About this ebook
A powerful novel in free verse about courage, connection and self-discovery. Felix Landon Yarrow, a fourteen-year-old with cerebral palsy, is captivated by the noble, chivalrous ideals of knighthood. So when he fears a school villain poses a danger to his lady love, finding a way to save her becomes his quest. In the elaborate plot he creates, Felix will triumphantly conquer his enemy and rescue his “damsel in distress.” Alas, for this brave knight, as for most middle schoolers, plans often have a way of going awry. A moving story about a young boy grappling with an imperfect world and discovering others are, too.
