About This Book
Reach for this book when you have a reluctant reader who needs a high-interest, fast-paced hook to realize that books can be genuinely funny. If your child is easily bored by traditional history or long descriptive passages, this zany adventure provides the perfect antidote with its irreverent humor and constant action. It is an ideal bridge for kids moving into independent chapter books. The story follows three friends, Joe, Sam, and Fred, who are accidentally transported to King Arthur's court by a magical book. As they navigate the Middle Ages, they must use their wits, teamwork, and a fair amount of luck to survive knights and giants. While it introduces historical and mythological elements, the focus is on the camaraderie between the boys and their creative problem-solving. It is a lighthearted, age-appropriate choice for kids aged 7 to 11 who value friendship and a good laugh.
