The empire is under siege in Book 2 of this funny middle grade series by Paul Gilligan starring Doug, ruler of the underworld.
"****The Wimpy Kid's got nothing on the King of the Mole People --he's got more laughs and more mud." --Kirkus Reviews
Doug Underbelly has quit being King of the Mole People. No more Slug, Stone, Mole, or Mushroom underlings. No more skirmishes, no more diplomacy. The only thing standing between Doug and normality is the creaky old graveyard mansion he lives in with his weirdness-loving dad.
But the universe isn't letting Doug go without a fight. First he's forced to manage cleanup crews and dance committees, then a whole new breed of slugs start to revolt. Seems the more Doug tries to get out, the deeper he gets dragged in. Can Doug recreate order and finally reach his dram of just being normal? Maybe, but he'll just have to take it one Slug egg at a time.
