In this addition to the Interactive Adventure series, Josh and Maisie travel back in time 700 years and record what happens to them as they're thrust into a medieval uprising. “Peering out, we saw a large gathering of people, all in medieval dress. Was that a knight sitting on a horse over there?!” Readers can take part via minibooks and foldout guides about heraldry, weapons, and castle defenses, while the detailed illustrations and breathless narrative should engage reluctant readers. Imaginative kids will feel as though they've taken the journey along with Josh and Maisie. Poster included. Ages 7–up.
