The Crown, Book 1

"Do you want to be King?"
"No. I want to be *the* King."
...
Ambition. Power. Determination. Drive. These were the four things Boocien had in the beginning. His powers were still developing, and he had little friends. Some looked down on him, and some mistook his size for weakness, but that would prove to be a mistake. This little Boo that could was *not* to be underestimated.

As a crisis looms on the horizon in mid-20th century Boo Woods, one smaller-than-average Boo will rise to the challenge and become a figure commanding authority and respect. He will do battle with an eccentric, dark-haired college professor and his feisty, unsinkable Italian-American companion, and he *will* be King.
