After their Kingdom is taken over by the Dark Knight Vladek, a band of heroic Knights are forced to travel on a dangerous quest to find the Heart of the mythical Shield of Ages-the one thing that can help the Knights defeat the Dark Knight in a Grand Tournament to take back their homeland.
My 7 year old, Thomas happens to be going thru his knights and wizards phase. I suppose all boys do. These Kights'Kingdom by Lego books are easy to read for the AVERAGE 2nd grader and take about 3o minutes start to finish. Nothing objectionable, mostly clear cut good guys defeating with some effort clear cut bad guys.
My 5yo read this out loud for school, and he loved it. Very simple to read, but exciting for my little knight-in-shining armor :) For some reason I keep getting an error when I try to rate this with stars, so I'll just say that my kid thinks it should have 10-billion stars.
