Now his father has found the perfect place for them, the vast, old, now unused city courthouse. As a historic monument, it is kept heated and has lots of bathrooms and a variety of exits, and entrances. Then Ian's father fails to return one night, and Ian discovers that a local museum is going to put on a six-week exhibit of kites from around the world in one of the largest courtrooms. As the kites arrive and the exhibit is mounted, Ian is increasingly fascinated by what he sees when no one is there and what he overhears.

The dung beetle is then faced with a big decision that is destined to change the savanna itself! The smart and humble dung beetle teaches the importance of everyone's role and the job they play. Parents and young readers alike will be hooked first by the title and second by the hero of the story, an underappreciated dung beetle.

At the side of the notorious monarch is his loyal servant, Walter Tyrrell, who is ranked among the finest archers in the kingdom. Riding through the New Forest, the king is separated from his party.
