Yeah, it was fine and my kids loved it, but where’s the meat of the story? Where are the revelations, where is the conflict? Anyway, recommended for little ones. These kids show up, visit a few rooms in a castle, then **spoiler alert** a silent Knight gives them a lift back to the tree house. So why am I only giving it four stars? Well, as an adult this didn’t seem like a whole story. This was also a decent educational read, as the kids learned what words like “moat” and “precipice” mean, and get to learn about life during medieval times. For the most part, just one gorgeous image per chapter. The illustrations were great in this book, though I wish there were a few more of them. This is just the second book in the series, so the kids aren’t sure it will work again and are jotting down clues to figure out what’s going on. Choose from Same Day Delivery, Drive Up or Order Pickup. It’s about a little boy and girl who figure out their tree house can transport them into the world of the books inside of it. Read reviews and buy The Knight at Dawn Graphic Novel - (Magic Tree House (R)) by Mary Pope Osborne at Target. Coming off a book the whole family did not enjoy, this one pulled my boys in right away. I’m giving this one a four but my five year old son would have given it a perfect score and then some.
