Book Description
“A magical story full of humor and heart.” —Katherine Applegate, Newbery-winning author of The One and Only Ivan For fans of The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom comes an offbeat, comedic spin on the Excalibur legend told from the point of view of a talking dog who wants to be a magician! Meet Nosewise. He’s spunky. He’s curious. And he’s a dog who can’t understand why his pack mates Merlin and Morgana spend all day practicing magic tricks. If it’s a trick they want, he’s the dog to ask! He can already Sit!, Stay!, and Roll Over! But there’s no way Nosewise is Stay!ing when his master and best friend, Merlin, is kidnapped. There’s nothing Nosewise won’t do to get Merlin back, even if it means facing the strange Fae people and their magic-eating worms, or tangling with the mysterious Sword in the Stone. But it may take more than sniffing out a spell to do it! Nosewise’s hilarious escapades and steadfast loyalty get him and his companions through King Arthur’s Dark Ages. "An entertaining adventure full of humor and magic" –Booklist "A delightful magical fantasy, perfect for fans of fairy tales, legends, and dogs.” –School Library Journal "An ingenious and entirely credible (at least dog lovers will agree with this) twist on the familiar tale.” –Kirkus Reviews "Nosewise is one of the silliest narrators around." —The Bulletin

Book Description
Twist legend into truth... the Round Table's lost passion, the Holy Grail, is alive and well in the Regency era. As her family tells her often enough, bossy Sarah Frampton isn't pretty, she's a wallflower, good only to chaperone her sister, a member of the Banshee Brigade. That useless group of society fribbles is stumbling through the Little Season of 1814 with Sarah tagging along. Sir Sloane Johnstone, on the other hand, is society's darling. One of those frightfully competent men who mastermind the government, Sloane has the added distinction of being Keeper of the Grail. The Holy Grail. Yes, the Holy Grail is housed in the Tower of London along with the Crown jewels and Sloane is in charge of it. But a valuable Fra Angelico painting has disappeared. Sarah dreads her volatile father's reaction when he learns of its loss. She has to find it, but she needs help. Who else could she ask but the man she considers the parfait gentle knight? When Sloane agrees to find the Fra Angelico altarpiece, Cosmas and Damian are to be burnt alive, he mounts his charger, an ornery horse called Grumbler, and sets out to save the domineering damsel. Security at the Tower of London and other problems clutter up the quest, but as surely as Gunter's serves ices, the Holy Grail can bless a happily ever after. Will it do so for Sarah and Sloane?
