Dreadful Damsel was the first ever chapter book I read to our eldest, Dragon of Doooooom was the first one she read to me and Sorcerer of Slime was the book that put her off gummy bears for life. So when a stranger with piercing green eyes and a devastating smile arrives at Castle Sideways, King Burt is thrilled and demotes Louis to chief cleaner. In the fourth hilarious story about the brilliant, calm, ingenious 12-year-old Knight Sir Louis, Splint the Sinister Snowball has his icy eyes set on world domination with the help of his frosty siblings, Flint, Hint, Mint, Clint and Sharon.It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. Squire Lyme is soon knighted to become Sir Lyme, manages to replace Louis as king’s favourite and sets a slimy and fiendish plot in motion.

Knight Sir Louis is the champion knight at Castle Sideways, and always the first person to turn to in an emergency.
