Max and the Midknights is a medieval adventure story by Lincoln Pierce, the author of the Big Nate series.
Max’s Uncle Budrick is a troubadour, who travels around singing, juggling, and playing the lute. And Max is an apprentice troubadour who dreams of being a knight.
When the evil King Gastley forces Uncle Budrick to become his court jester, it’s up to Max and a group of kids who call themselves the Midknights to save the day. To do so, they’ll have to use all their talents and face all sorts of dangers.
Like the Big Nate novels, this story is told in a combination of text and comic panels. It’s fast-paced and funny with everything you could want in a medieval adventure from swords to sorcery to dragons. Larrabee and I both liked it a lot.

The kids say that they’re not actual knights, but they’re more than make-believe knights. They’re somewhere in the middle. 🙂

this looks fun – and the sort of book a kid who dreams of being a knight would love to read!

Leave it to Lincoln Peirce to write another book that will pull in those kids who need a little extra nudge to read on their own. Great idea and I’ll be looking for a copy.
