Michael Spradlin moves away from his sassy (and VERY likeable) Spy Goddess novels to take on medieval adventure in The Youngest Templar: Keeper of the Grail. Spradlin takes some familiar elements and turns them into a compelling tale.  He leaves us with a cliffhanger and I know I can't wait for the next installment of this great series.

Spradlin's impeccable pacing keeps the action furious and kinetic as Tristan helps his master battle Saracens and flees the beseiged city of Acre carrying the most precious of treasures--the Holy Grail. Along the way, he teams up with a Saracen assassin and a young Robin Hood. Rich in historical detail and a thrilling read. Bring on Book 2!

In The Youngest Templar, Michael P. Spradlin combines myth, legendary heroes and history to provide top drawer entertainment. This fast paced novel is fueled by good old fashioned story telling and a wonderful cast of characters. I can't wait for the next book...

Narrow escapes, fierce battles, an evil knight, and masked assassins: readers will be captivated by Tristan's story. Particularly intriguing are Tristan's friends Robard, an expert marksman, and the feisty Maryam, whom readers may already know by the names Robin Hood and Maid Marion. The cliffhanger ending leaves the reader eager for the next book in the trilogy. Recommend this book to children who enjoy...action-packed adventures.
