Summary: Award-Winning Fantasy
Review: Knight's Wyrd won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for
Children's Literature in 1992 (the year of its first hardback
release), and was placed on the prestigious New York Public
Library Books for the Teen Age list in 1993. Here's what some of the critics have said about Knight's Wyrd:
"Suspenseful ... Fast-paced and action-packed, the book is filled
with surprising encounters, as well as life and death struggles ...
Terrors and grisly demises are graphically described, making this
not a book for the squeamish."
-School Library Journal
"An unusual fantasy, matter-of-factly combining a realistic story
of knighthood with magic ... The ending leaves the reader with
the hope that further adventures ... will be forthcoming. A
prepossessing, sensible hero and a lively story."
-The Horn Book Magazine

Summary: Recommended for children at the ages of 10 and up
Review: Knights Wyrd is very exciting. It catches the readers attention at every moment. Your eyes will never venture away from the pages. If you have children, I reccomend this book as a gift. When I read this book, I had to read at least 3 chapters at a time, before something even slightly boring happened. The reader left out all of the boring areas, and kept the exciting parts. The only flaw is that the book is a little too short for fast readers.

Summary: Knight's Wyrd
Review: Not heavy on reading books? Well to tell you the trueth I was never fond of reading books myself. Everytime I picked up a book and started reading, halfway through the book I would start to doze off. Till the day I picked up Knight's Wyrd. It was like pulling the sword out of the stone. When I started reading it, I was quickly hooked. And I'm just a normal 16 year old who, like any other youth, would rather play video games or watch t.v. instead of sitting down and open up a book.

Review: Obviously much effort has gone into this but the Harry Potter books are a much better read, particularly for children.

Summary: Why Not Just Give Your Kids the Best
Review: On the eve of his knighting, Will Odoson of Rostenbury learns of his wyrd, or destiny. Through treachetrous terrain and evil, and mystical creatures including: a man-eating troll, a magic working dragon, beautiful mermaids, and perhaps the most dangerous advesary and invincible ogre that has hidden his death in a bird's egg. Full of a sense of adventure, love, and destiny; this book is amazing. It was a real page turner, and once you start you won't ever put it down. It's possible to read the book 20 times and find something new EVERY SINGLE time.

Summary: After Harry Potter, what?
Review: Teachers and librarians, delighted with the surge of reading that Rowling's Harry Potter books have engendered, are busy compiling lists for children who ask "What next?" KNIGHT'S WYRD is high on my "What next?" list. Superbly written, this fast-paced action story contains beauty, insight, and (unlike far too many quasi-medieval books nowdays) a glimpse into how medieval people really saw the world. I recommend this book for all budding fantasy readers--or for any reader who wants a good book.
