talking ax, Greg learns all about the history of the Dwarves, which has been marked with tales of epic failure since the dawn of time. However, the return of the magic they once wielded means big changes are afoot, escalating tensions with the Dwarves' sworn enemy: the Elves. Brimming with humor and action, Chris Rylander's The Legend of Greg turns dwarf lore on its head, delivering an adventure readers won't be able to resist.

I LOVED this so much. I could not put this down. I loved the puns shared between Greg and Edwin and I am so sad for the direction their paths went, I can only hope things will change. I loved the fantasy that was thrown in with the whole Drawf and Elf races, while the cliche trope of them hating each other is over done I still enjoyed it, and the characters were really well written. Cant wait to see what happens in book 2.

Here's hoping Greg is as legendary as his cover implies.

This review made it into the rotation, double booked just under the wire of my move. I'm so glad it did. Greg is a regular (sort of introverted) Chicago kid. He has one friend, he loves his Dad, he loves food, all is pretty okay in his world. I know the city pretty well and this story is spot on geographically correct, I know LOTR and the plotline about Elves and Dwarves was awesome!
I bought the Audible version before I was done reading the book.

It all makes sense now. In fact, it explains so much.

A fun new series steeped in mythical folklore. Greg feels like an outcast in school until he discovers that magic is real and so are dwarves and elves. Even better, he learns he is in fact, a dwarf, which should come in handy especially after his father kidnapped by a troll. A new Middle Readers adventure for Rick Riordan and J K Rowling fans..
