So read this whole series in elementary school and was reminded of them recently, so I looked it up solely for nostalgia. I have a strong memory of getting in trouble during silent reading for laughing too loudly because of these. So fun.

My son and daughter (5 and 7) were gripped by this book. We read it in three sittings, but they easily would have sat through the whole book if we had time. The dialogue was snappy and catchy, mixing a healthy dose of incredulity with the time travel bit.

Though this is a very short chapter book (only about 50 pages), it does require some strong understanding of language and vocabulary which might trip up younger readers. The premise is that 3 friends end up back in time with the Knights of the Roundtable. There is a mixture of present day talk with some formal language (ie. What sayeth he? - type of stuff) There is a lot of humor and fun and could be a great start for kids who might be overwhelmed by a longer book.

It was ok.... I was expecting a little bit more informational facts about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

Cute - not something I would rave about. Another Level 1 BOB book.

A fun, silly short novel for beginning (or struggling readers) full of Sczieska's usual absurdity. Boys will love it.

I love this book in so many ways, for so many reasons - and I can't believe it's taken me this long to read it! I kind of want to plow through the entire series...but I don't have time. :( Then again, they're super short... so maybe I can pull off one a week or so!
