"By Jovia, here’s a fantastically funny new adventure series"
Lincoln ‘Big Nate’ Peirce’s new book is a brilliantly funny story of knights, troubadours, wizards and derring-do, all played out via a snappy mix of text and illustrations. Max is a troubadour in training with Uncle Budrick. Max however really doesn’t want to be a troubadour, but a knight. A series of mishaps lead the two to Byjovia, where Uncle Budrick is imprisoned by wicked King Gastley. With the support of a gang of young friends, aka the Midknights, is this Max’s chance to be a hero? The adventures come thick, fast and very funny and there are surprises in every chapter.
Readers who like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants or the 13-Storey Treehouse series will lap this up, but it’s hard to see anyone not enjoying these hilarious adventures.

Set in medieval times but no boring historical story. Half-written in comic strips, expect magic, dragons, secrets and adventure. It’s really good! I recommend this book to anyone 7+.

This book is EPIC. I loved the illustrations. I loved the twists and laughs along the way.
What a fun read. I loved this so much. Really sad when it ended.
Max wants to be a knight - too bad that dream is about as likely as finding a friendly dragon. But when Max's uncle Budrick is kidnapped by the cruel King Gastley, Max has to act . . . and fast! Joined by a band of brave adventurers - the Midknights - Max sets out on a thrilling quest: to save uncle Budrick and restore the realm of Byjovia to its former glory!
The illustrations are great and it was exciting to turn every page.
I especially like the twist but I won't spoil it for you. My favourite part is when Max's uncle gets turned into a duck.
This book is no ordinary book, Max wishes to be a brave knight but instead has to be a Troubadour which kinda stinks.... Read Full Review
