About the Book

Last term, Berkley Paggle ( AKA Bad Knight) defeated a dragon at the end-of-term jousting match. When he comes back to school, he discovers that his dragon battling abilities have made him the most popular kid in class. He loves the attention, but his cousin, Godwin (AKA Good Knight), is not impressed when Berk lets his popularity go to his head. Tom Knight, author and illustrator of Good Knight, Bad Knight and Jimmy Finnigan's Wild Wood Band, returns with mid-grade fiction featuring the same characters and armour-splittingly funny humour.

About the Author :
Tom Knight is an illustrator from the east coast of England. After ten years of working as a graphic designer, he realised that true happiness lay in drawing pictures in his garden shed.

He is also author of Jimmy Finnigan's Wild Wood Band (Templar) and Good Knight Big Knight and the Big Game (Templar).

Review :
Author and illustrator Tom Knight, the magical master of gloriously comical picture books and the creator of Good Knight, Bad Knight, returns with a hilarious new middle grade series starring those charismatic rival knights. From danger and drama to rhymes and laugh-out-loud adventures, this is an entertaining and time-honoured fiction formula that will delight both children and parents. Berkley Paggle is a bad knight and his cousin Godwin is a good knight. At least that's the way things used to be. Last term Berk defeated a dragon with his troll-breath stink bomb in a jousting match and when he comes back to school, he discovers that his dragon-battling abilities have made him the most popular kid in class. Berk loves the attention and joins the school bladderball team so he can hang out with the cool knights. Berk lets his popularity go to his head and doesn't have time for Godwin and his best friend Warrick any more... until Godwin discovers that Warrick is dabbling in dark magic and needs Berk's help. Brimming with Knight's lively, high-energy illustrations and a madcap story that delivers, spills, thrills, laughs and mishaps, this is the perfect series for mischievous youngsters and an appealing adventure for reluctant readers. The two young rival knights are back, not in picture book format but in what looks to be the first of a series and if this one is anything to go by the aptly named Tom Knight is on to a winner. In case you didn't meet the cousins in their previous incarnation, Berkeley Paggle is the bad one, Godwin the goody. A rhyming introduction sets the scene reminding us of how Berkeley saved the day by using a terrific stink bomb to send an evil-intentioned dragon skywards. Now school is about to start again and Berk with his new hero status is eagerly anticipating the day for the first time ever. Thus begins a delicious tale of derring-do, a dark magic dabble - the dabbler being Warrick Pitchkettle (Berk's best pal), who has come across an ancient spell book. The plot is frenetic and throughout, the dialogue is peppered with mock-medieval exclamations, some just plain crazy, others with a tinge of toilet; and there are diary entries, a weird game called bladderball - Berk's current obsession,dastardly deeds - of course, great danger in the form of a brush with the evil hordesand a surprising admission (Berk again, but Godwin too).The tale is spicily summed up in a few final verses sung by the cast and there's a glossary should you struggle with some of the wonderful medieval words. I'll say no more other than it all adds up to a cracking read liberally littered with super illustrations by Tom himself. Shortlisted for the Teach Primary New Children's Fiction Awards in 2016, Tom Knight returns with the armour-splitting Good Knight, Bad Knight and the Big Game, a hilarious series of middle-grade fiction about the same young rival of knights. Last term, Berkley Paggle (AKA Bad Knight) defeated a dragon at the end-of-term jousting match. When he comes back to school, he discovers that his dragon battling abilities have made him the most popular kid in class. He loves the attention, but his cousin, Godwin (AKA Good Knight), is not impressed when Berk lets So let's kick off with a book by an aptly-named author. "Good Knight, Bad Knight and the Big Game" by Tom Knight is a medieval romp with a ton of spookiness. At Knight School, last term Berkley Paggle ( AKA Bad Knight) defeated a dragon at the end-of-term jousting match. When Berkley comes back to school, he discovers that his dragon battling abilities have made him the most popular kid in class. He loves the attention and coasts on his fame, but his cousin, Godwin (AKA Good Knight), is not impressed when Berk lets his popularity go completely to his head. There's a new menace in town, and a battle royale on the horizon and it might be time to join forces!
