    About this ebook

    Storm clouds hang over the kingdom of Boo’Gar. The cantaloupe crop has failed. There is no money in the treasury. Even kind old King Mewkus has started to doubt himself. Can things get any worse? Of COURSE they can! When Princess Phlema’s beloved goat is kidnapped, King Mewkus and his trusted wizard must assemble those fearsome warriors for justice—The Knights of Boo’Gar! There are just a few small problems. Sir Justin ditched the knights to start a boy band. Sir Daphne traded in her sword for a real estate license. Sir John shed his armor to become a tax attorney. That just leaves young (and short) Sir Rowland and his trusty pet turtle, Angelina. Okay … so maybe there’s a LOT of problems.
     
    The Knights of Boo’Gar is a fast-paced adventure filled with monsters, nose goblins, a spunky princess, and an ostrich named Tulip. Can Rowland conquer his fears in time to rescue the royal goat and expose a diabolical plot against his kingdom?

      Acknowledgments

      This book is dedicated to my wife, Elizabeth, and my sons, Arthur and John. May I always endeavor to make your kingdom a proud and happy one.

      I would also offer thanks to the friends who gave me so much encouragement and support: Paige Braddock, Lex Fajardo, Alena Carnes, Vicki Scott, and Brian Fies, thank you for your ideas and endless enthusiasm. Thanks also to Andrea Colvin, an editor bold enough to take a chance on a book about medieval boogers.

      I’m grateful to my story editor, Michael Wexler, who endured my snippy e-mails and steadfastly guided me through my own creative bog and onto dry land. And to the fantastic team at Andrews McMeel, particularly Dorothy O’Brien, Shelly Barkes, Tim Lynch, and Kirsty Melville.

      You guys are the greatest.

      Chapter 1

      The morning sun shone through the tall windows of Castle Boo’Gar as King Mewkus and his faithful wizard, Edwart, sat in the game room playing a relaxing game of Castles and Cantaloupes.

      You can’t move your game piece like that, said King Mewkus.

      Yes, I can, said Edwart. I rolled a nine, which gives me the Charm of Dexterity.

      The Charm of Dexterity is on a seven roll, replied the king.

      Yes, but I captured a Pixie of Ripeness on my last move. That makes all my rolls a seven, snapped the wizard.

      The king was outraged. Where did you find a Pixie of Ripeness in the Cave of the Anxious Beaver? That’s not even possible!

      Your Majesty, replied his old friend calmly, I do wish you’d learn the rules of this game. We’ve been playing every morning for nine years.

      The king tossed his game piece to one side and slumped back in his chair. Well . . . I wish you didn’t have those bushy eyebrows. Too bad wishes don’t come true.

      Suddenly the door to the game room burst open.

      FATHER! shouted Princess Phlema. FATHER! He’s GONE!

      The startled king knocked over his cup of turnip tea, spilling it on the carpet. Oh dear, Phlema, said the annoyed king. Now look what you’ve done.

      FATHER! screamed Phlema. Babycakes is not in his pen. He’s been taken!

      The king dabbed at the carpet with a faded lace napkin. Calm down, my sparkling jewel. I’m sure you’re mistaken.

      Who is Babycakes, may I ask? inquired the wizard.

      Princess Phlema turned to Edwart, her royal lip quivering with heartfelt emotion. Babycakes is the sweetest, smartest goat in the royal stable. I’ve grown quite fond of him, so this is a major disaster! I may cry myself to DEATH! wailed the distraught teenager.

      With that, the highly excitable Princess Phlema fell to the ground and melted into a puddle of sobbing and crying.

      WHAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa!

      The wizard looked over at the king. A goat? said Edwart.

      MY BABY! wailed Princess Phlema.

      The king stood up, looking at Edwart. He rolled his eyes ever so slightly. There, there now, my daughter, said the king. I’m sure he just wandered off to find some tasty grass to nibble on. Rest easy, my dear.

      King Mewkus looked down and weakly patted his daughter on the shoulder.

      No! He’s been taken! sobbed the princess. This morning I went to check on him—to give him his oatmeal and tell him a story, she cried. This is a disaster! What cruel villain . . . what insane nut job would steal an innocent goat? WHAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa!

      Perhaps someone who likes cheese? the wizard offered helpfully.

      The king stood up and thought for a moment, touching the golden key that sparkled on a chain around his neck. Who indeed? There are many cheese lovers in Boo’Gar . . . but to steal a royal goat? That is bold. An act of defiance, really, the king said, his voice rising.

      The king’s cheeks flushed with anger. Edwart looked at him with alarm. Calm down, Your Highness, said Edwart.

      This will not stand! said King Mewkus, pounding the game table with his fist. I am the king, and people should keep their mitts off my property. This is an outrage!

      We’re still talking about a goat, right? asked the wizard.

      DO SOMETHING, FATHER! sobbed the distraught princess.

      Princess Phlema remained curled up on the floor, a complete wreck. She sobbed and sobbed,
