Summary: Michael Severeson, the son of a nobleman at age eighteen has decided to resurrect knighthood after it has been lost for over two hundred years. He saves a man from going to jail, Fisk and makes him his squire. Off they set to do good in the world. Their first heroic deed is a total disaster. It seems they have rescued a damsel who is not in distress but a murderer. To set things right again, Michael must apologize to the man's brother (she killed her husband) and capture the lady to bring her to her judgement and final punishment. This is not going to be easy for one, Michael, who is too honest and quickly finds himself in impossible binds as his squire stands by shaking his head so to speak. The novel is told in alternating chapters between the two main characters and their points of view. Their pursuit is filled with magic and adventure.
Ages: 12 and up
Comments: I loved the deadpan humor in this book. My quibble with this book is even though you have the alternating chapters between the two main characters, it was hard to distinguish between the two on more than one occasion.
