Philbert Metalblade comes from a long line of brave knights. To the consternation of his family, Philbert doesn’t excel at typical knightly activities and prefers to work on his inventions. His family sends him to Knight School where he meets some interesting characters like Caligula Bigarms and Professor Lofty-Britches. Philbert’s story is amusing and clever, but it also contains important lessons about accepting people for who they are and truly appreciating a person’s unique talents.
