Max & the Midknights is a Children's Book by Lincoln Peirce, the creator of the Big Nate series.One day, Nate turns in a book report about "Max & The Midknights" to Mrs. Godfrey for his history class. He assures Mrs. Godfrey that it is a historical report because it's set in the middle ages and features kings, a dragon, and a Wicked Witch.The story is about Max, a young boy (actually a girl) who dreams of becoming a knight. However, she seems destined to become a troubadour under her uncle, "Sir" Budrick, who as troubadours go, isn't all that good a singer. Their travels bring them to the Kingdom of Byjovia, where Budrick spent his most formative years before leaving to become a troubadour (which he did so he didn't have to become a knight). He remembers Byjovia as a prosperous kingdom under the rule of King Conrad the Kind, who was loved by all but his brother Gastley, who sought to take the throne for himself. Thankfully though, Conrad banished him a long time ago. So, the two decide to go there.Only, it seems Byjovia has become its polar opposite since Budrick was last there. Conrad set off a year ago to battle a monster at the land's borders, and never returned. In his absence, Gastley returned and took the throne for himself. Now Byjovia is a miserable place full of crabby, grumpy people, and it's actually against the law to be a vagrant, even if you're a kid. What's more, when Gastley learns that Budrick is an entertainer, he takes him into the castle to make him his jester, leaving Max out on the street.However, Max won't take all this sitting down. Teaming up with fellow vagrants Simon and Millie, and new friend Kevyn, Max decides they will become the knights Byjovia needs to kick Gastley off the throne.The book was published on June the 8th, 2019. It gained a sequel, Max And The Midknights Battle Of The Bodkins. | |

Exact Words | |

Exact Words: Some time ago, Mumblin' the wizard gave Kevyn's father a coin to summon him. He told him that, if he ever needed him, to hold on to the coin tightly, and Mumblin' would appear in the blink of an eye. Max deduces that Kevyn's father needs to blink WHILE holding the coin to get Mumblin' to come to him. | |
