Saturday, Oct 07, 2017 at 10:10am

$23.99

Odo and Eleanor are catching eels when they come across something shiny stuck in the water. They pull it out and are surprised to discover a sword with unusual pattern on it. They are even more surprised when it starts talking. The sword then knights Odo, who does not want to be a knight. Eleanor on the other hand, has always wanted to be a knight. Her mother was a knight and Eleanor wants to follow her footsteps. She has always wanted a sword and in her free time she sharpens sticks to practice fencing with. They decide (actually the sword tells them) to go on an adventure to save the humans from an attack by dragons. Just your average day to day task. Sure it is dangerous and they will likely die. But, if a sword says it's okay then it must be okay, right? Read Have Sword, Will Travel to find out!

From New York Times bestselling authors Garth Nix and Sean Williams, a chivalrous adventure featuring a very unlikely knight, an admirably stubborn girl, and a talking sword.It is strange enough that Odo and Eleanor have stumbled upon a sword in a dried-up river outside their village. It is even stranger that Odo is able to remove it from where it's buried. And it's REMARKABLY strange when the sword starts to talk.Odo and Eleanor have unearthed Biter, a famous fighter from earlier times. By finding Biter, Odo instantly becomes a knight -- a role he is exquisitely unsuited for. Eleanor, however, would make a PERFECT knight -- but she's not the one with the sword. Finding Biter is only the start -- boy, girl, and sword must soon go on a quest to save their kingdom from threats in both human and dragon form, in this new fantasy triumph from Garth Nix and Sean Williams.
