Max and the crew are back for another fantastic adventure. This time, knight training hasn’t gone exactly as Max had expected, and even worse, Byjovia is in trouble again — the Bodkins are returning (you’ll learn what a Bodkin is). Will brave Max, Kevyn, Millie, and Simon be able to save the kingdom again? Battle of the Bodkins has all of the action, villains, humor, and heart that readers loved in the first Max and the Midknights book. More Max? Yes, please!

About the Author

Lincoln Peirce is a New York Times bestselling author and cartoonist. His comic strip Big Nate appears in over 400 newspapers worldwide and online at gocomics.com/bignate. In 2010, he began a series of illustrated novels based on the strip, introducing Nate and his classmates and teachers to a new generation of young readers. In the past seven years, sixteen million Big Nate books have been sold.
The New York Times bestselling Max and the Midknights originated as an unfinished spoof of sword and sorcery tales. Returning to the idea years later, Lincoln rewrote the story around Max, a ten-year-old apprentice troubadour who dreams of becoming a knight.
When he is not writing or drawing, Lincoln enjoys playing ice hockey, doing crossword puzzles, and hosting a weekly radio show devoted to vintage country music. He and his wife, Jessica, have two children and live in Portland, Maine.

Praise for Max and the Midknights: Battle of the Bodkins (Max & The Midknights #2)

"In Peirce’s latest comics-novel hybrid, humor abounds throughout the interplay of text, speech-bubble dialogue, and black-and-white illustrations....But Peirce also adds emotional depth to Max’s struggle with a very relatable anxiety: she wrestles with doubts about her skills (“What if I’m a lousy knight?”)." -The Horn Book

"Consistently entertaining and enjoyable." -Kirkus Reviews
