James is average in most every way. His grades are mediocre,
he's medium in height and build. In fact, there's absolutely nothing
about James that sets him apart in any way. He's just an incredibly
normal kid. One day, he muses aloud that he's so very ordinary he could
quite possibly be the king of average. And that's when James' world begins to
shift. He's suddenly transported to the land of Average, where everything
is quite literally average.
Except, as he soon learns, the current king of Average has gone missing.
James is challenged with a mission, find the king of Average, learn why
he departed, then return to claim his title as the new king. James
happily accepts his quest and he, along with a motley crew of new companions
set out to find the missing royal.
