Interest Age 8+ Reading Age 8 | In a nutshell: magic, knights and double-dealing

Free Lance is a knight for hire, and sometimes has to take jobs he really shouldn’t, which is definitely the case here. The local lord offers him a bagful of gold to go and retrieve a crown from an island in the middle of the alarmingly – but accurately – named Lake of Skulls. The story involves much fighting, most of it underhand, encounters with some really nasty supernatural creatures, and an awful lot of double-crossing. It’s thrilling, gruesome and comic all at once, the authors drawing scenes and characters brilliantly in very few words, while Chris Riddell’s illustrations ooze menace or humour as required.  ~ Andrea Reece
