Sir Max the Reluctant Knight

By Wayne Miller and Sierra Mon Ann Vidal

Sir Max The Reluctant Knight is an adventure story for 1st thru 5th graders about a ten year boy who lives in a castle with his parents, the King and Queen. His fun life of adventures playing in and around the castle with his friends suddenly become full of danger as his dad, King Robert, prepares his army to rescue his uncle in his castle down the road. Nothing could be more exciting and more scary than watching the hundreds of knights battle over their Kingdoms. But just as King Robert rode his huge black horse into the fight, he was knocked to the ground and was attacked. Max was frozen in fear-could he get the courage to save his dad and save the Kingdom?
