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