Hector and the Big Bad Knight

Author: Alex T Smith

In the quiet village of Spottybottom chaos has been unleashed! Granny has had her wand stolen by the Big Bad Knight, and Hector, the tiniest boy in the village, bravely decides he should be the one to get it back … Of course there are many obstacles for Hector to conquer, including a humongous hungry dragon. However, through bravery, cleverness and a handy packet of crisps, Hector manages to save the day and teach the naughty knight a lesson.

Another super duper fun-filled treasure from Alex T Smith, giving the message that even the tiniest of people can do the greatest of things.
