Knights of the Lunch Table - Frank Cammuso

Knights of the Lunch Table - Frank Cammuso

  1. The Dodgeball Chronicles - Artie King, new to Camelot Middle School, makes friends with his fellow nerds while trying to avoid the evil Principal Dagger and the Horde, a group of dodgeball-playing bullies.  His friend Percy suggests a game of dodgeball in lieu of being pummeled, but the three friends have no chance.  They go on a few quests to seek help, but nothing seems to work, and soon even their friendly advisor, Mr. Merlyn, puts his job security on the game's outcome.  As is clear, this is a very thinly-veiled pastiche of the Camelot stories.  It's funny and silly, and kids probably will like it.  It was too childish even for me, though.  [3]
