Joe the Barbarian tells the story of Joe, an imaginative eleven-year-old boy who can't fit in at school and is the victim of bullies. His father died overseas in the Iraq war, and he also struggles with Type 1 diabetes.

One fateful day, Joe's medical condition causes him to believe he has entered a vivid fantasy world where he is the lost saviour. This fantastical land is based on the layout and contents of his own home.

His desperate attempts to make it out of his bedroom transform into an incredible, epic adventure through a bizarre landscape of submarine pirate dwarves, evil Hell Hounds, Lightning Lords, and besieged castles.

But is his quest really just an insulin-deprived delirium—from which he can die if he doesn't take his medication—or something much bigger?
