Roger is just an ordinary boy, in an ordinary worldโ€” or so he thinks, until a grumpy dwarf warrior, Mossbelly MacFearsome, appears out of thin air and saves him from the school bully.

If that isn't incredible enough, now Moss has decided that Roger is the perfect human companion for his daring quest to defeat the dwarves' arch-enemy, Leatherhead Barnstorm, and his horrifying horde of monstrous (but very polite) gorefiends.

If Roger doesn't help Moss, the world as we know it will be destroyed by ogres and dragons, and the race of humans will be annihilated. If he does help, he will be late for his tea, and his mum will be going mad with worry.

A Highland castle, a trainee witch who knows karate, and an ancient spell to be brokenโ€”by King Golmar's braces, just what has Roger got himself into?

Mossbelly MacFearsome and the Dwarves of Doom is a hilarious action-packed fish-out-of-water adventure, perfect for young fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Cressida Cowell.
