It's not easy: he's bad at jokes, he's lousy at sports, and he lives in a creaky old mansion surrounded by gravestones. Also Magda, the weird girl at school, won't leave him alone. And if that weren’t enough, he recently got crowned King of an underground race of Mole People.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoug didn't ask to be king—it's a job he can't really avoid, like the eel sandwiches his dad makes for him (with love). If he thought dealing with seventh grade was tricky, it's nothing compared to navigating the feud between Mole People, Slug People, Mushroom Folk and Stone Goons, not to mention preventing giant worms from rising up and destroying everything. How will Doug restore order? It's all a matter of diplomacy!    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristy Ottaviano Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003eThe Wimpy Kid's got nothing on the King of the Mole People—he's got more laughs and more mud.\u003c\/b\u003e\"—\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eFilled with sly humor and featuring a relatable narrator\u003c\/b\u003e for any kid who’s ever felt like a total loser.
