A good, quick read! It had an interesting plot and well developed characters. I really enjoyed this book, and will definitely continue reading the series.

A 14 year old boy is sent back to the 17th century to unite the three musketeers and save his parents from execution at the hands of the king. Yes please. I know I read (and liked) Space Case by this author when I was a middle grade reader, but I wish my library had had this one as well. T'was fun.

Greg had a bad feeling about selling all his family’s art from the beginning. He didn’t expect that bad feeling was foreshadowing a travel through time. After he and his family are wrongly accused of trying to assassinate the king of France from 1615, Greg must rescue his parents. He even knows who to recruit to help him - the Three Musketeers!
Although this series is the hardest of Gibbs’ to find, I think it’s one of the best! I had so much fun reading this one. It was a bit like Spy School, but medieval and with magic. I’m glad I finally found a paperback copy. I highly recommend it to fans of Stuart Gibbs and those who love magic and mystery. I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Great Book
I love this book. I love the mystery and the old French history included in this novel by Stuart Gibbs.

The Last Musketeer is a fun reimagining of the classic Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas. Greg Rich is fourteen years old and traveling in Paris with his family. He and his family aren’t really there to sightsee though. His family is formerly rich, but over the generations the family wealth had been squandered away. Now, he and his parents are in Paris to sell off the family furniture and art to the Lourve. During the trip, Greg’s parents disappear. They’re not just missing though, rather they (and Greg) have been transported back in time. Greg finds himself in Paris during the reign of King Louis XIII. He ends up befriending Aramis, Athos, and Porthos (who call him D’Artagnan) and they go on an adventure to find and free Greg’s parents.
This book is quick-paced, fun, and witty. If you truly love the original Three Musketeers, then this may not be the book for you. It’s definitely not meant to be an origin story, but more of a modern day reimagining. The characters are likeable and description and details are interesting and informative, but not overwhelming. Details aren’t necessarily 100% historically accurate, but this is a great book for it’s target audience (middle grade students). The themes of friendship, trust, and never giving up are all covered. The author seamlessly works in the idea of “all for one and one for all.” I would recommend this book to my students who enjoy historical fiction, time travel, sword fights, and adventure.
