The Not So Chosen One: When the Chosen Ones Are Gone, Someone's Got to Pretend

When the Chosen Ones are gone, someone's got to pretend... In the kingdom of Alderfell, Gordy Simpleton is a normal thirteen-year old kid. He washes disgusting dishes, babysits his whiny little sister, and sometimes gets to play video games on his MagiBox. But what he really wants is to be a hero. Too bad the recently escaped Wraith King has killed them all. When his sister is attacked by the Wraith King's crows, she starts transforming into a wraith. Only the now-extinct Chosen One can save his sister. Gordy hatches a plan to trick the Wraith King into believing he's the Chosen One. He only needs a few things to be believable: a magical sword, a trusty dragon, and a wizard mentor. But true magical swords have been replaced by sarcastic, mouthy weapons, dragons are lazy and live in zoos, and wizards haven't been seen for more than a hundred years. With the help of his cousin and a mysterious girl named Luria, Gordy struggles to become the best pretend Chosen One the world has ever seen. If only he could convince the Wraith King and save his sister...and not doom the world in the process.
