Knight in Training: To the Rescue!: Book 6

Description

A funny, exciting series for younger readers, by the bestselling Vivian French and David Melling. Sam J. Butterbiggins has one wish: to become a Very Noble Knight. But he's been packed off to his aunt and uncle's castle where knightly activities are not allowed. Sam's final quest is the hardest yet. With his cousin Prune by his side, he's going to have to use all his knightly skills as he heads into the Fearsome Forest. The wolves live there - and, high in the trees, even more terryifying creatures ... Beautifully illustrated throughout by David Melling.
