written by Selina Hastings illustrated by Juan Wijngaard
genre: historical fiction
summary: The book is about King Arthur and his mission to find out " What is that women most desire?" The book has beautiful illustrations which reflect the time in history it talks about. It is written in a way that would be understood by more experienced readers. King Arthur is saved by a woman of not a great beauty and in return he has give this woman one of her knights as a husband.
characters: King Arthur, Loathly Lady, Sir Gawain
grade level: third grade
summary: I would recommend this book for older readers. I found this book humorous at the end with the message that is a little stereotypical of women but in a way it is true. However, if the book is read by students it would definitely have to be explained and talked about by the teacher.
