Just when you thought Sir Gadabout was the Worst Knight in the World, enter Sir Mistabit, a Knight of the Green Cross. And so a contest is planned to determine who between the two is worse. My favorite character has got to be Sidney Smith - Merlin the Wizard’s cat - with his witty sarcasm!

Sir Gadabout is a very nice book it is very funny and it has a very nice font I can't say that anything is wrong with it. I really think that the book is very good and whoever wrote this book is a champion at writing, they have mastered writing for kids.
