The popularity of graphic novels is growing by leaps and bounds. Young readers can’t get enough of this colorful story telling approach.

The second book in the Adventure Kingdom series, A Knight of the Realm, is another fun and exciting addition to your shelves. The story can be read on it’s own, but you’ll probably go back and read the first to find out how this magical theme park got its start.

Clark and Karoline return along with a little girl who has lost her parents. They all end up, via a wishing well portal, to another theme park world where everyone is urged to drink snake oil. Doing so and your mind is controlled by the evil doers. It will be up to these kids to put a stop to the madness.

Bright, detailed images fill the pages and are a real draw for new middle grade readers not quite ready for text intensive novels. Adventure Kingdom A Knight at the Realm hints at more adventures to come along with a sneak peak at another Epic graphic series.
