The story of Doug Underbelly starts out fast. Underbelly is the king of the mole people and it’s important to know that because he’s being called back to do the king’s work by the end of the first chapter. Granted, there is a two-page prologue that gives readers a very quick overview of the situation. Doug is just trying to be a typical seventh-grade student, but he’s also the King of the Mole People. Unfortunately for him, the later seems to always have the upper hand.
