Review:

Martin, son of Sir Anselm of the Hollow, risks his life more than one time, in this fast-paced mystery of 1200. The good king Richard is dead, and his brother John is king, and will do anything to get money. Suddenly, Baron Eric disappears, and his moody and jealous cousin Basil moves in. His daughter Rosamund and wife can do nothing to stop him, so the castle is in danger. In an unguarded moment of kindness, Basil invites Martin to become a page in the castle. Will Martin take the chance and somehow save the castle and Rosamund? Or will he fall into the hands of a dreadful foe?

In a nutshell: An awesome read, you will love the mystery in it! Does have mention of “ghost.”

Review:

David was having such a good time playing in the snow, when the “sad thing” happened, and David could walk no more. Even though this tragedy happened, he was a very happy boy. Then, he meets a boy named Arthur, and Arthur tells him about knights and Sir Galahad. How David kept his joy, regained his strength, and kept faithful to Jesus, makes a great story.

In a nutshell:A great story, if you think you are about to give up, read this book! Great for a person who loves knights.
