"A timeless, smart take on a classic story."--Booklist, starred review
A hilarious and heartfelt graphic novel adventure about unlikely friendship, awkward bravery, and discovering what it really means to be a hero, Squire & Knight is a charming twist on classic fantasy storytelling that's as funny as it is emotionally resonant.
When a timid, rule-following squire is unexpectedly paired with a bold, unpredictable knight, neither of them is prepared for the chaos that follows. Sent on a quest that quickly spirals beyond their control, the duo must navigate dangerous lands, ridiculous misunderstandings, and increasingly absurd challenges--all while learning how to trust each other. What begins as a simple mission turns into an unforgettable journey filled with: - mismatched partners forced into teamwork
- monsters, magic, and unexpected surprises
- heartfelt character growth beneath the humor
- and a fresh, modern take on knightly quests As their adventure unfolds, both squire and knight are forced to confront what they think heroism looks like--and realize that courage doesn't always look the way stories promise.

Hilarious and Heartfelt
Format: Hardcover
I started reading this to see if my cousins (who are between 7 and 11) would like it-- and I ended up loving it. It's a fun, mysterious, animal-friendly book. It not only keeps the reader on edge as an exciting whodunnit but also touches on deep questions of animal welfare and consumerism. The characters, both the children and the adults are touchingly real, filled with flaws and always given the chance to redeem themselves. Although it takes place in an imaginary zoo and much of the book is comedy, everything that happens feels so authentic.
I'd recommend it to both kids and adults-- everyone will get something different out of it.

This book kept me guessing and housing until the end, it deserves five stars!
Format: Kindle
I started to read this book because my friend was reading it on the way to swim practice and I wondered what kept her so intrigued and unresponsive. I asked her about it and she told me what it was about and what was currently happening. I was already rather to start it. I bought it and immediately began to read. I read for about four hours straight- stupidly- no joke!! It was one of few mystery/action-adventure novels that are actually really unpredictable in great ways! All I could think about was the story as I say in middle-school today, wondering what would happen next. I would most certainly recommend this to any reader, wether out not they like mystery or not!

Awesome Information for Kids - History, legends and fun facts
Format: Flexibound, Format: Flexibound
Packed with interesting and entertaining facts and legends for kids (and adults but def geared towards kids). My youngest could only read in small doses because it’s A LOT of info packed on the pages. They really enjoyed learning about Barcelona’s affinity for giants, dragons, and good versus evil. So many fascinating tid bits got them excited about our summer trip (we are going to Barcelona!).
Highlights: executioners would sell dead people’s shoes which the townspeople put in front of their houses to ward off evil spirits.
Gaudi didn’t use straight lines because there are none in nature. He was so obsessed with the basilica plans he stopped hygiene and wore shoes made of woven plant roots.
My kids loved the section on chocolate and candies (my vote is churros) and the tradition of the poop log 💩
Overall we really enjoy this book and it will join us on our travels. It got my kids excited to see the giant goldfish sculpture, see the sharks at the aquarium, the amusement park, fountains, statues and so many of the history rich areas of Barcelona.
Highly recommend if you’re planning a trip with kids to get them engaged, or for a report for school, or just to learn about other places and cultures.
Please note - this is not a travel guide for adults. No hotels, tours, prices etc are included.
