The Three Musketeers

Draw your sword and join the swashbuckling adventures of the renowned Three Musketeers, now written with young readers in mind!

Young d’Artagnan is bound for the city of Paris, France, where he hopes to join the royal guard, the Musketeers. But on his way to fulfilling his dreams, hotheaded d’Artagnan finds himself caught up in duels, traitorous schemes, and the mystery of a missing jewel. And this is just the beginning of his adventures!

Can the young swordsman really follow in his father’s footsteps and become a Musketeer? When he has a run-in with a trio of Musketeers—Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—d’Artagnan receives an unconventional education in honor and loyalty, swordsmanship and friendship. En garde!

With foil on the cover and vivid full-color art from Carlo Molinari, this adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s The Three Musketeers promises to be an exciting first chapter book.
