He has school, homework, parents, a best friend who is much more practical than he is, and a bully named Angus who already makes ordinary days hard enough. Now Jason has to learn what being brave actually means, especially when the person in danger is the last person he wants to help.ToKnight is a funny, heartfelt middle-grade fantasy adventure about courage, responsibility, friendship, bullying, hidden pain, and the difference between wanting to look like a hero and choosing to act like one.
