Description
Abbot Dagger’s Academy and the Quest for the Holy Grail by Sam Llewellyn is a wildly entertaining comic adventure for readers aged 8 to 12. Set in a boarding school for the exceptionally weird, bad, or dangerously brilliant, the story follows Onyx, Owen and Rosetti — the school’s most troublesome trio — as they attempt to win the legendary Greyte Cup for Achievement. The catch? The cup is actually the Holy Grail, and it’s been hidden somewhere in the boundless realms of history.
With time-travelling escapades involving the Knights Templar, the lost city of Atlantis and even the dinosaurs, this hilarious romp fuses madcap humour with fast-paced action. Described as Monty Python meets St Trinian’s, Llewellyn’s witty storytelling and outlandish imagination make this a perfect choice for young readers who enjoy eccentric characters, clever jokes and a healthy dose of chaos.
Ideal for children who love laugh-out-loud adventures packed with history, mystery and total mayhem.
