Genre: Graphic Novel - full color throughout
My Rating: 8/10
Another excellent graphic novel to please kids who love reading comic-style stories! This action-packed series tells about Artie King, a new boy in school who claims to be a dodgeball pro when confronted by his classmates. When he gets assigned to the locker that no one can open (which also happens to have a legend to go along with it...), he instantly becomes a hero in the school - but Artie is unsure about whether or not he has what it takes to defeat the school bully, Joe Roman.
The references to Arthurian Legend are witty and most children who are familiar with the story of The Sword in the Stone will be able to pick up on most of them. Overall, a very nicely done graphic novel that will keep kids entertained while providing a decent story line.
