About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels they are ready for more responsibility than the world is giving them, or when they are struggling with the transition from being a 'big kid' to a 'young adult.' It is a perfect choice for children who have a silly sense of humor but also crave a classic sense of adventure and justice. The story follows Odo and Eleanor, two young knights who are bored with their quiet village life until an ancient chant sends them on a quest to find dragons and stop a royal impostor. Beneath the talking swords and magical creatures, the story explores the value of patience and the importance of choosing to do the right thing even when it is difficult. It is a lighthearted, fast-paced fantasy that avoids heavy trauma, making it a safe yet exciting choice for independent readers in late elementary or early middle school.
