About this ebook
Young George is suspicious when his unloving father announces that he
will be a squire to King Richard III. It is not long before he finds
out that he is really a hostage to guarantee his father's loyalty to
the king. After one failed escape attempt, George believes his tragic
fate to be sealed. He isn't counting on the heroics of his faithful
servant, Robin, who shows he will do anything to protect his young
master. The king's allies are not so loyal and the future of England is
about to change forever.
An unusual tale, based on a real medieval knight, this story is full of Terry Deary's dark humour and dry wit.
