A parent would reach for this book when their child complains that history is just a list of boring dates and needs a more immersive, hands-on way to connect with the past. By placing the reader directly into the role of a knight across three different historical eras, this book transforms facts into a series of urgent personal decisions. It explores the heavy responsibilities of chivalry, the harsh realities of medieval warfare, and the complex social structures of the Crusades and the Hundred Years' War. This interactive approach fosters a sense of accountability and justice, helping middle-grade readers understand that history is shaped by individual choices. It is a fantastic tool for reluctant readers who crave agency and action while building a solid foundation of European history.
