Synopsis

Un viaje de sus padres obliga a Sam a vivir un tiempo en el castillo de sus excéntricos tíos, algo que no es tarea fácil. Sin embargo, el hallazgo de un antiguo pergamino le dará la pista para hacer realidad su sueñ ¡convertirse en un auténtico noble caballero! En este libro, ¡Sam se encuentra ante su última misión! Para superarla necesitará a su prima Prune y todas sus habilidades de caballero, porque esta vez debe adentrarse en el Bosque Tenebroso. Lo peor no es que esté habitado por lobos, sino las terribles criaturas que acechan desde los árboles.
