Review:

When Horace and his friends decide to start the White Knights Club, they didn’t know how hard it would be to keep the promise they had made when they started the club. The promise was to help all “damsels in distress”. What that meant was that they had to keep from teasing other girls, help and serve all ladies. It was extremely hard to do this and not tease girls. Their trouble refined them in their walk with Christ. It will also help refine you in your walk.

In a nutshell: Great book, nothing wrong with it. Boys will love it!

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.”
