Synopsis:
The World has found its new hero.
The problem? Bentley Ellicott is only a kid.
Bentley has secret powers. And he's going to need them. Bentley is a hero - the thousand and first to be exact - in a long line of heroes that has stretched all the way back to antiquity. Heroes like Arthur and Hercules.
And now: Bentley.
That's because there is an evil in the world that never dies. Its name is Prnce Ombra. When Prince Ombra arises a hero is called upon to battle him. One day when Bentley is grown he will be that hero.
What Bentley doesn't know is that his "one day" is today.

Reviews:
This fantasy novel first published in 1982 depicts a boy with magic powers compelled to confront ancient evils in a modern New England town.

In the vein of works by Tolkien and Terry Brooks, Prince Ombra is a basic fantasy of good vs. evil. Its twist is that the champion of good is a crippled eight-year-old boy. LJ's reviewer found that the author "combines the measured phrase of legends with the chaos of modern life in fascinating juxtaposition" (LJ 11/15/82).
