Max and the Midknights: Battle of the Bodkins [Paperback]

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • Max takes on knight school in the hilarious sequel to the bestselling illustrated novel Max and the Midknights, from the author of the Big Nate series!

Fantastic! I loved it! -Dav Pilkey, New York Times bestselling author of the Dog Man series

Max is epic fun! -Jeff Kinney, New York Times bestselling author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series

Max didn't expect knight school to be so tough. Luckily, she has her best friends--the Midknights--at her side. But when Byjovia is under attack, the Midknights will have to face beastly creatures, powerful spells, and their greatest foe yet--themselves?

Lincoln Peirce, author of the New York Times bestselling Max & the Midknights, brings more laughs, more adventures, and more silliness to Battle of the Bodkins, book two in the Max & the Midknights series. In Peirce’s latest comics-novel hybrid, humor abounds throughout the interplay of text, speech-bubble dialogue, and black-and-white illustrations....But Peirce also adds emotional depth to Max’s struggle with a very relatable anxiety: she wrestles with doubts about her skills (“What if I’m a lousy knight?”). -The Horn Book

Consistently entertaining and enjoyable. -Kirkus Reviews
