Quick Summary
Will Treaty and his apprentice Maddie pose as traveling circus performers to sneak into a dangerous baron's castle and rescue a kidnapped prince, which means learning juggling, sword swallowing, and outsmarting guards while pretending to be father and daughter. Kids will devour the witty banter between the unlikely duo, the pulse-pounding close calls, and the satisfaction of watching a young apprentice prove she can handle missions meant for legends. If your kid loves the Ranger's Apprentice series or thrilling medieval adventures like Treasure Island, they'll be completely hooked. Perfect for ages 9-14 in grades 4-8 who crave action, clever disguises, and a hero who's still learning.
