New York Times bestselling, award-winning creator Matt Phelan’s Knights vs. Dinosaurs is a fast-paced and funny middle grade illustrated adventure.

An ALA Notable Title

Renowned for their courage, their chivalry, and their ability to fight mythical creatures, the Knights of the Round Table must face their most dangerous opponents yet . . .

Let me tell you a secret about King Arthur’s noble knights: they don’t have much to do. The realm is at peace and dragons are few and far between. So Merlin decides to send them out on a real adventure to a world filled with the most terrible lizards of all: DINOSAURS!

A hilarious, rip-roaring tale of derring-do perfect for reluctant readers and fans of How to Train Your Dragon, The Terrible Two, and The Wild Robot, Knights vs. Dinosaurs features art on nearly every page, including an epic fight scene depicted in several graphic-novel style spreads for an engaging story that reads like Monty Python for young middle school readers.

“Whether jousting with a triceratops or facing down a T-rex, [squire] Mel should come with a halo: She’s thoughtful, sensitive, and wise. . . . Drawn deftly, lightly.” —New York Times Book Review

“Four braggart knights and one underappreciated squire off against dinosaurs, all while learning about teamwork and honesty. . . . As the time-traveling knights try to fight their way back to their true place in time, plot twists reveal the heroes’ true identifiers, adding depth to this hilarious slapstick romp.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“Absurdly entertaining. Victorious on all fronts.” —Booklist (Starred Review)
