knight who must face bullying
Don
M. Winn, best known for his engaging, funny children’s stories that are
interwoven with meaningful lessons has turned his attention to a new
challenge: chapter books. In his new Sir Kaye series, he uses his
undeniable gift for storytelling and voice that has garnered him
countless fans to tell the story of Kaye, an ordinary boy who likes
exploring and dreams of one day being a legendary knight, like his
father.
In the first installment, The Knighting of Sir Kaye,
young readers are whisked away to Knox, a land full of danger, where
wicked knights are always causing trouble. Through the story of Kaye,
Winn deals with a hot-button issue that faces kids today: bullying.
First, Kaye has to deal with the local village bully, Charles, who
constantly embarrasses him in front of others. Like real-life bullies,
Charles has a knack of finding the weak spot in Kaye’s “armor”: his fear
that he isn’t good enough to become a knight.
Even
after he is knighted, the bullying doesn’t stop. There are much
larger, older, dangerous bullies to contend with: other knights. The
knights aren’t even afraid of bullying the queen.
Readers
will be captivated, turning pages to find out whether or not Kaye and
Reggie can overcome the bullies and challenges they face and restore
order to the land, and will, no doubt, be left anxiously awaiting the
next installment in the series. For many of Winn’s readers, this will
offer the perfect transition into chapter books, allowing them to grow
with their favorite author. For new readers, The Knighting of Sir Kaye
will introduce them to Winn’s signature style that has been winning
over young readers and parents alike for years. Parents will appreciate
Winn’s ability to get their children interested in reading and a way to
talk to their children about bullying.
