If you were more average than anyone else, would that finally make you exceptional?

When James decides to become most average kid in the entire world, things begin to happen that would never happen to an ordinary kid. He is thrust into another world called the Realm of Possibility, where the Kingdom of Average has lost its king. James is recruited by a talking Scapegoat named Mayor Culpa, to replace the former King, Norman the Unexceptional. Along the way they meet a professional Optimist and his grouchy companion, an equally professional Pessimist called Kiljoy.

Together with his new friends, James sets out on a journey of self-discovery that leads him all the way from Lake Inferior and the Sea of Doubt, to the Unattainable Mountains, whose highest peak is Mt. Impossible . There he stumbles upon a Shangri-La called Epiphany, where he discovers the truth about who he really is.
