Young mouse Calib Christopher aspires to be a Knight of the Round Table. For generations, his family has valiantly led the mice who live just out of sight of the humans, defending Camelot from enemies both big and small. To join the Round Table, Calib must spend his days training with other young would-be Knights. But when a new threat arises—one that could catch even the Two-Leggers off guard—it's up to Calib and his friend Cecily to unmask the real enemy, unite their forces, and save the castle they all call home.

I enjoyed this story so much more than I expected. It is essentially an Arthurian Legend starring a cast of talking animals. A sort of underground animal version of Camelot, that even has its own knights of the round table. It reminded me quite a bit of Tale of Desperaux, with a touch of Redwall and even a bit of Game of Thrones mixed in for good measure.
+
This book is fantastic. Not only is it huge and full of full-color maps and graphics, but it is loaded with tons of information written in an engaging format! It discusses changes to the landmasses, and also delves into changes to life on planet earth, and how scientists know these things. There is even a timeline in the back of the book (you guys know I love a timeline)!  I love how you can see the changes to the Earth across time and even in the future. I would say this is aimed at a middle-grade/upper middle-grade audience, so it would be a perfect tie-in if you are studying the Build Your Library Prehistory or Darwin and Evolution unit studies. If you have a science lover, they are going to love this book.

This story is filled with great messages - even a very small creature can change the world, girls can be commanders and knights, and when everyone works together, amazing things can happen.

Magic, battles, talking animals, and brave heroes - this story has a little bit of everything and would make for a rollicking good read-aloud!

List of All Booklists

Other Booklists

Why is HBBB a thing?

I am a list maker. I love organizing booklists, to-do lists, checklists of all kinds. I spend a great deal of my time researching books for my job and I’ve often found it frustrating that there isn’t one reliable resource where I can find an organized timeline of literature. So I’ve created one. I’ve set out to create a resource that will guide you on a literary adventure through history.

You can find books here on just about every time period or historical topic and for any age level. I’ve done my best to research and vet each title to ensure that this list is filled with living books. I’ve noted content warnings when necessary and my daughters and I have reviewed many of the titles recommended. This has been and will continue to be a labor of love, as we continue to build this website and update these book suggestions. I hope you find it helpful!

Thanks and Happy Reading, Emily
