Bank Street Best Books of the Year Junior Library Guild selection School Library Journal's Best Books selection "A timeless, smart take on a classic story."—Booklist, starred review "Compelling and full of adventure, with a plot as clever as its main character."—Kirkus "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.
