The Misadventures of Bob the Brave

The Misadventures of Bob the BraveA fantasy adventure comedy in which the hero is a bit dim, the magic is a bit unhinged, and saving the world could be a catastrophic error.In a world where powerful warriors hold magical swords, dragons fly over burning kingdoms, and ancient prophecies select high-minded heroes... Bob was certainly not among them.Bob is a baker. Or used to be. Now, due to a conveniently ambiguous prophecy, he's been "volunteered" to go on a quest that will decide the destiny of the entire kingdom. With no actual training, a clunky sword, and armor that creaks with each movement, Bob finds himself in a kingdom on the edge of catastrophe-and he could be its savior.Spoiler: Not a good thing.Far from heroic is Bob's startup. He is lost in mystic forests, pursued by beasties that do not exist and given enigmatic guidance by learned animals and faintly sane magicians. And along the journey, he gathers a group of equally dubious compatriots like a bard with no singing skills, a demoralized knight, and an advice-dispensing tree.As he wanders along through magical worlds, ancient relics, and completely whirled-around prophecy scrolls, Bob begins to suspect that maybe saving the world isn't going to be everything it's cracked up to be. But along with all the chaos and comedy, there is a tale of courage, most unlikely of friendships, and learning that sometimes the best thing you can do is just get there.Why read The Misadventures of Bob the Brave?Because you're fed up with sulking, great heroes and grand fantasies who never get the hang of laughing.
