At best, they were hoping for eels." These first two sentences set the tone for the whole story, which is full of wry humor, excellent characters, and dangerous adventure. Odo, seventh child of a miller, has no appetite for adventure, but when he pulls a sword out of the dwindling river, he has knighthood thrust upon him. Eleanor, who has always dreamed of being a knight like her mother, agrees to be Odo's squire, and the three of them head upriver to find the source of the problem. Along the way, they encounter kind people and bandits, blacksmiths and "urthkin" and apprentices and a knight who is not what she appears - and, at last, a dragon, Quenwulf, who dispenses justice to all.

Kingfisher; Into the Land of the Unicorns by Bruce Coville, Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George "It's nothing to do with being a knight. It's just doing what's right."(Odo, 171) "But Time marches on forgetful feet, as they say." (Wenneth, 196) He'd been so sure when he left that he didn't want to be a knight. Now...he was almost sure he didn't want to be a miller's son again. (249) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Odo is the seventh son of the village miller and he just wants to get away from work for awhile, Eleanor's mother was a soldier, and she yearns for adventure, but it is Odo who finds the magic talking sword named Biter, and thereby instantly becomes a knight--and together they set out on a quest (somewhat reluctantly on Odo's part) to save their kingdom from threats both human and dragon.

This is a fun romp of a story, though the plot doesn't really bear up under close inspection. Still, it's full of humor and action, and fans of lighthearted juvenile fantasy should take a look. ( )
