Sir Nathan and the Troublesome Task — Mark Smith

Sir Nathan and the Troublesome Task is a silly fantasy adventure, written for both boys and girls ages 8 through 14 and for the young at heart. The book is written to encourage children to read with their parents and to expand their vocabulary in an exciting and humorous story. Once again, Queen Gobbledeegook has called upon Sir Nathan, Hero of Mariskatania, to help in her time of need. The Royal Twins have gone missing and it seems as if only the Hero can find them. Sir Nathan finds his mission difficult as he encounters dragons and witches and an entire tribe of ogres, but he's even more troubled by a tag-along who wants to be a knight, but hasn't taken the required two-hour Basic Knight Training Class.
