A treacherous maze stands between a young peasant and his dream of becoming a glorious knight. Tim and his loyal band of mismatched friends have already survived some terrifying quests, but their bravery is about to be tested like never before. To prove their true worth to the kingdom, they must venture into a sprawling, underground puzzle known as the Labyrinth of Doom. The dark corridors are packed with dangerous traps, devious riddles, and bizarre monsters waiting in the shadows. With the arrogant Prince Ruprecht constantly trying to sabotage their progress, Tim, Belinda, Ferkle, and Rover must rely on their wits and teamwork to survive. You will laugh out loud as this hilarious adventure takes the young heroes through twisting paths and absurd challenges. They must conquer the maze and defeat the fearsome beast at its center if they ever hope to see daylight again.

Tim is just a peasant, but he dreams of something much bigger. He wants more out of life than growing up to be a woodsman like his father. Unfortunately, the only route to success in the kingdom of Wyld is to be born a prince. Still, Tim is determined, brave, and clever, even though he rarely gets the credit for it. When news spreads that Princess Grace has been abducted by the evil, foul smelling monster known as the Stinx, Prince Ruprecht needs a legion of knights to help rescue her. Tim finally sees his lucky break. Jump into a hilarious, highly illustrated adventure where a twelve year old boy volunteers to help a cowardly prince and a not very powerful wizard on an epic quest. Why it pulls you in: You will laugh out loud at Tim's impressive vocabulary and sheer pluck. Even though he does not know how to ride a horse or wield anything more deadly than a water bucket, you will be cheering for him to prove that anyone can be a hero.
