Set in a mythical medieval fantasy world amid a backdrop of castles, dragons, and damsels in distress. Tired of being teased about his name and his stutter, twelve-year-old Hobart wants to do heroic deeds and earn a place in Knight School. He sets out on a most daring quest to kill a dragon. Along the way he meets several strange and endearing characters.  Hobart’s honesty and self-deprecation will have readers relating to his failures and disappointments. When he begins to sense the needs and desires of others, he becomes more compassionate and self-confident. His quest takes readers on a journey that is entertaining and inspiring. Good pacing and humor will keep readers engaged. Recommended for reluctant readers because it is only 90 pages and a it’s a rolicking good story.
