"A timeless, smart take on a classic story."--Booklist, starred review

"A witty, adventurous tale." --School Library Journal
"...an enjoyable read that champions the shy, the brainy and the inquisitive." --BookPage
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.
