Knight for a day

Knight for a day was funny in small differnt parts. A famouse guy from DSA (dragon slayer academy) will come his name is sir lancelct. He came to show the DSA boys how a knight should dress up and,fight. Erica dosent like sir lancelct so when was running Erica put her foot out she tript him. He is also famous for his birthmark on his right heel that is shape like a sord. At the end they tell sir lancelot to leave. I liked this book because it is a adveture,some comedy,and in there other Dragon Slayers Academy is more of action. In some way it is wierd because they have the wierdest names like wiglaf or baldrick. This was just book number five of ten.

Son couldn't get enough of it.

This is a great book from a great series. My 9 year old son loves them. He took the books every time we went on a road trip, read them before bed, he was even reading them instead of watching afterschool cartoons! They are well written and funny.

Knight for a day

Knight for a Day was a really good book , one of my favorite parts was the weapons class with Master X . I would recomend this book if you like humor.

Inspired a School to Read

My son and I discovered this whole series of books when he was a first grader...perfect for him to read as a second grader now. In the spirit of Harry Potter and the Hobbit but not so complex that kid's lose the story line. Full of jokes and adventure, I cannot recommend these any more strongly for the 7 to 10 age group (depending on reading ability). We've had two impressive endorsements: When we first began reading about Wiglaf, it was on a plane to Colorado. As I read to my son, I realized that other children were tuning in to the story. Several parents asked for the book titles and the author when we landed. Also, late last year I read books 1-3 for a first grade class and have since read to the second grade. The library has been unable to keep two full sets in stock and the teachers have purchased their own sets. It has taken reading by storm as boys and girls strive to finish the series.Oh yeah, and adults will get a private chuckle out of the humor and wordplay from time to time.

This is a great book.

If you like wizards, dragons, knights,and magic read Dragon Slayers' Academy books. The best one is number five. It is about a kid named Wiglaf, his two friends, and his pig Daisy. Daisy can talk because a wizard put a speech spell on her and now she can speak pig latin. This book has a surprise but I won't tell you what or where it is. I recommend that you buy Dragon Slayers' Academy five, Knight For A Day.
