ABOUT GOOD KNIGHT, DRAGON!
Mortimer McGuire wants to be the youngest magician to earn his wizard license-but first, he has to prove himself. When sheep start disappearing and rumors of a dragon spread, Mortimer jumps at the chance to earn real wizard credit. But things get tricky fast: the dragon isn't what it seems, a legendary knight has gone missing, and a suspicious sorcerer is lurking in the shadows. With help from his best friend Melody, a sarcastic talking hat, and more creativity than common sense, Mortimer sets out to save the day-and maybe finally prove he's worthy of the title of "Wizard".
Good Knight, Dragon! is the first hilarious tale in the Mortimer McGuire: Magician for Hire series-filled with magical mishaps, missing knights, and monstrously silly surprises.
