A funny, exciting series for younger readers, by the bestselling Vivian French and David Melling.

Sam J. Butterbiggins has one wish: to become a Very Noble Knight. But he’s been packed off to his aunt and uncle’s castle where knightly activities are not allowed.

With the help of his cousin Prune, Sam has discovered a magical scroll that tells him the six quests he must complete to become a knight, and he’s already finished four! For his fifth quest, Sam must defeat a fearsome foe. But it’s a snowy day, and he and Prune are stuck inside. There are no enemies to be found – until Uncle Archibald sends them to the cellar …

The knotted worm was a little bit scary, but turned out well in the end

It was a fiction book. The pictures and the characters interested me. Yes i would recommend it to someone else. I don't have a favourite characters, they were all good.

It was definitely not real. The magic scroll was not real and the Knotted Worm was not real. The Knotted Worm had teeny-weeny glasses that don't fit her eyes and she kept it on a thorn on the start of her nose and I don't think she would be able to see through that because it is far away. I liked Uncle Archie best because he was very caring to Sam and Prune and make sure that they were safe. Even though Sam was a Knight - In - Training, he beat the Knotted Worm. I didn't like Aunt Egg because she was mean and stupid. I think the funny bit was when Sam got curled up in the Knotted Worm's tail and when she twisted him around, he said, "Weeeeeee". The scary part was when there was a Woooooooooooooo noise. The most scariest part was when the armour moved . I didn't think that Sir Giles was a ghost because if he was, then he should be invisible. It was a great book. You must read it and you would say it is great too.

What I liked about the book is that it has lots of twists and a mixture of feelings my favourite character is Jingle because he always tricks everybody

My favourite character was jingle and my thoughts about this book was that there is a lot of mixtures in the book based on the feeling which I like because it attracts me so therefore I rated it a three

You should read this book because at the end Sam and Prunella read the 5th task.
