Re: MID: Books with Medieval flair

The 6th graders love the Gerald Morris series beginning with the Squire's
Tale.  Funny and full of adventure.  Here is the blurb from the catalog ....

In medieval England, fourteen-year-old Terence finds his tranquil existence
suddenly changed when he becomes the squire of the young Gawain of Orkney
and accompanies him on a long quest, proving Gawain's worth as a knight and
revealing an important secret about his own true identity.
